Behind the Clicks: The Tools That Bring GT eForms to Life
Read MoreRead Less
A few examples of what we have built include student request forms, new program/plan creation requests for staff, and test result loading automation. In this presentation, we’ll walk through how the different parts of GT eForms helped us achieve automation, including:
- Configurable CI
- Smart Source
- Query View Builder
- Process Queries
- Augmented Routing
Gone are the PDFs, lost emails and time wasted tracking down requests. Every new process we move into GT eForms is a new way to look at how workflows can become more efficient and easier to use for everyone.

Beyond the API Maze: Cloud and AI Orchestration for a Multi-SaaS Organization
Read MoreRead Less
Scott looks at cloud and AI orchestration as the alternative. Ida.Next runs as an agentic decision engine in a private cloud tenancy, connecting once to each back-end system through APIs, MCP servers, or direct integrations, then reasoning across those connections to answer questions, chain multi-step requests, and complete transactions in real time, with no data copied or staged in advance. Every connection inherits the source system’s own security model rather than a shared service account, and sensitive data is redacted before it reaches an AI model. eFlow extends the same orchestration layer into structured workflows and forms, normalizing raw REST APIs into reusable, business-analyst-friendly data sources.
The session walks through the underlying architecture and shows, with live examples, how one orchestration layer cuts the number of integrations an IT team has to build and maintain, and shortens the path through every future system change.

Student Expense Claims with GT eForms in FSCM – Bonus Sneak Peek at Insights Dashboard!
Read MoreRead Less
At Western University, moving from paper to electronic claim forms during COVID solved many challenges and streamlined processing. But no good deed goes unpunished: because students weren’t able to access PeopleSoft Financials (FSCM) where reimbursements are processed, the burden shifted to administrators to submit claims for them. Our solution was to provide limited FSCM access to empower students to submit their own expense claims, paid by direct deposit to their Student Center bank account – no cheques or FSCM vendor profile setups required!
Bonus: We’ll also showcase our PeopleSoft Insights dashboard developed in partnership with Gideon Taylor, which provides administrators with real-time visibility into student (and guest) expense claims. With dynamic visualizations, the dashboard tracks total active forms, forms grouped by approver and cost center, completed forms over time to highlight peak periods, and form summary details that are filtered automatically as you explore the data and drill into visualizations, boosting efficiency and transparency for administrators.
