Abstract:

Showcase SpearMC’s Segregation of Duties (SOD) Analyzer, a powerful tool designed to enhance your organization’s internal controls within the PeopleSoft environment. Virtually every organization relies on systematic segregation of duties as a key internal control to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure compliance.

While PeopleSoft offers robust tools for designing security pages, permissions, and role access, maintaining effective SOD controls can be challenging as permissions and roles evolve over time. Users may inadvertently gain or retain improper system privileges, undermining your internal control efforts.

SpearMC’s Segregation of Duties Analyzer is a pre-built, bolt-on tool that provides comprehensive analytics related to SOD internal controls. It helps organizations prevent the erosion of desired controls by delivering detailed insights, regardless of how user security access is configured within PeopleSoft.

Abstract:

Does your organization require E-Verify processing for your new hires? Once you have a completed Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification through PeopleSoft Employee Self Service for Section 1, and Manager Self-Service for Section 2, do you have to further verify your employees identity and legal authorization to work in the U.S. by verifying the employee’s Form I-9 information provided and having that compared with records available with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA)?

Come see how you can have an automated and touchless process for verifying your new hires with DHS and SSA once you have your completed Form I-9s for PeopleSoft. Everything is streamlined and automated for the “Happy Path” – Employment Authorized!. You only need to ‘touch’ or interact with the system for the exceptions where the status returned from E-Verify requires further review and actions to be taken.

Finally, we understand one size doesn’t fit all – bring your Form I-9 and E-Verify scenarios / requirements with you – we’ve seen the various scenarios and we can discuss how to automate your Employment Eligibility and Verification process as automated, simplified, and efficient as possible for your organization.

Abstract:

While phishing attacks on self-service users are a significant threat to PeopleSoft environments, the compromise of privileged user and third-party credentials poses the most severe risk.

To make matters worse, most PeopleSoft Admin and IT Teams use shared credentials, which makes investigation of any security incident that much more complicated. It’s these moments when putting a face/name of a person to a specific action is of the utmost importance.

Abstract:

Pre-boarding is the period between offer acceptance and the employee onboarding process, which in PeopleSoft, typically begins when the employee has their employee ID (EMPID). EMPID is typically created closer to the employee’s start date. But, what are you doing in keeping your new hires engaged from offer acceptance throughout the pre-boarding period, especially if that period could be weeks or months?

Come see how you can have a pre-boarding process for your new hires that allow you to define any tasks to be completed, or present any information to the new hire way before Start Date or Day 1 – And, you can do all this without having their employee ID (EMPID) created. Whatever you want to present or collect: Welcome Information, Company Information and Videos, capture Employee Information and Emergency Contacts, complete Payroll and Taxes forms — and Form I-9, review Policies or Company Benefits – you name it, we can present it to the new hire during the pre-boarding period. And, any information that is collected during the pre-boarding period can automatically be updated in the corresponding PeopleSoft tables – by a push of a button, without having you manually enter the information into PeopleSoft! Finally, we understand one size doesn’t fit all – bring your pre-boarding scenarios / requirements with you and we can verify if it can become part of YOUR pre-boarding process!

Abstract:

Doctor Emmett Brown used the GT DeLorean to time travel to 2029 and see your enterprise software future, and be warned, it isn’t pretty!

That AI initiative never quite got from the vision statement to anything real, so everyone is using a hodgepodge of AI tools and limited bots, compromising security and frustrating users. You’re still in the middle of your SaaS implementation, and you stopped improving the PeopleSoft user experience a couple of years before the SaaS project started, so your users are still seeing PeopleSoft screens that haven’t changed since Netflix was on DVDs.

You counted on the SaaS move to optimize your business processes, but just getting on the new platform is sucking up all your funding and willpower, so the processes that started in PDFs, spreadsheets, and emails and got manually entered in PeopleSoft will still start in PDFs, spreadsheets, and emails and get manually entered in your SaaS system – when you finally go live.

Is there a way to escape these bleak outcomes? Join Paul ‘Doc Brown’ Taylor and Scott ‘Marty McFly’ Antin and friends as they use unconventional wisdom, futuristic AI and automation tools, and a flux capacitor to help you win back YOUR enterprise software future. This session will deliver 1.21 gigawatts of insight and fun! (As for the costumes, it is Halloween week, after all…)

Abstract:

For many years, one of the most requested PeopleSoft features has been to give users the ability to delete unwanted Run Controls. The PeopleSoft Run Control Management Framework provides this capability, along with the ability to perform mass updates of groups of Run Controls all at once rather than by updating each one individually. Even though this tool has been available for several years, many organizations have not adopted it.
Come to this session to learn about the capabilities of the Run Control Framework. We will demonstrate how this tool can be used by end users and also show how System Administrators can control the registry to allow this framework to be used even for customized and bolt-on processes.

