Upcoming Conferences
If
you have never been, I recommend going at least once – OOW is exciting,
educational and overwhelming. Oracle has the best customer
appreciation party –Billy Joel is headlining this year’s event.
RECONNECT
Conference was held
in July outside of Chicago, IL – this is a PeopleSoft only conference hosted by
Quest (see pics below). I wasn’t able to attend, the feedback I got from
customers, Quest and co-workers on the themes of the conference were:
·
Majority
of customers are on 9.2 and Tools 8.54/8.55
- Selective
adoption is more than just keeping your technology current. It also
involves developing a strategy for adding functionality to improve your
business processes.
- PeopleSoft
Cloud Architecture components make it easier than ever to deploy updates
and manage systems -- regardless of whether you are running PeopleSoft HCM
in the cloud or on premise.
·
Customers
really enjoyed being able to learning a new feature so they could implement for
their end users.
This Special Edition of Quest Q&A magazine focuses
only on PeopleSoft. It is also extra ‘special’ because Core
HR is a feature story. Please check out what is happening in the
world of PeopleSoft HR (pg.
