AI is the most talked-about subject among business leaders today, getting top billing at places like the World Economic Forum in Davos. There is a general feeling that AI advances in the last two years are important, perhaps even groundbreaking, but most firms struggle with the relevance of AI to their own businesses. AI seems like a far away dream, not a practical technology that companies large and small can exploit today.
History has taught us that waiting for the “right moment” to jump onto a technology platform is a fool’s errand at best. Alternatively, the smart money seeks to understand the technology and the various ways to experiment with its use, in low-risk fashion, along the company’s value chain.
We have been applying AI for 25 years, long before it was cool. We’ve made many, many mistakes. We’ve discovered some surprising truths. Along the way we’ve learned a great deal about AI and its practical applications that almost any business can embrace. Yes, AI is powerful, and applied thoughtfully it can propel many businesses to a level of efficiency and value creation that is unmatched by its AI-challenged competitors. But just like any powerful force, it must be managed carefully.
In our talk we will be reaching out to practically-oriented business leaders and technologists who are intrigued by the headlines, but are at a loss as to how (and where, and how much) to start with AI. We will offer a few methodical and systematic steps to get to a smarter, 2.0 version of the company that you are today.

Using Oracle Machine Learning: I’ll show how to produce results quickly. The first step is Algorithmic Business Thinking to see where the biggest impact will be for the business. Next: applying the correct algorithm and understanding different settings will be important. Then: training the model with either data that you have or data via Big Data opportunities will be key to teach a model. After all of that: you can then test your model against data that you understand well already to see if this is the best model or if a different algorithm might be better. Lastly: testing the model on NEW data that starts to prescribe what to do in the future. Understanding which customers or potential customers are likely to buy. Finding anomalies quicker to address as needed. Knowing which product is the NEXT product a customer will buy. Finding the attributes of great customers that you have within new customers that are opportunities & you’ll know what they want to buy first or second. This is an intermediate look at the practical application of Machine Learning.

Oracle’s ability to leverage AI and Machine Learning (ML) from within Oracle Machine Learning (OML): OAC: SaaS or using their recent acquisition GUI is flexible. Oracle products will all start to leverage AI/ML! Knowing when/where to leverage these advancements may be the difference between success & failure in the future. We’ll look at the latest technology and algorithms that Oracle provides as part of the product: but also the Cx products that are used to leverage AI/ML & Chatbots. We will explore how to leverage and integrate AI into your companies tech plan. We’ll see the state of AI & ML and how you can test and use this technology to create the future. We’ll also look at the current Acceleration of the Cloud with the Big Data Revolution & Internet of Things (IOT) which will drive the Cloud even Faster. You’ll see how to innovate better using leading edge Oracle products.

It is an exciting time. It is a terrifying time. Technology seems to be moving faster than anyone could have imagined, upending industry after industry, but providing tremendous opportunities in its wake at the same time.
This all leaves us wondering… what can we do to be Future Ready given these new and uncertain times brought about by potent technologies like AI?
You might be surprised to know that this is hardly the first time that society has been confronted with massive upheavals due to the introduction of the sweeping technology of the day. Who can forget the violent riots in the late 1700s as the Industrial Revolution was taking hold? In this talk, we will look carefully at several periods of history and the lessons they taught us as to how to prepare to thrive in a world that includes AI-borne superpowers. History is the finest of teachers.
We will then shift over to a more modern take on what is going on today. Here again we look at people and companies that can teach us more about what the future holds. Tesla, Apple, SpaceX, and Amazon are remarkable firms with charismatic founders, but what lessons do those companies hold for the average businessperson looking to make a difference going forward? We believe that we have uncovered some crucial features of modern-day firms that will propel them long into the future, along with other firms that adopt their practices.
Beyond companies in business, how can individuals become Future Ready? Our conversation will inevitably lead to the steps that people can follow to prepare for the coming wave of technological progression. We will offer tips and tricks to help you get ahead and stay ahead of the rapid advances. Some of this advice is rather counterintuitive, some of this will be hard work. All of it will cause you to stretch your mind in ways that you would not have done naturally.
Join us as we take a walking tour of the future through the lens of the past.

If the events of recent years have taught us anything, it is that the only constant is change. Whether this change is driven by a global pandemic, an evolving regulatory landscape, or new technological breakthroughs, all organizations must be prepared to navigate a continuously shifting business climate. Increasingly, they must also navigate these changes with fewer people, as a perfect storm of demographic headwinds threatens to cause long-term talent shortages. These challenges will require teams to constantly evolve, and this evolution starts with the skills of their workforce.
In this discussion Will Markow, Vice President of Applied Research at Lightcast, will discuss emerging drivers of workforce disruption, and examine the skills your team needs to remain future-ready, even in a talent scarce environment. This session will highlight key workforce trends from Lightcast’s research and explore steps that organizations take to build a workforce with the skills needed to not only survive but thrive in an age of constant change.

Security teams are facing a perfect storm of disruption. New technologies constantly expand attack surfaces and add complexity to an organization’s IT infrastructure, emerging threats increase the range of protective measures organizations must employ, and shifting regulatory requirements introduce new compliance challenges. Compounding these issues, many IT security teams are already woefully understaffed: in the U.S., we only have 72 cybersecurity workers for every 100 workers that employers demand. Taken together, these factors make cybersecurity jobs some of the most rapidly evolving in the entire economy – and some of the most difficult to future-proof.
In this discussion, Will Markow, Vice President of Applied Research at Lightcast, will discuss how organizations can stay one step ahead of these challenges and maintain a future-ready cybersecurity workforce.

