Hear about how both the State of North Dakota and the North Dakota University System streamlined their PeopleSoft Automated Testing operations by using PTF and Testing Grounds. Testing a PeopleSoft patch is usually a major undertaking for any organization. However, the State of North Dakota (ND State) and the North Dakota University System (NDUS) had the added complication of maintaining six separate pillars, including Campus Solutions, Financials, Human Capital Management, and Enterprise Learning. Staying current is no easy task, so ND State and NDUS teamed up with SpearMC to implement an automated testing solution that drastically lessened the burden on staff and improved defect identification. We will discuss how we implemented PeopleSoft Test Framework, where our Testing Grounds bolt-on fits into the equation, and how we are supporting their patching moving forward.

Over the past two years, organizations around the world have had to respond to many changes happening in the areas of Human Resources, Learning, Absence Management, and Payroll.  Attend this session to learn how PeopleSoft helps HCM customers navigate the new normal of remote working and the increased focus on employee wellness and creating a culture of inclusion and recognition.  You will also learn about roadmap items that address new employee expectations such as the need for flexible or on demand pay days, frequent check-ins for performance reviews, and tracking new ways employees are learning outside of their organization.

An effective way to leverage emerging technologies to solve some common complex problems which are currently being done manually. A cool way to utilize ML/AI along with Natural Language processing to scan large volumes of text. The primary goal is to identify Keywords and frequency of keywords that relate to diseases using tokenization and Lemmatization models. Opensource Models like FuzzyWuzzy logic and Document Frequency Terms (DFT) were extensively used.
 
Our Business Operations at Kaiser captures long texts and unstructured data for each research subject (about 6000 to 10000 of them a year) that they work on. This unstructured data is captured in long text fields and sometimes runs into multiple pages for each subject. We created models to scan through volumes of texts, identify Keywords using python Spacy models, and have the models predict the area of and type of study.

A customization that notifies end users with Data Integrity changes to the item master for items that are active on a Par, Order Sheet, and within the hospitals warehouse.

PeopleSoft release 9.2 introduced a major change in the way that the system is kept up to date and extended with new functionality. The promise was greatly reduced effort and much more timely updates. Many organizations have not seen the benefits they expected. Mostly, this is driven from a view that PUM updates are mini upgrades, and the Selective Adoption message and process is not coming through. This webinar will focus on the full process of Selective Adoption (of which PUM updates are only a part) and provide strategies that will allow the update process to become more efficient through scheduling, planning, use of automated testing, and development strategies to minimize the impact of customizations. We will include thoughts around governance also. This should provide a strong structure to put in place that will drive down the effort involved in applying updates and will increase your internal users satisfaction with the system.

Today’s business environment presents a myriad of challenges for organizations looking to secure identity, protect sensitive data, and reduce risk from fraud. Between a combination of dynamic (remote) access requirements and complex business processes, it is clear that modern security strategies must simultaneously focus on the application, transaction, and data levels in order to be effective. But in a landscape of disparate solutions, detective controls, and static governance – how can you evolve and modernize your security strategy? What should you truly be focused on?

Join Greg Wendt, Oracle security expert and Executive Director of Security Solutions at Appsian as he breaks down today’s most pressing security challenges and provides best practices for organizations looking to ramp up their multi-layer security strategy – quickly and most effectively.

In this session, you will learn:
– How to identify and mitigate the most common responsibility conflicts that lead to SoD violations
– How to implement and enforce strong controls for data loss prevention in order to prevent overexposure and exfiltration
– How to implement security controls that help comply with IT security audits, SOX, GDPR, and other mandates

In this session we will talk about:
– Kaiser Permanente’s Testing Automation Journey – how it started and where it is now.
– How Kaiser Permanente utilizes Testing Automation during major upgrade projects and how Testing Automation brings in efficiencies by reducing Project Timelines and Cost.
– How Kaiser Permanente built an inhouse solution (Automation Portal) and how this tool helps Testing and Development teams to run Automated Testing Scripts for QA and Unit Testing.
