Gartner: How to Determine Your PeopleSoft Next Steps

Gartner published a report in July of this year about the strategy of PeopleSoft Upgrades. The report gives a couple of recommendations. The most important, in my opinion are:

• PeopleSoft customers with long-term commitments to Oracle Applications should upgrade to version 9.0 or 9.1 (9.1 available in H2Y09)
• PeopleSoft customers should minimize customizations and extentions to their existing PeopleSoft application

When customers are planning a new installation of PeopleSoft, Gartner suggest to implement version 9.0. “Gartner believes that v.9.1 will be released during 2H09, but most customers will not want to be the first to take on a new release. If you need the newest functionality right away (such as compensation management or succession management in HCM), then implement v.9.1 as soon as is practical for your organization. If you don’t need the new functionality, then implement v.9.0 until v.9.1 has more market traction and proof points, which Gartner expects within 12 to 18 months of release.”
