Management Summary

Why should you send any of your PeopleSoft team to this course?  Because if you need them to know how to look after your PeopleSoft system, they need to know how the technology works.  That way they know when, and more importantly when not, to do something. 

If you want to know how to make a machine run more efficiently and reliably you first need to understand how it works.  That it is a guiding principle behind my book and this course.

This is course is not simply about how to configure PeopleSoft with a few quick tips thrown in.  We will look at how the PeopleSoft technology works and how it interacts with the various technologies in your environment, but especially the database.  We will look at what is going on under the covers and teach you how to work this out for yourself so that you can apply to your own environment when you back.  The course goes well beyond anything offered by Oracle University (formerly PeopleSoft Education) or anyone else. 

While the book is recent and covers the current PeopleSoft releases, the course continues to evolve on the basis of more recent experience and on-going research.

Can you risk running your PeopleSoft systems without attending this course?

Who should attend?

Every technician on a PeopleSoft team will get something out of this course, and the team will be more effective because they will understand how the technology binds them together.

• The database is the foundation of the PeopleSoft system and so most of the material is directly relevant to the DBA.  By gaining an understand of how PeopleSoft relates to the database, the DBA will be able to work effectively with the rest of the PeopleSoft team, and deal effectively with database issues within PeopleSoft
• The PeopleSoft administrator, who must look after the Tuxedo application server and the web server will learn how they work, and so will be able to manage them more efficiently.  The Tuxedo material is also available as a separate 1-day seminar.
• PeopleSoft developers will gain a deeper  insight into how the technology works.  When they come to consider how to implement, they will be able to make better informed decisions that will result in better results.

Materials

The seminars comprises a series of structured presentations, as well as a time-tabled open discussion session and several breaks to allow informal discussion.

Paper copies of the presentations will be supplied to the delegates at the start of the seminar in a format large enough to allow easy annotation, but small enough to carry home. Delegates will also receive a complementary copy of PeopleSoft for the Oracle DBA.

These courses can be arranged to be run on customer sites with access to their PeopleSoft systems, in which case there is also the possibility to try out some of the things discussed during the seminar.
