Australia - New Zealand (ANZ)

Dear ANZ Higher Education members

Oracle made two major announcements at the HEUG Alliance Conference today.

Campus Solutions 9.2

• Campus Solutions 9.2 will be released in 2015.  This is described as a “roll-up” a roll-up of all new functionality – including 21 major new features and 48 significant enhancements – delivered since the release of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9.0 through the Continuous Delivery Model.
• The significance of the 9.2 release is that it brings Campus Solutions in line with the other PeopleSoft 9.2 product lines (HR, Finance etc.) that are now also on a Continuous Delivery Model.  It also provides the option of the new simplified user interface and usage of the new “PeopleSoft Update Manager” toolset aimed at reducing patching and upgrade complexity and effort.

Oracle Student Cloud

• This is the development of a completely new student management system built upon Fusion Applications.  The first phase, supporting core capabilities of enrolment, payment and assessment, will be delivered in 2015. 
• Oracle will also be adding higher-education specific functionality into the Oracle Human HCM Cloud and Oracle ERP (Finance) Cloud and integration with Student Cloud.

No doubt we will hear more information on these two announcements at the ANZ Mini-HEUG in May.

Further details are in the Oracle Press Release.

Some early analysis is also provided in another article.

Thanks Tony

Very interesting. I recall at the Executive Forum at the main HEUG late last year being told the current process of MP's in Campus and point version upgrades in HRP were to continue for the future. A change of heart has occurred in a short time period, but make sense to be consistent.

Hi Tony

...re your email below in March, do we have any more information on Campus Solutions 9.2? From what I can recall , the Mini HEUG in May did not reveal much more than "sometime (maybe) in Q3/Q4 2015 and we have yet to confirm what pre-requisite bundle / tools version you have to be on". We are planning our 2015 programme of projects. We originally had a CS9 upgrade planned for 2015 but if 9.2 is not till the end of 2015, we might do a interim bundle upgrade instead. We are currently on Bundle 27, Tools 8.52.

Dear Russell

The information from Oracle is Bundle 34 and the version of Tools will be whatever the minimum requirement for Campus Solutions is at the time. The upgrade process itself will install the current version of PeopleTools so it will depend on when CS9.2 is available. However the PeopleTools features depends on the timing of the release.
