PeopleSoft's Innovation Pace Creates Update Anxiety

PUM Updates bring breakthrough capabilities—and sleepless nights wondering what might break in your production environment.

PUM & CPU Update Complexity

Oracle delivers 3 PUM images annually plus quarterly Critical Patch Updates. Each PUM contains 150+ feature updates requiring selective adoption decisions. Without expert guidance, customizations break and critical fixes get missed.

Customization Conflict Risk

Your PeopleCode modifications, bolt-ons, and integrations face risk with every PUM. Our analysis shows 37% of organizations struggle with customization conflicts—turning a 2-week update window into months of remediation.

PeopleSoft Expertise Shortage

PeopleSoft administrators now command $175-200K salaries—if you can find them. With PeopleTools 8.62 and Fluid development requirements, most organizations lack the specialized skills for safe PUM adoption.
