PeopleTools provides a powerful set of capabilities to create an engaging, efficient, and intuitive user experience, and this session will show how to make the most of them. The University of California recently completed a transformative project that fully leveraged delivered PeopleTools features and Gideon Taylor’s WebUX techniques to personalize content based on each employee’s role, responsibilities, and circumstances. No additional system layer was required, just thoughtful design, optimized configuration, and a focus on minimizing clicks while maximizing usability. This initiative not only elevated the user experience but also simplified the technical environment. By consolidating functionality and streamlining the interface, the team was able to retire legacy systems, resulting in measurable savings in operating costs and maintenance. In just a few months, the project demonstrated how a PeopleTools environment can deliver a sleek, app-like interface while staying true to delivered features. If you want to see how to unlock the full potential of PeopleTools UX, this session is for you.
