Hello Fellow PeopleSoft Users-

It’s the month of November and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you for listening to the podcast, contributing to the PeopleSoft community, and generously sharing your expertise. PeopleSoft is the backbone of many organizations that touch and transform lives every day—we are committed to supporting both the product and the incredible community behind it.

This season of gratitude reminds us of the impact happening within our own organizations. Throughout November, Samaritan’s Purse collects gift-filled shoeboxes through Operation Christmas Child which are sent to children in need around the world. The shoeboxes bring joy, hope, and the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease across the globe. We’re grateful for all those who partner to share God’s love in this tangible way.

We are equally inspired by the mission of the Milton Hershey School—to nurture and educate children in social and financial need, helping them reach their fullest potential as healthy, productive, and responsible adults. We extend special gratitude to our dedicated Milton Hershey houseparents, who create safe, loving homes and provide daily care for every student. It is a privilege to provide PeopleSoft support to organizations whose work genuinely transforms lives.

We’re also grateful for the many PeopleSoft community members and Oracle Product Strategy experts who continue to enrich our conversations on the podcast by sharing their knowledge and insights.

In this episode we’re excited and thankful to welcome yet another expert guest: Tina Thames, Director of PeopleSoft Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) Product Strategy where she’ll explore a powerful new enhancement in Asset Management—the ability to scan asset codes with your mobile device camera.

In the spirit of giving, we want to share several resources discussed in this episode—tools designed to support your organization’s PeopleSoft journey. We hope you’ll explore and benefit from them:

Thank you again for being a vital part of this community. We are grateful for you!
