  3. Program Agenda • PeopleSoft Maintenance and the Need for Change • Identifying Maintenance in My Oracle Support • Lifecycle Management PeopleTools • Q & A

  4. PeopleSoft Maintenance and the Need for Change

  5. The Need for Change Getting higher value at the lowest possible cost • Bundles and Maintenance packs are approaching the size and impact of application upgrades. • Making it cost-prohibitive to stay current on maintenance • Customers have been asking for more selective capabilities in order to reduce this cost

  6. The Need for Change Continuous delivery mechanism for high-value capabilities • Historically, customers had to upgrade to a new release in order to get new features, which was too expense to do on regular basis • We introduced Feature Packs in order to provide new functionality sooner, at a lower cost without having to do a full application upgrade • Feedback was that applying Features Packs was still too expensive because of the maintenance dependencies. Must be current to take a Feature Pack

  7. Delivering Change How is “Classic” Application Maintenance Delivered? • “Classic” – The “Rolling” Code line • Multiple Choices for how to Apply Maintenance • Get to the same point from different paths • May need to sequentially apply 2 MPs or 4 Bundles to get current, each with manual-stops steps and separate analysis Feature Pack Maintenance Pack Bundle 1 Bundle 2 Bundle 3 Bundle 4 Individual Postings

  8. Enabling Change PeopleSoft Update Manager Allows for Effective Delivery of Changes Next release is a roll up of previously delivered capabilities with new PeopleSoft Images. Oracle delivers, PeopleSoft Images every ~10 weeks containing maintenance and new capabilities. R2 single code line Incremental customer upgrade. R1 Customer periodically selects maintenance and/or new capabilities via PeopleSoft Images. • Only Selected Changes • Cumulative

PeopleSoft Direction Continuously Delivery High Value Capabilities PeopleSoft 9.2 PeopleSoft 9.3 PeopleSoft 9.4 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 PeopleSoft Images, containing maintenance and new PeopleSoft 9.2 capabilities. PeopleSoft Images, containing maintenance and new PeopleSoft 9.3 capabilities. • Ongoing Delivery of Off-Cycle Capabilities • Regular, Roll-Up Major Releases
