Some are reimplementing to new SaaS solutions; others are optimizing PeopleSoft and lifting their existing ERP/HCM to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure; and others are choosing to integrate Cloud-based solutions with their on-premise PeopleSoft applications.\n\n\nPeopleSoft in the Cloud: Building a Bridge to What’s Next\n103240\nMay 9\, 11:30AM\nPaul Taylor\n\nIt doesn’t take an “Oracle” with a crystal ball to tell you that the Cloud is in your future.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Digital Transformation - Chapter 1: “Everyone is Doing It” and Other Bad Reasons for Cloud Moves
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nWhen starting a digital transformation\, it is best to know why you’re doing it. Is moving to the Cloud a means to an end\, or an end in itself? Are you trying to impact the bottom line\, improve the user experience\, or both? As the industry learns real-world lessons about re-platforming in the Cloud era\, you’d better have your priorities straight. \nThis session will take a hopefully sober\, and likely sobering look at how a SaaS project affects users and finances. Moving to the cloud will definitely change user experience and functionality – probably in both positive and negative ways. Cloud moves always change cost structures – but don’t automatically reduce cost. \nYour priorities should dictate the timing of your Cloud move\, and well-informed decisions may contradict herd mentality. You may find it worthwhile to invest in dramatically improving your PeopleSoft user experience today while you are preparing for your Cloud move. Sorry if we’re the first to tell you this\, but SaaS won’t magically make everything better. \nWarning: Sacred cows (and conventional wisdom) are not safe in this session! We will question the consensus meaning of “digital transformation” and propose a more challenging definition; we’ll take a clear-eyed look at the negative impacts you can expect from a SaaS move\, and steps you can take to mitigate them. You might end up wanting to rethink your whole enterprise project calendar. What\, did you think this was going to be easy?

SUMMARY:Accelerating PeopleSoft Innovation in Higher Ed - Top Schools Share Their Success Stories
DESCRIPTION:How have schools like UC Berkeley\, RIT\, and NDUS implemented high impact eForms projects? How did they address custom needs when all are saying “go vanilla”? \nAll three schools hit this out of the park with eForms projects. Learn first-hand how they did it! \n \nThis webinar will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn how a diverse group of Higher Ed technology leaders and administrators built and implemented multiple\, highly successful eForms projects. Whether you are in the middle of a digital transformation or are contemplating when and how to begin\, this will be a unique and results-focused conversation you won’t want to miss. \nHighlights: \no Learn how an 11-campus system in North Dakota (NDUS) built and published over 120 new eForms in just one year.\no Hear first-hand how Rochester Institute of Technology rebuilt their most complicated form (Leave of Absence/Withdrawal) and transformed their entire user experience.\no Discover how UC Berkeley has eliminated over 250\,000 paper forms (approximately 500\,000 pieces of paper) in just two years by implementing a wide range of eForms. \nWhen done right\, eForms have the potential to improve and optimize a broad range of Higher Ed processes and initiatives\, from simple to complex. Whether replacing a simple PDF to creating a full-featured custom application\, careful planning and robust engagement with experienced partners are key. We look forward to sharing and helping you navigate a successful eForms endeavor. \nHost: \nScott Antin – VP of Business Development at Gideon Taylor \nGuest panelists: \nAndrea Lloyd – Senior Systems Analyst at UC Berkeley\nSara Narveson – Application Analyst at North Dakota University System\nDee Muir – Business Analyst at North Dakota University System\nMatt DeMayo – Senior Associate Registrar at Rochester Institute of Technology

