OpenWorld 2015 Tuesday

Today in the PeopleSoft stream of this massive Oracle OpenWorld conference the key messages have been

1. FLUID:  All applications being built going forward will be built using Fluid technology.  It is the primary UI.  It's not just a mobile technology.  It is the PeopleSoft UI now. Classic, of course will still be available and supported.

2. SEARCH:  In response to concerns over the future of Oracle SES the announcement today is that Elastic Search will be available to use sometime in 2016. https://www.elastic.co

No PeopleSoft SaaS

3. CLOUD:  Oracle are NOT investing in a PeopleSoft SaaS offering.  However, tools and features are being added to PeopleSoft in order to make it much easier to manage in a private or public cloud environment.

Cloud "enable" PeopleSoft

  • Fluid Dashboards
