My earlier blog on CIOs being forced to give cloud options a
serious consideration was followed by how different types of organizations are
reacting to cloud options in the Enterprise applications space (see here). In today’s article, am getting a little
specific to customers with PeopleSoft ERP.
Firstly the message from Oracle is
clear – PeopleSoft has a lot of steam left. Continued technology &
functionality investments in PeopleSoft as a product will only enrich it over
the years to come. In the last Open World, Oracle articulated their “Continuous
Delivery, Flexible Adoption” model to deliver new capabilities 2 to 3 times a
year. This was exemplified by 9 new feature packs already GA for PeopleSoft HCM
v9.2 in 2 years of release. So there will probably not be a version 9.3 ever.
You can download the full presentation of the Open World presentation here. For more details on the module-wise features
and PeopleSoft’s Statement of Direction, check out this article (My Oracle login required). The
feedback SOAIS is getting from PeopleSoft install base customers is they will
want to continue to remain invested in their ERP due to multiple factors. It
will remain a huge challenge for them to completely switch to alternate cloud
solutions in the near term.
