When starting a digital transformation: it is best to know why you’re doing it. Is moving to the Cloud a means to an end: or an end in itself? Are you trying to impact the bottom line: improve the user experience: or both? As the industry learns real-world lessons about re-platforming in the Cloud era: you’d better have your priorities straight. This session will take a hopefully sober: and likely sobering look at how a SaaS project affects users and finances. Moving to the cloud will definitely change user experience and functionality – probably in both positive and negative ways. Cloud moves always change cost structures – but don’t automatically reduce cost. Your priorities should dictate the timing of your Cloud move: and well-informed decisions may contradict herd mentality. You may find it worthwhile to invest in dramatically improving your PeopleSoft user experience today while you are preparing for your Cloud move. Sorry if we’re the first to tell you this: but SaaS won’t magically make everything better. Warning: Sacred cows (and conventional wisdom) are not safe in this session!

Real Life Scenario: During the Hypercare phase of a JDE deployment: a priority ticket led to the discovery of certain critical fields and tables that required a mass upload of data: as well as mass update of existing records. Absence of standard mass upload programs and presence of a dynamic UKID field in the live environment further complicated possible resolution approaches. JDE Orchestrator Based resolution: During this presentation we will explore how an orchestrator solution was quickly developed: with the capability to perform a mass update of records into the required tables: by using standard JDE Interactive forms: reducing the projected fix from days to a matter of seconds. Using an orchestrator also maintained the integrity of relevant data and the UKID fields. We will review how the orchestration was developed: the elements of the orchestration: the data provided by the client: and the testing procedure to execute the correction: and discuss how this solution was superior to often-used SQL updates. Lastly: we will use this example to facilitate a discussion on innovative ways to use orchestrations to solve implementation challenges.

Managing day to day operations in an ERP system can be challenging in its own right: but trying to keep up with the implementation of three new work management systems: a new business unit: an upgrade to an auxiliary financial management system: your own PUM & PeopleTools Upgrade: AND day to day operations in the same year is exhausting. In my session: I’ll be discussing how we managed to juggle all of that work across a handful of environments in order to hit multiple go-live dates across six months while also supporting production. I’ll start by reviewing our timelines and the conflicting factors in play across these efforts: some fire drills that caused re-planning: and run through diagrams capturing our strategy. I’ll wrap things up with a discussion on how we cleaned up our environments after the go-lives and lessons learned on how we’re moving forward with a better environment strategy.

In the past 10 years, working from home has become more and more common. When employees only worked in a few specific locations, it was easy to setup those locations in PeopleSoft with its core features (including its tax requirements) and maintain that location for all the employee’s that worked there. But in the new remote working world (especially with COVID), employees are now working most of their hours from home, which may be in other states and with new tax localities. State tax revenue offices have become more aware of this trend and have been more aggressive about getting those employees or employers to pony up any work location taxes in addition to any resident taxes the employee should be paying. But this can be a maintenance and compliance nightmare for a payroll and tax department. Especially for states like Pennsylvania which have work tax codes in the thousands. Ensuring that the correct codes are assigned to an employee’s work and resident location(s) is challenging but we’ll show you how.

This session will teach you strategies to reduce your customization footprint and increase organizational value while retaining business-specific differentiators.

This presentation will cover identifying system performance issues within the PeopleSoft applications: as well as provide suggestions for tuning. One-third of the class will focus on tuning the application stack (e.g. Web and App server): where the remaining two-thirds of the class will cover identifying slow running SQL: and how this can be tuned to run more efficiently by re-coding: adding indexes: or even making database level changes. The class will attempt to be database/system agnostic: but most examples will be done on Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. Target audience is system admins: developers: and DBAs of PeopleSoft systems.

PeopleSoft Testing Framework (PTF) Roundtable discussion will include organizations from the Oracle Community that share how they are using PTF: tips: tricks: and best practices.

Listen to their approach: how they keep their tests current with each update: and how they have built confidence in the user base that PTF is the answer.

Deep Dive into how Related Content Framework can be used to quickly and easily configure PeopleSoft to display related data in a configurable fashion when implementing new modules and reducing time spent changing pages to make the user experience more streamlined

SaaS-based analytics and/or machine learning platforms have the potential to provide millions of dollars worth of insight: but they require access to a LOT of your data. The two week implementation promised by the vendor is likely based on the simplest possible integration approach: one which almost certainly doesn’t take into account your organization’s security posture: compliance rules: or competing capabilities within your organization. This session will walk through one such integration between an on-premises PS and a SaaS analytics/ML platform: paying attention to these complexities.
