April Conferences:
COLLABORATE
– (Las Vegas, NV)
See pics below. At
the COLLOBORATE conference, Jeremy and I presented the HR Core Roadmap
session “Power of PeopleSoft HR” and attended Meet the Experts. During
the conference I was able to ‘recruit’ more customers for our HR Community,
please welcome SpartanNash and City of Surrey, BC. A special
thanks to our Customers/Partners –Allegis, BART, County of Alameda,
DLA Piper, East Kentucky Power Co-op, Erickson Living, ERPA, Hawaiian Air,
MIPRO, Mutual of Omaha, Omaha Public Power District, Presence of IT, Quest
International, SpearMC, Wells Fargo, WestRock, Weyerhaeuser, WorkSafeBC,
WorkStrategy for sharing their free time to meet with me.
At
COLLOBORATE the big themes I saw customers discussing were:
·
Recruiting –Customers
really liked the new Fluid Candidate Gateway (already 5 customers live with
this feature, more implementing each month)
·
Onboarding – Jeremy
did a live demo of the new Onboarding feature (first time customers have seen
the feature at a conferenceJ)
·
Meet the Expert (customers ask us questions) – Guided Self Service was the hot
topic this year. Customers had questions around position mgmt integration
(already delivered) and what are some of the new enhancements being delivered
for GSS.
PeopleSoft
India SIG
(Bangalore, India) – See pics below.
This is a great forum for the exchange of information between the Oracle
PeopleSoft Team, our customers and our partners. It is an excellent platform to
share customer success stories and experiences
Some very
dynamic and high energy sessions included:
·
The
interactive PeopleSoft design session where groups of participants were given
challenges that they had to try to resolve using PeopleSoft constructs.
·
A
game involving the participants that demonstrated how PeopleSoft became agile
to deliver continuously. Followed by a presentation from HAYS about how
they became agile to consume continuously and developed a ‘Model Office’
concept to help retire customizations and adopt new delivered features.
·
The
fluid momentum is strong . Customers are awed by the things that the PeopleSoft
team continues to deliver. Cloud Manager will see probably see a high uptake in
the coming months.
Customer Corner - I want to highlight the great accomplishments our HR Focus
Group Customers have done this monthJ. If your organization has done something
great (upgraded, deployed fluid/new functionality) please let me know so you can get your
well deserved recognition.
