This session demonstrates how organizations can deploy a local AI assistant on top of their existing PeopleSoft database — no cloud APIs, no data leaving the building, no changes to PeopleSoft itself. Attendees will see a working system that lets finance, supply chain, HR, and IT support teams ask natural-language questions ('What's our AP aging?', 'Show me overdue POs by vendor', 'How does the matching process work?') and receive governed, auditable answers drawn directly from their own PeopleSoft data through read-only Oracle views. We cover the four-path architecture — governed financial data, expert knowledge cards encoding decades of PeopleSoft implementation experience, PeopleBooks RAG for documentation lookup, and general knowledge — and show how each path is isolated so financial data never mixes with AI-generated content. The session includes a live demo across AR, AP, GL, Inventory, Purchasing, Cost Management, Asset Management, and HR modules running on NVIDIA DGX Spark hardware with a local 32-billion-parameter model. PeopleSoft administrators, functional analysts, IT directors, and CIOs will benefit from this session — particularly those in regulated industries (utilities, healthcare, shipping, government) where data sovereignty and audit traceability are non-negotiable. Attendees will learn how to architect governed views that enforce business unit isolation and read-only access, how to build a nine-layer compliance framework (OWASP, NIST AI RMF, SOX, SOC 2, GDPR) with 103 automated tests, and how to deliver AI-assisted reporting without the security and compliance risks of sending ERP data to external AI services. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or evaluating how to protect your PeopleSoft investment while modernizing the user experience, this session provides a practical, field-tested blueprint.

With PeopleTools 8.63 on the roadmap, PeopleSoft teams have an opportunity to look beyond a traditional tools upgrade and start planning for a more modern operating model. In this session, we will discuss what PeopleSoft customers should be thinking about as they prepare for PeopleTools 8.63. The discussion will cover expected areas of investment, including AI enablement, lifecycle management, search, containers, deployment planning, environment strategy, testing, security, and operational readiness. We will also talk through practical upgrade considerations, including how to assess your current PeopleTools level, review infrastructure dependencies, plan environment refreshes, align with PUM strategy, and reduce risk before the upgrade window begins. This session is designed for teams that want a practical view of what is coming, what to prepare for, and how to turn a PeopleTools upgrade into a modernization step rather than a technical maintenance exercise.

PeopleSoft Selective Adoption gives customers a more flexible way to stay current, apply maintenance, and adopt new capabilities without waiting for a traditional major application upgrade. The opportunity is significant, but the model only works well when organizations treat it as a managed program, not a periodic technical task. In this session, we will walk through a practical approach to PeopleSoft Selective Adoption using PeopleSoft Update Manager, Change Assistant, image analysis, impact review, testing, and release planning. The discussion will cover how to evaluate PUM images, prioritize regulatory fixes and business value, manage customizations, plan retrofit activities, align with PeopleTools upgrades, and build a repeatable cadence for applying updates. Attendees will also hear practical lessons on governance, environment planning, stakeholder engagement, testing strategy, defect triage, production cutover, and post-release stabilization. The goal is to help PeopleSoft teams move from reactive maintenance to a predictable Selective Adoption model that reduces risk, improves system currency, and delivers usable value back to the business.

Dartmouth Health (DH) provides many services on behalf of other member affiliates, many of which are business units within their PeopleSoft System.  DH was taking advantage of some interunit functionality as well as some system billing via Contracts.  However, many of the intercompany transactions still required manual work and the settling of cash between the units using invoices and items in Accounts Receivable became increasingly time consulting and subject to human error.  DH embarked on an optimization project to better automate and expedite the processing of interunit charges.  Come learn about their requirements, solutions considered, and the approach chosen as well as implementation lessons learned.

Changing an organization's fiscal year is far more than a calendar update—it impacts financial reporting, budgeting, grants, projects, payroll interfaces, accounting periods, and business operations across the enterprise.

PeopleSoft environments accumulate decades of customizations across PeopleCode, Application Engine, COBOL payroll programs, SQR reports, Oracle PL/SQL, and security configurations, yet no single tool provides complete visibility across the entire technology stack. Impact analysis for a single field change can take days, onboarding new developers can take months, and critical knowledge is often undocumented or siloed. This session introduces PeopleSoft AI Studio, an offline-first AI-powered analysis platform that transforms a PeopleSoft codebase into a searchable knowledge engine. Attendees will learn how the platform parses PeopleSoft metadata, COBOL, SQR, Oracle PL/SQL, and security structures into high-performance indexes and uses AI to answer natural language questions, perform impact analysis, generate technical documentation, and trace business processes across multiple layers of the application stack. The session will cover the platform's architecture, five-layer coverage model, precision-context retrieval strategy, and real-world lessons learned, including demonstrations of how complex PeopleSoft customizations can be analyzed in seconds instead of days.

After years of planning, multiple attempts, a very successful proof-of-concept effort and finally securing funding, the State of Indiana has completed a lift-and-shift of 20+ PeopleSoft environments from the local legacy data center into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This accelerated, seven-month project required significant architectural decisions, a review and update of all interfaces and extensions and a mammoth testing effort. We will tell the story of our project plan, decisions along the way and obstacles that threatened our successful move of PeopleSoft to OCI with the hope that our experience is helpful if a PeopleSoft lift-and-shift to OCI is the right next step in your organization's cloud journey.

In order to provide better flexibility and resilience, while reducing overall costs, SNCF migrated its PeopleSoft ecosystem to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in 2020. Years after that, they are reaping still the benefits of this transformation. More recently, they replaced their complex reporting architecture (ODS, Data Warehouse, Data Marts, ETL, Business Intelligence) by connecting Oracle Analytics Cloud directly on their PeopleSoft ERP. This gives users access to live real-time date and also provided a significant cost reduction.