Abstract:

Chat that answers any question. Single AI interface for any back-end system. Authenticated chat. Persona-specific chat for HCM, Student, and Finance. Chat that returns personalized core system data; chat that starts and finishes core business processes! That’s what we mean by enterprise-grade chat, and that is what Gideon Taylor’s Ida provides.

Multi-level AI means you can define the answers that have to be perfect, and easily inform the generative AI level to respond with accurate information from multiple knowledge sources. The new power-packed Ida Knowledge System means you can launch a powerful, custom-trained bot within a week!
All this from your own private AI tenancy – giving you the most secure AI available.

Come see the future of AI for the enterprise!

Abstract:

Tired of updating withholding paper or pdf forms? Or manually assigning localities for Ohio, Pennsylvania or other state localities?

And, how do you pay employees for their work when they don’t even come to work? In the past 10 years, online withholding forms and remote working have 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.

Presented by:
Scott Antin, Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

The College of the Holy Cross has been brainstorming and building over the past couple of years, stretching the boundaries of how we’re using our PeopleSoft systems. One of our more intriguing projects has been the automation of Language Placement Exams for our students using GT eForms. We created 8 eForms – one for each language the College offers – that administer online placement exams and auto-enroll students in language courses based on their scores. Depending on the student’s particular use case and requirements, the forms include options to administer an exam, have the student respond to questions about their background with a specific language, or upload an essay/video attachment to demonstrate their knowledge of the language.

Regardless of whether you’re using PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, our session will give you some food-for-thought into the kinds of automated solutions you can explore with eForms including performance evaluations, employee and supplier onboarding, and other logic-driven, multi-step processes. Features of our form that we’ll discuss and demo include logic to determine which action(s) to offer the student, a built-in timer that governs the amount of time that the user can interact with the form session, calculation of exam scores based on user responses, email notifications with data results, and automatic updates to PeopleSoft.

A majority of PeopleSoft customers have either considered or are considering moving to the cloud. However, is PeopleSoft really at the point to be considered a cloud native application? Using real world examples, this presentation delves into the most important aspects of cloud native applications and how PeopleSoft stacks up vis a vis each one of those.

Presented by:
Jessica Claeys, Western University Canada

Abstract:

In Western’s ongoing effort to put more power into the hands of our users and expand self-service within our PeopleSoft Finance system, we’ve created and deployed dozens of eForms-based transactions over the past few years. Using Gideon Taylor GT eForms bolt-on, we’ve created PeopleSoft eForms to automate payment requisitions, guest travel requests and reimbursements, delegations of signing authority, department add/edits, customer add/edits, new account creation, and more.

We’ve not only eliminated manual forms and delivered new online services for the University, but have simplified processes, reduced turnaround times, greatly increased auditability, and created some mighty happy users in the process. Join us as we share the results we’ve seen and show-off some of our workflow-enabled eForms that have made our lives a whole lot easier.

Abstract:

The average Enterprise has over 400 applications to manage. In this session we will look at how this expanded footprint is having an impact on the ability to maintain effective security and compliance across these applications. The ability to plug in applications to our core Oracle applications creates a great deal of risk and pressure on IT teams to maintain effective policies.

Presented by:
Sharath chandra Vanam, University of California – UCOP

Abstract:

HCM System generates the accounting lines for payrolls processed and send it to financial systems to load the data into the respective Financial Systems. If a Financial department user wants to update/adjust the Funding/Expense information for already generated Journals, user will use the Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) tool in HCM system. Delivered PeopleSoft does not have a tool to perform the SCT’s with complex requirements needed to adjust the expenses on the Restricted Funds (Federal grants) like NIH (National Institutes of Health) and HHS (Department of Health & Human Services).

As a higher education organization deals with Multiple Contracts & Grants for the salary transactions that are sensible on spending limits and reporting out the information in a timely manner, it could be challenging for the fund administrators and staff to calculate the spending limits accurately. To alleviate the issue an Automated Cost Transfer tool is built which helps users to accurately calculate the Contracts & Grants spending limits. The tool is built on the PeopleSoft/People tools framework.

The presentation will include some of the insights on the pre-requisites and data that are needed to build the tool to do the complex cost transfers, it will explain the type of Salary expenses that can be transferred using this tool, talks about important features implemented to achieve the rules, also mentions generating the accounting data required to send to financial systems. This presentation can provide the data process flow used to achieve the integration between HCM and Financial systems for Salary Cost transfers.

Presented by:
Tom Johnson, Duke University

Abstract:

As a business analyst, have you ever wished you could tweak a page design, and make it into a slightly better fit for your business? Have you ever needed to grey out field access, add in a default value to a field or perhaps make a field disappear altogether? Then this session is for you. PeopleSoft Page and Field Configurator feature enables the users to configure properties of pages and fields of classic pages based on business requirements. It allows business analysts to define multiple configurations for a component based on different user roles or a user list. User can define multiple criteria based on the component fields and selectively apply the configuration at run time if the criteria is satisfied based on the run time values. This session will walk through how Duke University uses Page and Field configurator to augment delivered user security and to enhance functionality for delivered and customized pages. In addition, it will review the setup of the P&FC pages and discuss the delivered roles needed for a BA to complete the setup.

