Delivering Customer Success Through Managed Services & Strategic Staffing
2026-05-21 11:00 - 12:00 | Online Webinar
In this Lunch & Learn session, we’ll walk through how organizations are using a combination of managed services and strategic staffing to keep their PeopleSoft environments stable while still making room for meaningful change.
We’ll share customer examples from organizations like the University of Oklahoma, Wakefern, BYU, and Southern Methodist University—and others—illustrating how layered support models paired with on-demand specialized resources have helped teams reduce project backlogs, address skill gaps, and maintain continuity during transitions, without sacrificing flexibility or blowing up costs. We’ll also look at how this hybrid approach has supported more significant initiatives like cloud migrations and system upgrades, where having the right people available at the right time made a tangible difference.
Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how to align support models with their organization’s goals and a practical sense of what a sustainable IT service delivery model can look like.
This session is ideal for organizations evaluating their current support structure or looking for smarter ways to resource critical projects.

How to Apply PeopleSoft PUM Images and CPUs with Minimal Downtime, More Confidence, and Greater Peace of Mind
2026-06-18 11:00 - 12:00 | Webinar
Staying current with PeopleSoft PUM images and Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) is essential, but limited resources, too many environments, and too little time make it hard. Without a clear plan, updates can cause downtime, missed features, and risk.
This session shares tactics to streamline your updates: manage change packages, structure testing, and safely minimize downtime. Drawing on years of experience across hundreds of environments—including complex efforts with a dozen+ PUMs—we’ll share a refined playbook that delivers updates as fast as 30 minutes, averaging about 4 hours.
You’ll leave with an adaptable framework to reduce risk, shorten windows, and keep teams current without burnout—plus practical tools you can apply immediately, whether you’re handling quarterly updates or simply want a better process.

Top 10 AI Questions You’re NOT Asking
2026-07-16 11:00 - 12:00 | Webinar
AI projects don’t fail because of bad technology — they fail because nobody asked the right questions upfront.
Join Gideon Taylor’s AI Practice Lead, Andrew Bediz, for a no-fluff session covering the questions most organizations skip: where your data actually goes when AI runs, what “integration” really costs, why year-three looks nothing like year-one, and how to avoid getting locked into a vendor as the market keeps shifting.
Come ready to think differently about how your organization is adopting AI — and leave with the questions that actually matter.

Modernizing the PeopleSoft Developer Experience with Open Source Tools
2026-07-22 12:00 - 13:00 | Online Webinar
PeopleSoft has powered enterprise software for decades, and developer expectations across the broader software industry have evolved alongside it. This session will cover a few open source projects that help improve the developer experience, improving productivity, and effectiveness.
AppRefiner augments Application Designer with modern IDE capabilities: real-time type checking, intelligent autocompletion, refactoring, and code linting.
DMS Viewer lets you view, compare, and edit data directly from Data Mover export (DAT) files.
Trace Wizard makes PeopleTools appserver and Application Engine trace files easier to read and analyze.
Attendees will leave with a practical toolkit they can adopt immediately to catch errors earlier and spend less time fighting their tools.
Presented by Tim Slater, Lead Software Engineer, AI and UX Department at Gideon Taylor.

Build Rich Content Experiences Inside PeopleSoft — No Developers Required
2026-09-17 11:00 - 12:00 | Webinar
PeopleSoft surfaces data well. But policies, guides, announcements, and knowledge bases? Those end up in SharePoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or worse, email threads nobody can find.
Gideon Taylor’s PageBuilder has solved this for years, letting teams build rich content experiences directly inside PeopleSoft. In 2026, we made it accessible to everyone. PageBuilder Studio brings a simple, visual editor so any business user can build and manage pages without touching a line of code.
What you’ll see:

Landing pages, knowledge bases, and content hubs built inside PeopleSoft in minutes
Alerts, announcements, and self-service mega menus your users will find effortless
A delivered widget library, plus support for custom templates and widgets
Role-aware, security-conscious content with no IT bottleneck

Pure bolt-on. Any PeopleSoft application. No customization, no new servers, no data sync.
