Not quite ready to make the move to the cloud? Learn how to optimize your current platform to drive better results and prepare for a future move to the cloud. In this session you will hear about the tools we use to optimize your on premise platform, including steps you can take to prepare for a future move to cloud, supported by real-world examples of how organizations are doing it today.

In today’s market, organizations have options on whether/how/when to move to the Cloud. Some are reimplementing to new SaaS solutions; others are optimizing PeopleSoft and lifting their existing ERP/HCM to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure; and others are choosing to integrate Cloud-based solutions with their on-premise PeopleSoft applications. Join us for a panel discussion on factors to consider in evaluating your options and how to get the most value from the direction you choose. We'll share insights to help you navigate the options and the marketplace. How do you engage Oracle? How do you evaluate providers for Cloud services and/or Cloud infrastructure? What are the benefits you should expect? What will your team be responsible for AFTER the migration? We’ll also share best practice on some of the smart things your organization can be doing TODAY so that you’re ready for TOMORROW: Designing Cloud-proofed business processes that can easily move PeopleSoft down either cloud path; Automating manual tasks to help your staff redefine the nature of “work”; Identifying opportunities to reduce and retire third-party systems. Bring your questions and join us for successful strategies that will help you ensure a smooth landing if and when your cloud migration comes, and allow you to keep innovating in the meantime.

Many Cloud adopters decided to take a phased approach to Cloud migration, maintaining a hybrid on-prem and cloud ecosystem to meet their business needs. Now that cloud has expanded to contain more robust, enterprise functionality, the time to move out of a hybrid environment is on the horizon. In order to make this transition smooth, it is essential to assess what data is in each system, how often legacy reports and information are utilized, and where each part of a business process is happening – and fully understand how end-to-end business processes cross applications in the hybrid model. This session will focus on a customer case study of continued Cloud migration and moving towards PeopleSoft retirement, starting with an assessment, and mapping what available functionality in Cloud would meet business needs. We’ll detail the tools and templates used to perform this analysis, and the beginning steps for your own application review to continue on your Cloud journey.

In this session, we will go deep explore the vision, roadmap, and investment strategies for our key innovations with respect to respect to learning, development, and growth. From LMS to LxP to growth in the flow of work and life, our most recent investments and innovations connect people with valuable, hyper-personalized insights, recommendations, and guidance on skill development for mastering their current roles, as well as their ongoing growth potential.

The move to the Cloud is filled with exuberance and challenges as your organization progresses along the Cloud Maturing Model. The wave of digital transformation brings disruptive changes to the organization as well as an opportunity to evaluate process and incorporate efficiency. True transformation succeeds when people themselves transform and adopt to change. This session will reveal what one of the largest fast foods icons had to contemplate as they started their journey and the maturation that ensued. Every role on the organization from technologists to leaders were required to embrace change for them to become “value creators”. What does your organization need to consider as it progresses along this maturity model? Has your organization considered the roles required as you progress from data center transformation to application stabilization, to supporting hybrid deployments before you modernize your applications?

Whether you are preparing to go to the Cloud in a year, five, or ten, this session will discuss ideas and actions to take today to streamline and re-organize your on prem solutions to act more cloud like in preparation for a one day move to cloud solutions. The main focus of topic will be Billing and Accounts Receivable and actions we are taking now to ready ourselves to make a future shift to cloud easier. How we are project by project taking our older style complex billing structure from the on prem solution and making it less complex to fit in a one size fits all world where customizations are not available.

There will be an end of presentation discussion session to allow others who have transitioned to cloud or are in the process of transitioning to provide ideas or tips and tricks they may have used to help or are helping them to transition to cloud.