Every PeopleSoft team is being asked some version of the same question right now: can an AI agent help us run this environment? Mythics built one and pointed it at performance triage to find out. This session walks through four real incidents, including a GL batch runtime drift the agent traced to a specific change request, a recurring PIA slowdown it could only partially explain, and a payroll calculation anomaly where a permissive instruction set produced a confident root cause that named specific employees with no evidence behind it. Same incident, same data, a different instruction set, and the answer became 'cannot determine from available evidence.' That difference is the whole ballgame, and it is a design decision, not a model capability. The larger finding was that the agent was rarely the constraint. The environment was. Investigations stalled on missing per-step Application Engine timing, per-handler Integration Broker thread accounting, row-level auditing that was never configured on payroll setup records, AWR retention capped at the default eight days, and change records scattered across tickets rather than tied to a timeline. Attendees will leave with the specific read access an investigating agent needs in PeopleSoft, a prioritized list of the telemetry gaps to close before an agent is worth deploying along with rough effort and cost for each, and a concrete look at how instruction design separates an agent that admits uncertainty from one that confabulates convincingly. No product pitch and no roadmap speculation, just what worked, what did not, and what has to be true in your environment first.

This session explores how AO can work alongside delivered PeopleSoft functionality to identify hidden eligibility issues, enrollment anomalies, and payroll deduction errors before they impact employees or require costly corrections. Attendees will learn how AI pattern recognition can analyze historical enrollment, eligibility outcomes and payroll results to surface inconsistencies that traditional rules, queries, and reports often miss. The session focuses on realistic, low-risk AI use cases that enhance - rather than replace - PeopleSoft Benefits and Payroll processes.

Advanced PS Query is one of the most powerful tools in PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, yet many functional analysts use only a fraction of its capabilities. When delivered functionality doesn't fully meet business needs, knowing how to translate a business problem into an effective query can make all the difference. In this session, the University of Houston System will share a real-world case study in which the absence of a Department of Education Pell awarding chart left the institution without a delivered method to validate Pell awards. Rather than relying on custom development, we applied a structured, functional approach to identify business requirements, locate the appropriate PeopleSoft records and relationships, and build an advanced PS Query that accurately validated student awards. More importantly, this session is not just about Pell. Attendees will learn a repeatable framework for transforming business requirements into advanced PS Queries that can be applied across Campus Solutions. We'll discuss techniques for identifying the right data, interpreting business rules, selecting appropriate query methods, and validating results to create meaningful reports that solve real operational challenges. Whether you support Financial Aid, Student Records, Student Financials, Admissions, or another functional area, you'll leave with practical strategies for building advanced queries that extend delivered functionality and increase confidence in your reporting.

Landing Pages are PeopleSoft's modern single-homepage experience for HCM users. But if you're not on PUM 53, you don't get Oracle's delivered content out of the box. The good news: you don't need to wait! In this session, learn techniques to build, style, and deploy custom Landing Page content on any PUM image, using techniques that survive your next upgrade instead of getting wiped out by it. Whether you're extending PUM 53's delivered content or building your HCM Landing Page from scratch, you'll leave with practical, upgrade-safe patterns you can implement immediately.

PeopleSoft is too often treated as a legacy application to be maintained, patched, and defended. This session reframes it as a platform — a stable, strategic core that can be extended, integrated, and built around rather than boxed in. We begin with the shift from an application mindset to a platform mindset, where value moves from features to capabilities, and APIs, events, and services turn ERP into part of a broader ecosystem. From there we examine hybrid ERP architecture and why cloud without strategy fails: lift-and-shift relocates the same problems, increases cost without efficiency, and leaves cloud-native capability on the table. Integration, not customization, emerges as the real modernization layer. The second half turns practical. We walk the build-provision-configure toolchain — Packer for repeatable base images, Terraform for infrastructure as code, Chef for role-based runtime configuration of web, app, process scheduler, and Integration Broker tiers — so environments can be rebuilt instead of repaired. We then cover the operational model this demands: the shift from administrator to platform engineer, a DevSecOps posture, observability that moves teams from logs to metrics to insights and from reactive firefighting to proactive operations, and security treated as architecture rather than a set of controls. The session closes with common anti-patterns to avoid, a staged roadmap, and a clear thesis: the future isn't replacing PeopleSoft — it's building around it.

The PeopleSoft Academic Structure is the foundation of every student lifecycle process, influencing admissions, enrollment, records, financial aid, reporting, and system integrations. This session provides a practical overview of the key components of Academic Structure, including institutions, academic careers, programs, plans, subplans, terms, and organizations, while demonstrating how they work together to support business processes across the institution. Participants will gain a better understanding of configuration best practices, common design challenges, and the downstream impact of structural decisions. Whether you are new to Campus Solutions or looking to strengthen your technical knowledge, this session will help you build a solid foundation for effective system administration.

Do your students (undergrads, graduate students, residents, post docs, or fellows) struggle to get reimbursed for conference travel, memberships, or supplies? Are administrators bogged down filling out claim forms on their behalf? At Western University, moving from paper to electronic claim forms during COVID solved many challenges and streamlined processing. But no good deed goes unpunished: because students weren’t able to access PeopleSoft Financials (FSCM) where reimbursements are processed, the burden shifted to administrators to submit claims for them. Our solution was to provide limited FSCM access to empower students to submit their own expense claims, paid by direct deposit to their Student Center bank account – no cheques or FSCM vendor profile setups required!
