The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin’s (CHW) outdated PeopleSoft application posed significant risks and was requiring more and more budget to maintain. Thanks to a quick, affordable lift-and-shift upgrade to PeopleSoft on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), CHW has saved time, lowered the total cost of ownership, and reduced risk, all while transforming their IT organization from a cost center to a value provider.

CHALLENGE PRESENTED: CHW’s aging infrastructure lacked a Disaster Recovery solution and was no longer actively supported with vendor upgrades, patches, and technical support. These gaps resulted in security vulnerabilities, software incompatibility, and compliance issues, poor performance and reliability, as well as rising support costs.

PROPOSED SOLUTION: SpearMC helped CHW upgrade their legacy, server-based PeopleSoft application to a more modern solution hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).                  

HOW WE HELPED CHW SUCCEED:
-Provided on-site employee training on OCI, PeopleSoft Cloud Manager, OCI Maintenance, PeopleSoft Update Manager, PeopleSoft Integration Tools, plus important considerations and best practices
-Performed a lift-and-shift to PeopleSoft OCI for upgraded functionality with minimal business impact
-Built a library of automated test scripts using the PeopleSoft Test Framework for fast future updates

In 9.2 applications, the concept of Selective Adoption is introduced with regards to how maintenance is applied to the system.  One of the challenges to taking advantage of this adoption method is if your system has customizations to the delivered objects.  This presentation is designed to show you how you can utilize new functionalities in the latest versions of PeopleTools which provide alternatives to performing those customizations to your PeopleSoft system. We will focus on the top ways to use delivered functionality to meet your business requirements WITHOUT customization to the system.

Ever feel that you're so snowed under with PeopleSoft transactions that you can't see the forest for the trees? PeopleSoft has some powerful tools available that can give you the big picture, letting you focus your attention where it is most needed. When those tools let you drill down from insight-heavy graphics to taking action on specific transactions, you have the power to master your workload. BYU has been investing in these visual tools, and we'll demonstrate them in this session.

BYU partnered with Gideon Taylor to create a pivot grid-based tool that helps users see what's happening across thousands of eForm transactions. Related Actions let users drill into the transactions themselves, send emails to participants, and leverage administrative tools, all conditioned on user security.

Gideon Taylor will also review other visualization tools available in PeopleSoft, including Simplified Analytics, Fluid Dashboards, Oracle JET, and Kibana.

Come see what you've been missing!
