Transforming Business driven to Technology driven organizationsDavinder Kohli
Organizations have shifted their thinking from solving customer problems to improving customer experience by leveraging a plethora of the latest technologies at their disposal. What are the challenges faced by organizations moving from being business-driven to being technology-driven? How does an organization achieve this shift when there are multiple business silos driven by their own agendas? Cloud, big data, mobile, and Internet of Things technologies are changing the technical landscape and having an impact on the way business is done. This session provides a multidimensional perspective on how to move an organization from business-driven to technology-driven. It also presents two customer case studies.
Sometimes an inspection can create unwelcome surprises. Don’t get caught out!
CQC published guidance earlier in February on how the 46,000 health and adult social care providers and services across England can meet the Government’s new care regulations. It's important for care home managers and owners to have a clear view of quality factors in real time and any actions needed to improve them - as well as being able to see those actions are being done.
You should consider Assured Compliance to meet your care assurance needs: replacing paper-based audits and quality assurance in all Care settings, from one to hundreds of locations:
• A paperless audit trail to reliably meet CQC requirements;
• Automated reminders, avoiding the need for constant chasing for information;
• Management summaries to highlight areas of non-compliance and trends for concern;
• Bespoke audit questions and response requirements and customer/visitor surveys.
We can have you up and running in a few weeks with a standardised and proven approach without disrupting your workforce. No gimmicks, no vapourware, no hidden costs. See what's really happening from anywhere, anytime and in real-time. Take a look at what some of our customers say.
Geoff Lane, CEO at Regal Care Homes says “This system has enabled us to consistently improve the quality of care for our residents. The simple and rapid implementation process enabled us to deploy the best of our quality management processes and we can adapt the system how and when we need to.”
"With Assured Compliance the implementation process was simple and effective, enabling us to improve our visibility of care quality without needing to change our approach to care." said Helen Hill, Group Quality Director at Healthcare Homes.

16. PeopleSoft Approval Framework-Line Level
Approval
PeopleSoft has moved from the traditional workflow to the Approval
Workflow Engine. Approval Workflow Engine (AWE) also known as
Approval Framework is the framework providing capabilities to create,
run and manage the approval processes within PeopleSoft. When the
user submits a transaction, the application hands the transaction over
to Approval Workflow Engine, which will determine the appropriate
approval process definition and then launch the required routing based
on the steps configured.
Editor's Notes
There was no choice what to take in updates and PeopleSoft bundles (patches/fixes) as it was all or nothing.
Upgrades costly and intensive. Upgrade only possible from version x.1 to x.2. In case of older versions one had to reimplement
PeopleSoft Update Manager provides the tools a customer needs to reduce time, effort, and the cost of PeopleSoft application maintenance. On a regular schedule, PeopleSoft will deliver the most current PeopleSoft applications code and objects in the form of a PeopleSoft Update Image on a Virtual Machine. PeopleSoft Update Manager utilizes familiar tools like Change Assistant and Change Packager and provides a way for customers to select what they want to patch to their environment. With PeopleSoft Update Manager:- Your environment does not have to be current on maintenance.- You can select a single fix and have the system automatically find the needed prerequisites to go with that fix.- You can get the current version on fixes by having the system generate a custom change package that suits the current state of your environment.
Change Assistant provides a wizard to set up the Update Manager environment by defining the source and target databases. From Change Assistant, you can access the Update Master to create a custom change package based on the fixes and enhancements selected by the customer.
Customer changes:
First limited update from 1 object
Second complete update from 1 object
Third limited upgrade of all objects
PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) is a lifecycle management process that is used with the PeopleSoft Update Manager PIA application (PeopleSoft internet architecture), which runs on the PeopleSoft Image database
PeopleSoft Images are Oracle VirtualBox virtual machines that you download locally. There is one PeopleSoft Image per product family (database instance) and they will be released periodically according to the image schedule posted on the PeopleSoft Update Manager Home Page. The PeopleSoft Image is the master source environment from which you will pull the updated objects, create a custom change package, and apply updates to your environment. The PeopleSoft Image for your application is cumulative so you will download the most current PeopleSoft Image and get all of the updates that you need.
The PeopleSoft Update Manager PIA Application and the PeopleSoft Image work together; the PeopleSoft Image contains the updates and the PeopleSoft Update Manager PIA Application is the searching tool and custom change package definition generator. PeopleSoft Change Assistant orchestrates the entire process flow. Change Assistant is the tool used to analyze and compare changes, to apply the changed objects to your environment, to add in your customizations, and to generate custom change packages.

