Oracle furthers PeopleSoft technologies

Following its acquisition of PeopleSoft Oracle has been on a non-stop drive to develop and prepare the application for the future.

This week Oracle announced it was preparing PeopleSoft to give more to higher education customers to help prepare them to better meet student, faculty and staff needs. Available now is the Continuous Delivery Model for PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions. Oracle plans to deliver periodic application Feature Packs for PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions when available. The Feature Packs are designed to enable institutions to access and implement new functionality to meet immediate needs while migrating gradually to the infrastructure they need to leverage newer, more robust and flexible technologies.

Reducing costs or maximising the productivity and use of existing applications is paramount to prevent financial waste. Furthermore, when updating these systems, more often than not an in-house team will take the business offline. Due to the sheer requirement to maintain operations for continuity purposes, utilizing an outsourced consultancy will ensure implementations are made without effecting day-to-day business operations.
