Interesting PS Roadshow / Exec Dinner Snippets May 4, 2017

We recently held the annual PeopleSoft Roadshow and Executive Dinner (summary here) and I wanted to highlight a couple of observations that I think are important enough to be revisited:
Fantastic UI
While Marc was demoing some new functionality it struck me how big a stride the PeopleSoft UI has taken over the last few years.
If you’d shown me this picture a few years ago I’d have refused to believe that it was PeopleSoft. Very few applications can boast a UI as attractive as this.
Selective Adoption is being Aggressively Adopted
Julie Alonso showed this slide, detailing how many customers are really making the most of Selective Adoption.
You might need to click these to see full-size, but let me highlight the key point. The right-hand pie-chart shows that 31% of customers are ‘staying current’ – i.e. doing a get current 4 times a year! A further 25% are getting current twice a year. So more than half of customers are getting current at least twice annually. I think this is really tremendous take-up of the benefits of Selective Adoption – and the PeopleSoft team must be delighted. I had fully expected most customers to lapse into an annual update.
