At the PeopleSoft general session on 2nd October at Oracle OpenWorld, Paco Aubrejuan, Senior Vice President, recognized the first of many PeopleSoft Innovators. The PeopleSoft Innovators showcase what is possible with today’s PeopleSoft and so it is fantastic to see some notable HEUG members and vendor partners recognised. These members are “taking advantage of the latest capabilities and technologies to transform their businesses and their IT practices while delighting their end users.”
