Running PeopleSoft Portal 8.8? Now Is a Good Time to Upgrade
Extended support for PeopleSoft Portal Solutions has ended, according to the PeopleSoft Technology Blog. What does this mean?
Extended support for PeopleSoft Portal Solutions 8.8 will end in March 2011. This means that Oracle is not obliged to provide development support in the form of new features and fixes to Portal Solutions customers running 8.8 after that time. If you are on an older version, you should consider moving to our current release–9.1. Not only will you continue to receive complete support, but you will benefit from the many enhancements of the new release, including all the Enterprise 2.0 capabilities.
If you are on Oracle’s Sustaining Support, here’s what that level of support entitles you to:
