Upcoming Conferences

·         Oracle Open World– September 18 - 22| San Francisco, CA

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. 24)   Quest Q&A PeopleSoft Special Edition
