Baylor University has diversified its journey experience to give applicants, employees, retirees, and those leaving the organization a customized step-by-step iterative process designed for their success. Learning how to evolve and customize the Oracle Journey experience for full-time/part-time employees, interns, retires, and separating employee is only half the battle.

Over the years, we have heard that Oracle Cloud Applications (Fusion Apps) are closed, and there is no possible way of customizing them. Many organizations with unique business processes have been hesitant to adopt a SaaS solution because of these constraints. In this session, we will demonstrate how you can extend your SaaS solution and some of the best practices for executing it. We’ll start with Oracle itself, which has built many extensions such as AI & ML for multiple modules, pre-built Digital Assistants, out-of-the-box integrations with Warehouse Management and other products, and even integrations with Fusion Applications Warehouse (FAW), which provides a new set of analytics capabilities for your Oracle Cloud Apps.

While the ability to update your ERP, HCM, and SCM systems regularly and easily is one of the best things about Oracle Cloud, the quarterly updates can still pose challenges. Your IT and business user teams need to test the changes to understand what will happen once the updates occur and prevent any trouble. Historically, most of that testing is done manually—it’s time-consuming, expensive, ripe for human errors, and difficult to be truly comprehensive.

This is where automated testing makes all the difference. This presentation will walk the attendees through the concept of automated testing, a typical quarterly update process executed efficiently, the benefits, the detailed documentation output, and how automation can free IT and business users to work on higher-value innovations and the business.

Join this lively conversation with a panel of Oracle Cloud HCM customers years after their migration from Oracle On-premises human resource solutions. Customers will share experiences of their Cloud HCM implementation, note the greatest changes they had to make, and describe the benefits they realized.

An overview of our HCM Cloud Talent suite -- a look at Recrruiting, Performance, Succession, as well as Learning, Skills, Opportunity Marketplace and how Oracle Grow can change the game in how a worker experiences and leverages them all) was you thinking about aligning your now to a future move to cloud.

The advancement of technology is becoming as inevitable as death and taxes. Aging infrastructure and systems can often leave organizations stuck in the mud as their competition moves forward. As a result, most Oracle JDE customers are all faced with, and at least considering, the move to cloud applications. When, how, what applications, and whether they should be making the move to cloud applications at all, are top of mind to for many IT executives and business functional leaders. Many customers have adopted a functional approach where a point solution is migrated to cloud applications and integrated back to the legacy application. One of the most common of these functional areas has been in Human Capital Management (HCM). In this session, we will provide a comparative analysis between Oracle HCM Cloud and JDE HCM solutions.

Oracle launched ME last April to great analyst praise and awards and in turn looked to their partners to showcase how this could extend the value of Oracle HCM for their joint customers. Inoapps took up the challenge and were declared a winner at Oracle Cloud World with their My Contractor Experience use case. In this presentation they will explain what ME offers and show how they took a common set of challenges and addressed with this versatile offering.

In this session, we will take a deeper dive into the vision, roadmap, and investment strategies for our key innovations with respect to Recruiting, Talent, Learning -- as well as what you should know about the latest innovations that utilize those core foundational areas (such as Dynamic Skills, Grow, and ME) -- and some new innovations as well (such as Touchpoints and Communicate)? that can have a huge impact on your people strategies, programs, and initiatives.

We have all heard about these hot topics. In this session we discuss how the world of work is evolving as a marketplace. AND the positive impact this can and should have on an organization's access to talent -- recruiting/internal mobility/succession planning -- as well as for the employee's themselves (career progression, mobility, agility, and experience).
