It’s More Than Just a Series of Mini-Upgrades!
PeopleSoft Selective Adoption will be a hot topic at the upcoming Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco from October 25th-October 29th. While a significant number of customers have moved to PeopleSoft 9.2, a lot of them are still struggling to define their strategy for Selective Adoption. Many of the customers I’ve spoken with have not applied an image since completing the upgrade and their strategy going forward is to move to the latest image every year or two. The reason? They feel their end-users are too busy to evaluate the new features and functionality delivered in an image. The problem? Customers are missing out on one of the most significant changes in Oracle’s delivery model – the ability to introduce new features and functionality into your business processes faster and more efficiently than in the past. With Selective Adoption, customers now have the ability to pick and choose new enhancements that can significantly add business value without having to wait on the next major release or an upgrade of the entire system. The customers who take the time to understand this delivery model, are willing to embrace it, and align their organization to adopt the change will be the ones to achieve the maximum benefit from their software investment.
MIPRO will be at Oracle OpenWorld participating on Marc Weintraub’s panel: Real-World Experiences with PeopleSoft Selective Adoption, Monday, October 26th at 1:30pm, Moscone West – 3016 and co-presenting with our customer Susan G. Komen: Leveraging PeopleSoft Selective Adoption at Susan G. Komen on Monday, October 26th at 2:45pm, Moscone West – 3016. We hope you will be able to join us for these presentations. In addition, MIPRO consulting offers a focused 1-day Selective Adoption workshop designed to help you understand the delivery model, build your strategy and align your organization to maximize its value.
Don’t get left behind in an old mind set of fixes, bundles, maintenance packs, service packs, and full system upgrades. MIPRO is here to help you embrace the change and accelerate your organization’s adoption for greater business value.
