PeopleTools 8.53 to 8.58 Upgrade Tips for Success

A case study of an intermodal and logistics giant and their PeopleTools upgrade.

For organizations that manage critical and complex tools like PeopleSoft on-premises, version upgrades can be a major headache. Software changes to core systems often have upstream and downstream consequences that can be difficult and expensive to resolve—especially in cases where several versions are skipped in the upgrade. And if the organization has done any in-house customization to the version it has in place, it is possible that all this development work would have to be redone from scratch after a version upgrade. This could delay efficiency gains, cost savings, and revenue opportunities.

Is your organization out of compliance with your current PeopleTools version?
