PeopleSoft Industry Days: Beyond the Hype of AI in Government – Navigating Oracle, AI, and You
2025-04-22 11:15 - 12:15
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion designed to cut through the AI buzz and explore what Artificial Intelligence really means for public sector organizations operating within the Oracle ecosystem. This session is built for government professionals who need to balance innovation with compliance, security, and mission-critical service delivery.
Government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels are under increasing pressure to modernize legacy systems, respond faster to citizen needs, and do more with limited budgets. From automating back-office workflows to delivering always-available citizen and constituent support, AI is emerging as a powerful enabler of efficient, secure, and user-centric government.
This panel brings together leading AI and Oracle experts who will share real-world use cases and lessons learned from working with government entities. We’ll explore how agencies are applying AI to improve administrative services, enhance citizen self-service portals, and extend automation — all while staying aligned with regulatory, ethical, and procurement frameworks.
This is not your typical vendor session — it’s a roadmap to help government leaders navigate the promise and pitfalls of AI adoption within Oracle-powered environments.

Navigating Oracle’s AI Update for PeopleSoft - New Paths, Real Opportunities
2025-12-09 09:00 - 10:00
Oracle has announced it will no longer develop new AI use cases for PeopleSoft and will deprioritize its PICASO tool. While this marks a change in direction, it is not the end of AI for PeopleSoft. Instead, Oracle plans to publish technical guidance and build new AI integration anchor points to help customers build their own AI integrations, signaling a shift toward customer-driven or partner-enabled innovation.

This session will explain what Oracle’s update means, why it is actually a step forward, and how organizations can continue to progress with AI in PeopleSoft. We will explore the AI tools that are now available, real-world examples of successful AI deployments, and how to decide between building in-house or working with an expert partner like Gideon Taylor and ABTIO. Whether your organization is just getting started or already experimenting with AI, you will leave this session with practical insights and a clear sense of what to do next.

Troubleshooting PeopleSoft Performance: Five Costly Mistakes and the ‘Mechanic Mindset' That Helps You Fix Them
2026-01-15 11:00 - 12:00
Troubleshooting PeopleSoft Performance:
Five Costly PeopleSoft Mistakes and the ‘Mechanic Mindset’ That Helps You Fix Them

When PeopleSoft performance suffers, users feel it first: slow login times, unresponsive pages, confusing error messages, etc. But when it’s time to troubleshoot, even experienced teams can get lost in the weeds of log files, server layers, and cloudy assumptions about where the problem originates.

This session exposes costly pitfalls: chasing the wrong log, presuming infrastructure is sound, and skipping basics. We’ll emphasize clear user input, architecture awareness, and the discipline to start at the beginning, applying an old-school mechanic’s mindset: check assumptions and test fundamentals. Drawing on years supporting education, government, and corporate environments, we’ll teach you to spot patterns, avoid rabbit holes, and navigate PeopleSoft’s logging.

We’ll apply an old-school problem-solving mindset to a high-tech platform, because systems tend to break in predictable ways. You’ll leave with a practical troubleshooting framework you can use immediately to improve uptime, responsiveness, and your team’s ability to solve the right problems faster.

Attendees will leave with an actionable view of how to move forward with confidence.

Join us to find out how OU and GT leveraged vanilla functionality and a tightly-scoped design to deploy the PeopleSoft Accounts Receivable and Billing modules to the external billing team in just 10 weeks, retiring custom applications and reducing manual effort and technical debt.

We partner with institutions for the long haul, helping them continuously improve, innovate, and adapt as their needs evolve. Our focus is on building strong teams, sharing best practices, and supporting a culture of ongoing transformation. From getting more out of PeopleSoft today, to supporting that future platform shift, Gideon Taylor is here to grow with our customers.

Organizations are under more pressure than ever to deliver better digital experiences with limited resources. That’s driving a shift toward practical, incremental innovation that delivers fast wins and measurable impact without waiting years for change. We’re here to help teams add value and improve systems, with results you’ll see right away!

Why was Alliance the right place for your team to show up this year?

Alliance is where the PeopleSoft and Oracle community comes together to learn, share, and innovate. Hosting our user event GT Ignite as a part of Alliance is our way of supporting that momentum and celebrating the innovative spirit of this community. Transformation begins today, and there’s no better place to start than with HEUG and at Alliance 2026.
