PeopleSoft, Visualized: Getting the Big Picture with Pivot Grids, Analytics, and Kibana

Presented by:
Paul Taylor at Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

Ever feel that you’re so snowed under with PeopleSoft transactions that you can’t see the forest for the trees? PeopleSoft has some powerful tools available that can give you the big picture, letting you focus your attention where it is most needed. When those tools let you drill down from insight-heavy graphics to taking action on specific transactions, you have the power to master your workload. BYU has been investing in these visual tools, and we’ll demonstrate them in this session.
BYU partnered with Gideon Taylor to create a pivot grid-based tool that helps users see what’s happening across thousands of eForm transactions. Related Actions let users drill into the transactions themselves, send emails to participants, and leverage administrative tools, all conditioned on user security.
Gideon Taylor will also review other visualization tools available in PeopleSoft, including Simplified Analytics, Fluid Dashboards, Oracle JET, and Kibana.

How to Avoid a Failed Chatbot: It’s All About the Customer

Presented by:
Andrew Bediz at Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

In a July 2022 press release, Gartner predicted that chatbots will become the primary customer service channel for a quarter of organizations within the next five years. Uma Challa, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner added a critical caveat to this prediction. “When designed correctly, chatbots can improve customer experience and drive positive customer emotion at a lower cost than live interactions.” Chatbots. Digital assistants. Alexa. Siri. Hey Google. No matter what you call them, the “why” behind a chatbot’s project makes all the difference between a painful failure and a transformational tool. Users don’t want a toy, they want their questions answered quickly, their lives made easier, and their time spent wisely. Your goal should be to automate painful processes for your users. Join Andrew Bediz, IntraSee co-founder and Managing Director, and Paul Taylor, CEO of Gideon Taylor on Wednesday, October 12th at 2:45 EDT as they share how to look at a digital assistant project as an automation and service endeavor instead of making a cool chatbot. Learn how IntraSee and Gideon Taylor are automating from A to Z, from user support to business processes outcomes with Ida and eForms. We look forward to answering your most pressing questions.

Work@Home… The New Multi-State Tax Compliance Nightmare

Presented by:
Tyger Vollrath at PS WebSolution, Inc.

Abstract:

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.

Let’s Clean House and We’ll Start with Address Data

Presented by:
Tyger Vollrath at PS WebSolution, Inc.

Abstract:

We all want to have clean data in our HCM systems. Bad data in, means bad decisions; but often times the most overlooked ‘simple’ data that can be just as important as payroll and job data is employee and work addresses. In HCM, address data is not only used to mail things, it’s also used to identify and assign tax codes to employees as well as determine which benefits plans are available to employees. If the address is invalid, or full of typos (which happens in Employee Self-Service or when Administrators try to transcribed handwritten forms), it can be difficult to get these downstream processes setup correctly. As delivered, PeopleSoft does not have any delivered functionality or integrations to validate address data.

What Color is YOUR Parachute? Smart Strategies to Get From ‘PeopleSoft’ to ‘What’s Next’

Presented by:
Paul Taylor at Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

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?

Unintended Consequences of SaaS Solutions

Presented by:
Paul Taylor at Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

One of PeopleSoft’s greatest strengths has always been its flexibility but it’s also one of its greatest challenges. If you’re contemplating the move to a SaaS solution, how do you shift from the unlimited (and sometimes uncontrolled) flexibility of PeopleSoft to cookie-cutter rigidity? What do you lose and gain along the way?
Join us for Paul Taylor’s theoretical (and often entertaining) musings of “what might be”. How do you address business requirements that aren’t delivered within the base product? What additional overhead needs to be considered with plug-ins and add-ons? How do you manage user expectations…and how do you tell them, “No”? Paul will explore benefits and challenges both obvious and unseen. DISCLAIMER: We hope you’re curious about what he has to say, because we’re not quite sure what to expect.

FSCM 9.2 – Payables – Match Exception Collaboration Center – Make your life easy with this new tool

Presented by:
Nadeem Aslam at Astute Business Solutions

Abstract:

See the latest features of the Match Exception Collaboration Center. Match Exception Collaboration Center provides both Accounts Payable (AP) and non-AP (Buyers/Receivers, requestors, and approvers) users a single place to review and respond to match exceptions, while maintaining segregation of duties.
When resolving match exceptions, AP requires more information about transaction details from buyers, receivers or inspectors. Payable users typically use the Match Workbench to resolve match exceptions. Non-AP users are not typically granted access to this workbench or does not support non-AP users in correcting match exceptions effectively. Hence, providing a single window for AP and non-Payables users to collaborate increases the efficiency in resolving match exceptions.

Case Study: How did Daytona State College (DSC) use PTF scripts for system validation?

Presented by:
Saad Mohammed at ERPA

Abstract:

Join us to learn about how ERPA helped Daytona State College (DSC) to use PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) scripts for system validation. Although PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) is primarily used for functional testing, we will demonstrate our approach for automating system validation using PTF scripts.
After a system refresh or update, customers must spend considerable amount of time to validate if the basic system functionality (such as Ping test, COBOL process, SQR process, log in/log out) works. This validation usually involves someone logging into the system and manually checking each of the functionality.
ERPA has developed PTF scripts for Daytona State College (DSC) to automate the validation of the system post refresh or post update. The system validation scripts can be executed with one click execution and a summarized report is available at the end of testing. This package makes it easier to validate any setup and configuration multiple times during different test cycles or after PUM updates.
