Tag: PeopleSoft in the Cloud

The State of Oklahoma’s Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) is on a path to update its PeopleSoft Financial software to a current PUM while utilizing out of the box features wherever possible. The current environment is a heavily customized, early PUM image of PeopleSoft 9.2. The customizations and infrastructure needs have hindered updates in the past.

However, by understanding the advantages of running PeopleSoft in the Cloud by utilizing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and with a sharp focus on using standard and configurable features, OMES is now on a path to not only update PeopleSoft but also to be in a position to fully utilize all that PeopleSoft has to offer today and well into the future.

During Quest Forum Digital Event: PeopleSoft Week, Ayana Wilkins (Oracle Manager at OMES) joined Craig Oliver (Client Executive at Oracle), Jerry Adams (Enterprise Cloud Architect at Oracle), and Rob Mowid (Regional Director at MIPRO), for a discussion about the plan for OMES to run PeopleSoft on OCI.

With the help of SpearMC and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, First Financial Northwest Bank (FFNWB) migrated their Accounting, Asset Management, and Accounts Payable functions to PeopleSoft FSCM in four months – all with minimal internal resources and no in-house infrastructure.

During Quest Forum Digital Event: Innovation Week, Paco Aubrejuan, Senior Vice President of Oracle Applications, presented a PeopleSoft product update and elaborated on the current strategies for PeopleSoft. He began by reassuring customers that the PeopleSoft team is ready and available to help with COVID-related issues and requirements. He expressed appreciation for the men and women who are on the frontlines during this crisis and acknowledged that their work is extremely important and valued.

As part of Quest Forum Digital Event: PeopleSoft Week, executives from the PeopleSoft team gathered for a panel discussion to answer PeopleSoft customers’ burning questions.

CHALLENGE PRESENTED: FFNWB’s Financial Accounting Solution was not scaling with their needs. It was slow, lacked security and functionality, and left their team powerless to enhance the system or add new features.
