Designed for Power Users, back-office admins
Information dense, lots of fields, data, analytics
The Fluid UI
Designed for Self Service Users
Simplified layouts, fewer fields
Less training needed

Better UI - 3
Cedar’s Recommendations:
This is the PeopleSoft direction for Self Service and mobile, so it’s crucially important.
Developers need some HTML and CSS skills
Don’t try to ‘convert’ classic pages to Fluid. They should be simplified versions for light-touch transactions.
Browser debugging tools are invaluable

Greater Flexibility of Infrastructure
Purchase servers at the start but then stuck with them
Virtualisation only gave some improvements
Cloud vendors give you elasticity of infrastructure
Here’s some idea of the agility that you can gain …

Cloud-style Operations
Use Developer Skills (i.e. coding) and a free automation platform to reduce SysAdmin/DBA effort
Boot/Shut-down non-Prod environments on schedule
Automate refresh of Test environment from Prod
Backups and automated cache-clears available ad-hoc
Proactive Monitoring:
Is the PIA Responsive?
Do I have failed/queued jobs?
Is the Payroll taking longer than usual?

Easier and More Frequent Updates
PeopleSoft Selective Adoption:
The process has changed. No more big upgrades.
The images deliver fixes and new functionality.
You need to plan for this:
the effort to apply the patches,
and how the system will change for the users
If you do nothing, you’ll end up with a big upgrade 3, 4 or 5 years down the line
![Page 37: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Easier and More Frequent Updates - 2
“Always stay current” and “You must apply bundles in sequence”
New functionality every 3 years
Apply patches on your schedule
New functionality every few months
![Page 38: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Easier and More Frequent Updates - 3
“PeopleSoft used to recommend we stay current and apply all maintenance, but we didn’t because it was too difficult.
Now they say we don’t have to, but we do because it’s so easy.”
PeopleSoft Customer Advisory Board
![Page 39: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Easier and More Frequent Updates - 4
Questions:
Can I avoid an upgrade by doing nothing?
The longer you leave it the larger the catch-up effort will be. Leave it too long and it could be as significant as a major upgrade. Avoid this by running a scheduled maintenance program.
What is a ‘get current’ Change Package?
It applies all available but not yet applied patches to bring your system up-to-date.
Will there really never be a v9.3?
It certainly looks that way. Selective Adoption fits much better with the twice yearly updates that cloud vendors enforce.
![Page 40: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Easier and More Frequent Updates - 5
Other tips:
Use the CFO Tool to show the differences between images
Customer must be on a currently supported version of PeopleTools to use Selective Adoption
Some newer functionality may require a certain level and patch of PeopleTools however
Plan for how you will host the images (VirtualBox etc)
PUM has matured and improved since it was first released
If you run on Oracle databases, the Image replaces DMO
Watch out for PRPs and POCs
![Page 41: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Easier and More Frequent Updates - 6
Cedar’s Recommendations:
If you’re not on 9.2, starting planning the upgrade. It’s the last upgrade you’ll have to do
Plan a schedule for applying the update images that suits you, maybe two or three times a year with an annual ‘get current’
Plan a schedule for applying PeopleTools patches, maybe one every 9 months
Consider increasing your usage of PeopleSoft Test Framework, as it’ll reduce the burden testing of the updates

No Upfront Licence Cost
Historically PeopleSoft (and other ERPs) has been sold with an upfront licence fee and an Annual Support fee.
Cedar can offer PeopleSoft as a BPO licence:
No up-front fee
Pay monthly
Even just have BPO for individual modules
You can pay for PeopleSoft like a SaaS product
![Page 50: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What do the Analysts Say?
![Page 51: A PeopleSoft Roadmap](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042522/55a61ee11a28abf2648b462b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
It’s Good to be King
I know many analysts feel sorry for customers who appear trapped in their on-premise cages – PeopleSoft, Siebel, JD Edwards etc.
Actually, they are in the driver’s seat:
a) Oracle keeps supporting them as part of its Apps Unlimited initiative
b) They can move onto the Cloud/IaaS, and use the managed support model if they choose
c) They can “ring fence” their core functionality with cloud extensions like Taleo
d) When they are ready to move more fully into the cloud, they can choose between a number of products
No wonder most of them seem content to stay where they are.

PeopleSoft in the Cloud offers many business benefits
Cost (both upfront and ongoing), Flexibility
Even if you stay on-premise, there are some cloud practices that you can take advantage of
Automation and proactive monitoring, PeopleSoft Progressive Rollout
Administration tasks moved away from HR to Managers and employees
HR freed up for more strategic / business partner initiatives
