On the PeopleSoft side, this week features highly practical how-tos and leadership pieces, showing how to modernize the stack and the culture at the same time.

đŹ Aaronâs Take
The center of gravity is moving: AI is becoming the control plane for enterprise systems. Oracleâs AI World lineup (universal credits, 26AI, AI Agent Marketplace) points to an ecosystem where data, models, and apps behave like composable services.
For PeopleSoft teams, the playbook is clear:
Keep sharpening integration skills (JSON, REST).
Bring analytics to the surface with Insights.
Prepare your footprint (and your culture) for trusted automation.
ERP isnât just transactional anymore; itâs anticipatory.