Abstract:

Synergy – the bonus that is achieved when things work together harmoniously.” Mark Twain The 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.

Presented by:
Paul Taylor, Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

One of PeopleSoft’s greatest strengths has always been its flexibility…but that is 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 never quite sure what to expect.

Presented by:
Paul Taylor, Gideon Taylor

Abstract:

Okay that title is a bit clickbait-y, but bear with me here. Innovating in the enterprise space is a lot like gardening. To succeed at using technology in new and creative ways to address your organization’s unique needs, you need to purchase some supplies (allocate some budget), clear some space (in your project calendar), impose some order (standardize your tools and methodologies and prioritize your efforts), and consistently tend it from planting through harvest (launch through production and support).

And where do thorns and death-copters come into the analogy, you ask? Thorns are the prickly distractions, like PUMs and Tools releases and hardware updates and OS patches and year-ends and quarter-ends and semester rushes and holidays, that make it hard to keep your shop afloat, much less innovating. And when a multi-year SaaS re-platforming project (a “digital transformation”) darkens the sky above your humble attempts to make life better for your users, that is like defending tender tomato sprouts against a swarm of napalm-spewing gunships.

In this session we’ll consider the value of growing and maintaining a culture of innovation for your enterprise systems; shifting gears from reactive, where you only address the shoutiest pain points, to a proactive, “center of excellence” approach that searches out use cases for your tech tool portfolio and consistently grows new solutions. We’ll also discuss how to defend that fragile culture of innovation from the thorns and burning whirly-birds of desolation, but you probably expect that by now.

Presented by:
Peter Taichert, City of Albuquerque

Abstract:

Gideon Taylor eForms for PeopleSoft allow functional users to create forms with minimal assistance from technical resources. The City of Albuquerque has used GT eForms since 2022 in both HCM and FSCM. We have created forms to streamline P-card management, initiate employee transfers and request new grant setup. GT eForms allows our functional team to create high quality forms, often with minimal input from our technical team. However, it is complex software with a definite learning curve. Many use cases require heavy technical assistance. For example, we have forms that execute a component interface on Approval. We’ve also had to create views to pull in data from other systems. We really like the product and want to share our experience with other entities. Our presentation targets organizations that have already implemented GT eForms or are in the process of doing so. We will not be demonstrating the product or reviewing the feature set.
The presentation will focus on the factors that allowed our organization to adopt the tool quickly.

• City ERP Team Structure – Implemented to a small, centralized team
• Functional Team Core Skills – Functional team divided by module, comfortable with Query, Approval Workflow and system configuration.
• Cooperative Ethic – Good communication, willingness to share
• Implementation Timing – (JUST) between major projects, able to focus on the training
• Existing Form Catalog – COA had a list of in-house eforms to convert as the training was delivered
• Product Caveats – Expect a learning curve, GT eForms is user friendly but still a development tool
• Migration Tools – Form Transporter does not handle everything! Be nice to your techs.

Presented by:
Jeff Dudas, Sarasota Memorial Health Care System

Abstract:

Like many other healthcare providers, Sarasota Memorial Healthcare (SMH) has had challenges with the business process of tracking “Bill Only” and “Bill and Replace” for implant and other surgical materials where we are billed when the device is used in surgery. Over the years, we’ve developed different processes within different groups, and have developed workarounds and offline process to keep track of all the different nuances in requisitions, purchase orders, receipts, and invoicing.

With the introduction of eProcurement’s “Bill Only” and “Bill and Replace”, we worked with Oracle to understand the new process, and as a result, we’ve re-examined our business process from top to bottom to adapt, streamline, and standardize existing processes to take advantage of the new functionality. We’ll share our how our “Bill Only” and “Bill and Replace” process has changed for the better, how we’ve adapted to “bumps in the road”, and how we’ve benefited from working closely with Oracle on this key business process.

Abstract:

With approximately 45,000 employees across dozens of agencies, the State of Tennessee recently undertook an initiative to reimagine and modernize the user experience of its PeopleSoft HCM system. The results have included a dynamic new employee portal experience, streamlined navigation, workflow-enabled self-service forms, reporting dashboards, and a fully-integrated AI chatbot.

Join us to experience a brand-new vision of what PeopleSoft can deliver to radically improve the experience and productivity of employees and managers. We’ll discuss how the project engaged key stakeholders to provide input on requirements, design ideas, and modeling sessions. This session will demonstrate aspects of the new system including dynamic portal designs that are tailored to the unique requirements of specific departments and roles; an interactive digital assistant that has access to all person, job, and position data to provide personalized assistance to employees (offloading considerable workload from help desk and department personnel); integrated eForms that simplify and streamline employee and manager self-service transactions; and SMS texting that enables quick and easy engagement between recruiters and applicants. Trust us, this isn’t your parents’ PeopleSoft!