SUMMARY:Language Placement eForms Help in Correct Course Placement for Students
DESCRIPTION:Trisha Chuplis\, Academic Relationship Manager and Chuck Thayer\, ERP Systems Specialist for Students at The College of the Holy Cross built 8 language placements eForms\, one for each language the college offers.  The eForms will be used by all students to determine their correct placement for a specific language course\, which is a prerequisite for graduation. \nThe forms varied in requirements and could include the student having to take an exam\, answering questions about their background with a specific language\, or uploading an essay/video attachment to demonstrate their knowledge of the language. \nIn a desire to automate this manual process and due to the sunsetting of the application used for their current placement exams\, The College of the Holy Cross undertook this challenge as their very first GT eForm build.  Their demo will highlight the Spanish Placement eForm\, which is the most used language on campus. The Spanish Placement eForm features an exam page that could be required based on the student’s previous knowledge of the language.  We will also explore the use of: \n\nLogic to place via questionnaire or open form for student to take the placement exam.\nAn exam timer visible on the form page which counts down the student of the time limit to complete the exam and forces submission after the time limit expires.\nCalculation of the exam score based on the student’s current answers.\nUse of code to place a student in a course based on the Test Scores ranges set up in PeopleSoft.\nAutomated process of notifying the registrar of the prerequisite courses to assign to the student.\n\nWebinar will be recorded and sent to all who register.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Digital Transformation – Chapter 1: “Everyone is Doing it” and Other Bad Reasons for Cloud Moves
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Digital Transformation – Chapter 1: “Everyone is Doing it” and Other Bad Reasons for Cloud Moves\nWhen starting a digital transformation\, it is best to know why you’re doing it. Is moving to the Cloud a means to an end\, or an end in itself? Are you trying to impact the bottom line\, improve the user experience\, or both? As the industry learns real-world lessons about re-platforming in the Cloud era\, you’d better have your priorities straight. \nJoin us for this insight-packed webinar with Gideon Taylor CEO Paul Taylor. Thursday\, July 18th @ 12PM CDT. \n \nThis session will take a hopefully sober\, and likely sobering look at how a SaaS project affects users and finances. Moving to the cloud will definitely change user experience and functionality – probably in both positive and negative ways. Cloud moves always change cost structures – but don’t automatically reduce cost. \nYour priorities should dictate the timing of your Cloud move\, and well-informed decisions may contradict herd mentality. You may find it worthwhile to invest in dramatically improving your PeopleSoft user experience today while you are preparing for your Cloud move. Sorry if we’re the first to tell you this\, but SaaS won’t magically make everything better. \nWarning: Sacred cows (and conventional wisdom) are not safe in this session! We will question the consensus meaning of “digital transformation” and propose a more challenging definition; we’ll take a clear-eyed look at the negative impacts you can expect from a SaaS move\, and steps you can take to mitigate them. You might end up wanting to rethink your whole enterprise project calendar. What\, did you think this was going to be easy?

SUMMARY:Rethinking Digital Transformation\, Chapter 2: Unintended Consequences of SaaS Migrations
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Digital Transformation\, Chapter 2: Unintended Consequences of SaaS Migrations \nAttention PeopleSoft users! Are you considering a SaaS migration? As the saying goes\, what you don’t know CAN hurt you. Join us for this new webinar full of proven ways to avoid unwanted surprises.  \nJoin us for this insight-packed webinar with Gideon Taylor CEO Paul Taylor. Thursday\, August 15th @ 12PM CDT. \n \nOne of PeopleSoft’s greatest strengths has always been its flexibility\, but that’s also one of its greatest challenges. If you’re contemplating the move to a SaaS solution\, how do you shift from the unlimited (and sometimes uncontrolled) flexibility of PeopleSoft to cookie-cutter rigidity? What do you lose and gain along the way? \nJoin us for Paul Taylor’s theoretical (and often entertaining) musings of “what might be”. How do you address business requirements that aren’t delivered within the base product? Does “SaaS” always equal “up to date” and “best practice”? How do you manage user expectations…and how do you tell them “No”? Perhaps most crucially – when is the right time to move to SaaS? \nPaul will explore benefits and challenges both obvious and unseen. DISCLAIMER: We hope you’re curious about what he has to say\, because we’re never quite sure what to expect.
