The purpose of this presentation is to educate PeopleSoft customers with the data visualization, dashboarding, and analytical capabilities now available with Kibana and PeopleTools 8.60. Specific focus for this session will cover the seamless migration from “Elastic/Kibana” to “OpenSearch/Dashboards”. The presenter is part of the Early Adopter Program for Kibana and OpenSearch. You will walk away with everything you need to know to migrate to the new Open Source standard. We will cover Oracle’s messaging that “Kibana is not going away”…in fact “the new search and reporting tool” is simply the same code line as Elastic and Kibana, and any effort put into Elastic/Kibana will translate and migrate seamlessly to OpenSearch/Dashboards.

Unintended Consequences of SaaS Solutions

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?

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”?

“LUie, what’s my Math Placement score?” How LUC’s chatbot is improving student life

View recording

Presented by:
Andrew Bediz, Gideon Taylor & Scott Livingston, Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

Several years ago, Loyola University Chicago established a five-year plan to advance the Loyola Digital Experience (LDE) strategy in part by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). A digital assistant would be a perfect blend of digitizing previously analog services, like student support, by deploying AI. The digital assistant would be piloted during the 2019 fall semester and eventually rolled out to 16,000+ undergraduate students. They named i... t LUie, and it would provide hundreds of answers to frequent questions while leveraging information sourced from bookstores, Google Maps, and PeopleSoft Campus.
In the three+ years since LUie was introduced, data indicates it has been a resounding success. Much higher student engagement. Accuracy rates in the mid-90 percentile. Current statistical highlights include a doubling in usage rate this year validate Loyola’s decision to implement a digital assistant.

“Everyone is Doing It” and Other Bad Reasons for Cloud Moves

View recording

Presented by:
Paul Taylor & Scott Livingston, Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

“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 u... sers 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?

Presented by:
Pramod Alluri, Datavail & Gurpreet Burmi, Datavail

Abstract:

In this session, we will discuss the often-asked question: What do you wish you had known? Migrating to or implementing a new Cloud platform is a large project — but it is only the first step to successful Cloud adoption. But that learning does not stop at Go-Live. Once you are live in the Cloud, your new priorities include onboarding new resources, establishing and following Cloud standards, and optimizing your Cloud investment. Given the ever-c... hanging and evolving nature of Cloud Applications, there is always more. Let’s spend some time discussing lessons learned.
Objectives:
• Discuss how to handle change in the Cloud, whether it be technology or business process. The rate of change is significant and often well beyond that of on-premises. How can we handle that, and what resources are critical to this activity?
• What does your organization need to consider as it progresses along this maturity?
• Discuss the impact on people. The necessitated level of user ownership is different between on-premises and Cloud applications.
• Has your organization considered the roles required as you progress from data center transformation to application stabilization to supporting hybrid deployments before modernizing your applications?
• How to adopt an ongoing TCO optimization?
