What Oracle Say About The Future of
PeopleSoft
As long as PeopleSoft is still generating cashflow, Oracle has intention to keep it
up and stay competitive with the ERP market.
Last year, Oracle had 100+ new PeopleSoft customers.
PeopleTools & PIA
• PeopleTools is a comprehensive application
development platform with many features
includes standards-based integration, robust
reporting and analytics, security model, UI
features, administrative tools, and lifecycle
management tools.
• PeopleSoft Internet Architecture enables you to
take advantage of all PeopleSoft intranet and
internet solutions, as well as PeopleSoft
integration technologies such as PeopleSoft
Integration Broker.
Mobile Application Platform (MAP)
• Fluid UI or mobile ready application is now available
in PeopleTools 8.54.
• The PeopleSoft Mobile Application Platform enables
developers to build applications that provide a
completely different experience than those built
using traditional PeopleTools components and pages.
Applications built with MAP can include media
queries that allow applications to scale from
smartphones to mini-tablets to full-size tablets and
that adjust the user interface for the device
perspective that is being used. The framework allows
you to develop applications with touch interfaces that
look and operate similarly to native interfaces on
mobile devices. -Oracle
PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM)
• PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) is a new Lifecycle Management process aimed to help
customers stay current on application patching and lower the cost of application maintenance.
It’s only available for PeopleSoft 9.2 applications, so if your PeopleSoft application is currently
not on 9.2 version, you would need to upgrade to utilize this feature.
