EDUCATION HOT TOPICS

07

Journey to the Cloud

There has been lots of

focus on how to migrate

existing workloads and

data centers to the cloud.

But, if you’re only thinking

about current work,

you’re missing a huge

opportunity. Putting your

new work in the cloud has

significant advantages,

but only if you can make

it work with your existing

on-prem environment.

Get a good cross-section

of how to provision, test

and launch in the cloud,

and ways to integrate with

your existing applications

and data.

...if you’re only thinking

about current work, you’re

missing a huge opportunity.




Multi-layered Security Planning

Security is a top concern

for many organizations.

However, many continue

to segment their security

strategy creating silos. Hear

why your organizations

should develop a larger

vision for your organizations’

security strategy and how

to implement it. Learn more

about design strategies

for managing employees,

customers and partners.

Change Management

Any amount of change can

often bring on uncertainty

or resistance from within an

organization. Making an

effective plan for change

management can help.

Learn strategies to help

reduce the amount of

resistance and set your

organizaton up for success.

Visit us today at COLLABORATE-QUEST.COM

for more information.

Emerging Technologies

Every day there’s another news story about IoT,

Blockchain, AI, Machine Learning – a whole host

of new opportunities and new challenges. If you’re

wondering what these technologies mean to your

day, you’re not alone. In these sessions, we’ll help

to dig through the buzzwords and get to a real

definition of how these technologies work, and how

they’re changing your day and your business.

Cloud

Reporting Businesses have such

large data collections,

but they don’t always

know how to utilize

the data that they

have. “Learn how you can start building reports and

get helpful tips and tricks for how to utilize them within

your organization.

Maintenance Now that you’ve implemented Cloud, what’s next?

It’s important to understand how to manage your

new system and take on the maintenance that

comes with it. Learn tips and best practices from other

customers who are keeping their systems up-to-date.

Implementation There are a lot of steps that go into implementing Cloud and

getting a new project started. People can be resistant to

change or hesitant to allocate funds to a new system. Learn

about how to build a business case to present the idea within

your organization, the different options you have with Cloud,

and best practices for successfully getting your project off

the ground.

Adoption Implementation is one thing, but adoption is another. After

you decide on a system to implement, it’s important to boost

morale within your organization and work on different change

management strategies. Learn how to get

your users to take ownership over a project,

become champions of the product and

ultimately have a successful adoption

within your organization.

PeopleSoft

Fluid User Interface In today’s workforce, users are seeking a user interface that is more

modern and accessible. PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface creates a

more intuitive, easy-to-use, mobile user interface. Learn how to get

started with Fluid and what new features are offered to help make

your organization more organized and efficient.

Configuration While there are a lot of useful

delivered features within

PeopleSoft, they don’t always

fit an organization’s specific

needs. However, configuration

is an easy way to personalize

an application without piling

up customizations. Learn how

features like Page Composer,

Page and Field Configurator,

and Activity Guide Composer

allow organizations to

configure applications to

better suit their needs.

PeopleSoft in the Cloud Many people struggle with the decision of whether to stay on-premise

or move their legacy application to the Cloud. Gather information

from customers who have made the move to

learn how and why you should migrate your

PeopleSoft applications into the Cloud.


JD Edwards

UX One Providing a good user experience is crucial to increase productivity,

attract and retain talent, and save time and money. Learn how

UX One can improve the efficiency and experience within your

organization through the “Alert, Analyze, Act” paradigm within the

50+ out-of-the-box roles available for rapid deployment.

Upgrades Upgrades shouldn’t be scary if they are done right. Learn best

practices for how to stay current on JD Edwards like limiting

customizations and integrations, reducing and archiving data,

and implementing effective testing and training.

Orchestrator Many organizations are looking to automate the gathering of

information utilizing the Orchestrator feature within JD Edwards

EnterpriseOne. Learn how to get started with Orchestrator, what it

requires to run and scenarios where Orchestrator can be helpful

within your organization.

JD Edwards in the Cloud Many people struggle with the decision

of whether to stay on-premise or move

their legacy application to the Cloud.

Learn how and why you should migrate

your JD Edwards application into the

Cloud by learning about various migration techniques, how to keep

your data secure, and tips and tricks from customers who have

already made the decision to move their JD Edwards into the Cloud.