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! We will question the consensus meaning of “digital transformation” and propose a more challenging definition; we’ll take a clear-eyed look at the negative impacts you can expect from a SaaS move: and steps you can take to mitigate them. You might end up wanting to rethink your whole enterprise project calendar. What: did you think this was going to be easy?

Synergy – the bonus that is achieved when things work together harmoniously. – Mark TwainThe suite of solutions that make up our ability to hire: update Job Data: maintain Positions: update Person Data: and update employment status has seen a major overhaul in recent years. Gone are the days of classic pages: hello configurable activity guides. First came Fluid Position and the big introduction of effective sequence. It wasn’t long before Fluid Job Data dazzled us with its integration to Page and Field Configurator and Drop Zones: but there was always something missing. The void is filled: introducing Fluid Person Data.Each of these three new components provides an updated user experience and a new way to meet business process requirements for end users. When we take a strategic look at implementing these three components as a combined tool: we see harmony peeking through. A synergistic sunrise some may say. Join our session to understand the business process requirements that can be solved using these tools and to see a demo of a cohesive user experience.

Sorry to bring this up, but there is probably a huge ERP project in your future. Whether you move to a SaaS platform or reimplement PeopleSoft to fully modernize, if you want to stay relevant, it’s not a question of “if”, but “when”. How does your organization go about preparing for that? Someone once said that implementing a new ERP can be like sewing your parachute after you jump. You just hope you can get enough pieced together before you hit the ground. But wouldn’t it be easier (and safer) if your parachute was ready before you even left the ground?

The IL Wage Payment & Collection Act (IWPCA) amended regulations now require employers to maintain the following records for three years:- All policies regarding reimbursement;- All employee requests for reimbursement.- Documentation showing approval or denial of reimbursement; and- Documentation showing actual reimbursement and supporting documents.Our project made the necessary changes in the system to make sure we keep a record of an employee’s expense reports as required: including the ones returned by approvers. Previously: they are being automatically deleted if they have been inactive for 30 or more days. We also removed the ability for employees to delete their own expense reports to ensure we don’t lose record of them.Another audit item we needed to address was the requirement of an expenses supervisor approval for all paid expense reports. Previously: employees who do not have an expenses supervisor set up in HR: can attach a signed copy of their expense reports to the submission. When Accounts Payable approvers do not see an electronic expenses supervisor approval in place: they can check attachments to make sure it has a signed approval from the supervisor. This manual process sometimes results in expense reports getting approved without the required supervisor approval which is an audit red flag. The project made the electronic supervisor approval required for all expense report submissions which cut down the time and effort for our Accounts Payable and also resulted in faster turnaround for reimbursement requests.

Conversational Interfaces have been around for a long time. With PeopleSoft Chatbots: organizations can now take an internal support function and automate it through a Chatbot. We’ll look at how chatbots work: the delivered Oracle chatbots: how to build your own: pricing: and Oracle use cases.

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. I also expect that I’d sprinkle in a few general lessons learned throughout this whole process as it all took place during my first year as the manager of application development in this space.

Oracle has slowly transitioned most of their user-facing transactions to fluid objects/pages as fluid objects are designed to render more consistently across devices. Additionally: Northwestern has transitioned all other user-facing transactions to Fluid Pages. In 2022: a Fluid Requisition Discovery project was done to identify configurations/customizations that would be necessary to support the purchasing business process at Northwestern. Discovery included development to bring over configs and customizations currently in place in the Classic pages: functional analysis as well as User Acceptance Testing.In January of 2023: Northwestern went live with Fluid Requisitions but kept Classic Requisitions available to ease the transition for users as well as work out any additional bugs not found during the discovery and implementation phases. Configurations/customizations that had to be developed in Fluid Requisitions included but weren’t limited to: Making Supplier required: Disabling Unused Menu Items: Custom Field Labels and Look-ups: Integration with Third Party Marketplace: Removed Ability for Users to Editing Supplier/Item Info on Catalog Requisitions.During the transition phase while both Classic and Fluid Requisitions are still available: the most substantial issue discovered in Fluid Reqs was that users were not able to resubmit a Denied Requisition. With Classic Requisitions: we had a workaround to edit price or quantity which would retrigger workflow. This workaround did not work in Fluid Requisitions for multi-line requisitions. Oracle provided a workaround for Fluid which included adding/editing the Justification Comments which then re-triggered workflow. To help make this apparent to users: we implemented a customization which requires Justification Comments for all denied fluid requisitions.Now that we believe that we’ve worked out any roadblocks for users: we plan to discontinue Classic Requisitions as the end of this calendar year.

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.

Join us at the Quest Blueprint conference for an enlightening session by Texas CPA, where they will share their organization’s transformative journey towards automating their ERP testing process.
The organization faced significant challenges with managing manual test scripts and test evidence for their Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System. Testing required to support the application changes and dependent hub agencies for a highly customized ERP application is complex and needs extensive regression testing and significant test evidence documentation. Manual testing covered this requirement however it was time consuming, person dependent, inconsistent, and varied based on change and functionality, making it difficult for the QA team to validate and sign-off on testing results, leading to substantial rework.
The organization embarked on a transformative journey to automate testing scripts from 7+ years of manual testing. The business challenge revolved around creating a standard testing platform and evaluating thousands of test evidence and test cases for automation.
Attendees of this session will gain insights into the challenges faced by the organization, the approach taken to automate the testing process, and the benefits achieved through modern data-driven techniques. The speakers will share valuable lessons learned, best practices, and the overall impact of this automation journey on the organization’s confidence in their complex testing process.