Peoplesoft on premise model had been working for a very long time. It was costly and expensive but no worse that anyother products like SAP
Then saas came along – if you lined up the cost there were some significant differences –some real some perceived.
If you talk to someone about Saas, one of the biggest benefits claimed is that all customers are on the same release. That is true, to an extent. All customers are on the same release, but they are all configured very differently
If you look at PSFT HCM, the most significant thing is that it has created a common release – 9.2 is a common release, it is the release all customers are on and it is the release PeopleSoft is building new enhancements on –
We know the mechanics of it -
Maintenance always came out on the current code line and there were difficlyties applying, but the big issue was that new enhancements were always done on a different codeline and the only thing the customer could do to get them was to undertake a major release
Line-of-business (LOB) owners and Information Technology (IT) managers must recognize the potential benefits that Continuous Delivery provides and change the way they plan, implement, and roll out change to their users. The organization that embraces this change and realizes the new opportunities LOB and IT have in working together will benefit the most.
What every customer must realize is that their business processes around maintenance and upgrades must change in order to gain the most benefit from the PeopleSoft Continuous Delivery model.
Most enhancements in PeopleTools lead to easy of use, for instance image accessibility:
To start PeopleSoft applications in accessibility mode, a new Enable Accessibility Mode check box is now available directly on the sign in page, which enables you to start that session in accessibility mode.
In App designer no loner a limit to the number of characters in edit boxes
PeopleTools 8.54 adds the ability for BI Publisher PDF output to be updated by users and for the updated content to be submitted to PeopleSoft automatically, ca slo be signed digitally and and checked
All change agent activities are controlled by a wizzard
Fluid user interface:
The PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface supports device-side capabilities for mobile devices such as the embedded camera for image uploads. With PeopleTools, application developers can construct modern mobile applications and deploy them in conjunction with the deep functionality of PeopleSoft applications to create a powerful, dynamic experience for users.
New PIA interface (PeopleSoft internet Architecture) takes care of the configuration of PIA objects like AG (activities guide), workcenters
Activity guides
PeopleTools 8.53 introduces activity guides, which allow application developers to define processes that guide users through a series of predefined actions. Activity guides are often used for infrequent self-service events, such as for on-boarding processes or for benefits enrollment in PeopleSoft HCM. Other uses of activity guides include managing a sequence of configuration or troubleshooting tasks.. Similarly, several other PeopleSoft applications will deliver activity guides in Release 9.2 or in upcoming revisions. They are managed by new definitions of ADS (application data sets)
Workcenters
WorkCenters are designed for specific roles and provide a central area for users to access key components. For example, PeopleTools delivers the Integration Network WorkCenter with an activity guide to guide the setup of Integration Broker
As of PeopleTools 8.53, when navigating within a WorkCenter or from a dashboard, the breadcrumbs include the WorkCenter or dashboard link. In addition, the breadcrumbs can also include search text, related actions, and the persistent search icon. Breadcrumbs refer to the collective sequence of items that appear above the content area when you navigate to transaction pages or navigation pages. The breadcrumbs display the path you took to get to where you are—that is, the page you are on.
PeopleTools 8.53 improves the way WorkCenters and dashboards can be designed and used together. Application developers and designers can now deploy WorkCenter dashboards within WorkCenters to provide better decision support for WorkCenter transactions. This capability combines some of the features and benefits of dashboards with WorkCenter pages.
Conditional navigation
Administrators can configure alternate content reference by specifying conditions
Notification framework
nieuw in 8.54 Push Notification is an event framework that enables PeopleSoft server run time to push data directly to PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture browsers. This allows bidirectional full duplex communication between browser clients and server runtime. The feature allows defining individual events or group-related events as collections and provides an API to dispatch events to browser clients. Notification Window uses the push mechanism provided by Push Notification and collates various notifications generated by the system to the window. It categorizes notifications into actions and alerts and allows actions to be performed on the notification items. Approval Workflow Engine (AWE) and Trigger Business Event (TBE) are some of the functional areas that will have their notifications published to the Notification Window.
Pivot grids:
Starting from PeopleTools 8.52, From 8.53 next expansion using the filter drop-down list in the Pivot Grid Viewer page or the Pivot Grid Wizard - Pivot Grid Display page, you are able to select multiple filter values in grids and in charts to filter data on multiple values instead of a single filter value. Works with PSQuery. BI like functionality. Models can als be used on mobile and Component Real-Time Search real time data
PS Query (8.54): PSQuery supports drilling URLs that enable you to navigate to either a PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture page, another query result page, or an external page. These drilling URLs can contain context-sensitive bind values obtained from the query result row.
