Anne’s Thoughts

PeopleSoft RECONNECT Live! at Quest BlUEPRINT4D Conference

Wow, I can’t believe how busy May has been for me.   I attended the PeopleSoft RECONNECT Live! at Quest BLUEPRINT4D.  I loved meeting everyone at the conference and all those who came up to me to say, “Hi!”.   The feeling of everyone around us talking about PeopleSoft brought invigorating energy to me to go back to do so much more for the product.  When I say this, this wasn’t only for me but for all those of us on the PeopleSoft Strategy team.  Hearing about the features that people have adopted and getting feedback on delivered and roadmap items validates all our teams’ hard work in creating the enhancements.

Enhancement Discussed and Implemented

  • Payroll Insight Analytics – Cost, Operations and Trends
  • Direct Deposit Options Enhanced
  • BI Publisher Bulk Printing for Forms 1042-S and 1099-R
  • Payroll for North America Quick Calculations
  • HCM Lockdown Framework

We often don’t know what has gone right for our customers but getting that positive feedback in person and being able to pass that back to our teams is an incredible perk.  My favorite comment in person and offline has been how much love everyone has given to our Payroll for North America Quick Calculation (Quick Calc for short) feature.

Thank you to all the customers that attended the PeopleSoft RECONNECT Live!    I hope more can join us in person next year at Quest BLUEPRINT4D, May 7 – 10, 2024, at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.
