We've talked a lot lately about the ways you can change PeopleSoft to meet your enterprise requirements while minimizing or eliminating the impact on the life cycle. Those conversations have covered isolating customizations and doing configurations. There is another area that is often overlooked and sometimes even resisted by customers: Personalization. Personalization enables individual end-users to tailor their PeopleSoft user interface to their preferences. They typically...

One of the most popular and powerful aspects of PeopleSoft has always been the ability to customize and configure your applications to meet the unique requirements of your enterprise.  The downside of customization is that those changes were expensive to maintain.  Over the past several years and PeopleTools releases, we have introduced several features to enable you to isolate customizations, thus minimizing the impact and cost of maintaining them.  Such features include Page...

Just as examples, if you've been especially progressive in adopting Chatbots, Kibana, or...

The Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK) products have become important parts of PeopleSoft environments.  Although these are open source products, PeopleSoft customers should get them from us because they contain plug-ins and other features to support security and make them work more effectively in the PeopleSoft ecosystem. Oracle ships the ELK DPKs to make it easy to install these products with Peoplesoft. There have been some questions from customers on how to keep...
