Generative AI is the buzzword of the moment—but what can it actually do in a real “day in the life”? In a classic Dilbert cartoon, when asked for a business requirement to design a system, Dilbert replies, “We need a system to define requirements.” Today, that same question applies to AI: everyone says GenAI can do everything—but what can it really do for me?

Most organisations focus on upgrading or extending JD Edwards — but overlook the platform that ultimately determines its performance, cost, and resilience. In this session, Steltix introduces Digital Powertrain Engineering — a proven approach to optimising the platform that powers JD Edwards, without changing the application itself. Across multiple customer environments, this approach has delivered: •30–40% infrastructure compression •40–50% run cost reduction where optimisation levers exist •5–10× faster batch processing windows •Material improvements in responsiveness and stability under load We will share where this has been applied, what challenges were addressed, and the measurable outcomes achieved across different JD Edwards estates (on-premises, cloud, and hybrid). Attendees will gain insight into: •Why the platform layer is the most overlooked driver of JD Edwards performance •The impact of engineering the environment correctly — on cost, speed, and reliability •Common characteristics of high-performing JD Edwards estates •Real-world results from organisations that have taken this approach This is not about replacing JD Edwards — it is about engineering the platform that powers it.

ERPs such as JD Edwards and PeopleSoft produce vast amounts of operational data, yet architectural constraints and siloed access limit its usability by modern AI and agentic frameworks. This gap prevents organizations from moving beyond static reporting to AI-driven insights and intelligent, automated decision-making. This session explores how bringing AI directly to enterprise data—leveraging Oracle AI Data Platform and OCI Generative AI models —can unlock the full value of ERP systems. Using modern AI techniques such as vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and large language models (LLMs), organizations can enable secure, natural-language access to ERP data while preserving existing JD Edwards and PeopleSoft investments. The presentation will walk through practical reference architectures built on OCI, including the use of the Oracle 26 AI Lakehouse to unify structured ERP data and unstructured enterprise content for AI-driven analytics and automation. Real-world use cases will demonstrate AI-assisted ERP reporting, contextual knowledge discovery, and NLP-enhanced workflows that reduce manual effort and accelerate decision-making. In addition, the session will outline best practices for enterprise-grade security, data governance, model lifecycle management, and the design of AI agents using agentic frameworks to orchestrate multi-step ERP interactions. The session will also offer a forward-looking view into emerging patterns such as agent-to-agent collaboration, highlighting how coordinated, multi-agent workflows can further extend ERP automation while keeping data close to its source. It will also cover scalable deployment patterns on OCI. Attendees will leave with actionable architectural patterns and implementation strategies to deliver AI-led business outcomes using their existing Oracle ERP data assets.

As organizations open up their PeopleSoft environments to modern integrations, securing REST APIs is more important than ever. In this session, Oracle experts will provide an in-depth look at the Application Services Framework (ASF) in PeopleSoft, with a focus on best practices for securing REST APIs using OAuth 2.0. We’ll cover the fundamentals of ASF for exposing OpenAPI-standard REST services, and walk through practical steps to implement OAuth 2.0 authentication and authorization for your integrations. The session will also highlight PeopleSoft’s support for the three main OAuth 2.0 Grant Types and discuss specific use cases for integrating with external applications. Learn how to establish trust between external applications and PeopleSoft, mitigate security risks, and ensure compliant access to your enterprise data.
