Keeping PeopleSoft users trained, up to date, and following the same processes can feel like a never-ending game of catch-up. New features roll out, policies change, and processes evolve, but traditional training can’t keep up. Oracle Guided Learning (OGL) flips the script by delivering step-by-step guidance and timely reminders right inside PeopleSoft, exactly when and where users need it. No more forgotten steps, outdated PDFs, or “How do I do this again?” messages. OGL turns the system itself into the trainer. In this session, you’ll see OGL in action through real-world customer stories. We’ll show how organizations are using it to reinforce policies, guide complex or occasional tasks, and ensure every user is on the same page, literally in the same clicks. You’ll also learn just how easy it is to create custom guides for your own business needs, giving your workforce in-the-moment training and support that scales effortlessly.

This presentation will provide an overview of the automated security provisioning and de-provisioning process at the University of Calgary, known as PSAR (PeopleSoft Access Request). I will walk through how PSAR streamlines the user access lifecycle by handling complex employee relationships and integrating security approval workflows. This automation reduces manual effort, enhances audit readiness, and minimizes access-related risks. Attendees will learn about the key components of PSAR and how it supports compliance with role-based access control policies. PSAR is built using native PeopleSoft capabilities, primarily the Approval Workflow Engine, with some custom development work and no third-party integrations. It is created within the PeopleSoft HCM application to leverage reporting-to relationships and to handle cases where staff hold multiple jobs, ensuring the correct security is applied to each job. The custom work includes SQL definitions that identify current active jobs, upcoming jobs, and job transfers, add or remove roles, signals for refresh scripts to lock or unlock users in non-prod environments and provision the appropriate security in PROD and NON-PROD environments. This session will benefit PeopleSoft administrators, security analysts, functional leads, and audit/compliance stakeholders involved in managing or overseeing user access. By the end of the presentation, attendees will understand how PSAR can enhance operational efficiency, increase visibility into access changes, enforce consistent security policies across the ERP system, and support ongoing compliance with audit requirements.

Easy customization is a PeopleSoft strength. PeopleSoft’s modification options have evolved over nearly 30 years. So has the modify / avoid modifications debate. Carefully implemented and well organized modifications can be a bonus to your organization. They satisfy business requirements and can be easy for your IT staff to maintain. But not all modifications are equal. Some methods are better than others. Traditional solutions can (and sometimes should) be avoided.

PeopleSoft provides excellent tools for Healthcare organizations to replenish Par Inventory. Through the use of the Inventory, Mobile Inventory, and Purchasing modules, PeopleSoft can replenish Par Inventory accurately and efficiently to planned inventory levels. Where PeopleSoft falls short is proving tools to assist organizations in setting the correct Replenishment Parameters for Par Inventory. PeopleSoft provides no system calculations for setting Optimal Order Quantity, Fixed Order Quantity, or Maximum Quantity. There is an Average Usage calculation, but it is not suitable for most organizations. In this session, we will explore how PeopleSoft can be enhanced to provide tools to assist in calculating proper Par Replenishment parameters and to automate the update of Par Location definitions based on these calculations. Additionally, we will look at how bolt-on Advanced Planning applications can be used to account for trending usage over time, seasonal variations, and one-time unique events.
