| This keynote explores how Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications Unlimited customers can modernize back-office operations with AI and agentic capabilities while continuing to rely on their existing applications as trusted systems of record. It highlights how AI Agents can extend EBS and PeopleSoft to orchestrate work, trigger actions, resolve exceptions, and drive more autonomous, outcome-led operations. The session will also show how Oracle Fusion Cloud provides a natural AI-enabled next step for EBS customers seeking embedded innovation, continuous updates, and a modern SaaS foundation. Opportunities will be explored across finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations, including forecasting, risk and anomaly detection, process optimization, and intelligent automation. | ||

| Room 1 – PeopleSoft PeopleSoft Roadmap – by Alex Kilbey (Oracle) Oracle’s PeopleSoft roadmap reflects continued investment in innovation, modernization, and customer success, enabling organizations to modernize confidently while maximizing their existing investments. This session will cover: * Apps Unlimited commitment to 2037 and the release schedule, including the forthcoming release of PeopleTools 8.63. * Enhancements in user experience, automation, analytics, security, and cloud readiness. * PeopleSoft enables organizations to modernize confidently while maximizing their existing investments. * PeopleTools Generative AI tools to help you deliver solutions to your users, accelerating Natural Language Chatbot Adoption and the new Model Context Protocol. Room 2 – E-Business Suite Oracle EBS, Strategy and Roadmap – by Lukasz Kapielewski (Oracle) This session will review the current EBS roadmap, including Release 12.2.15, latest release of Enterprise Command Centers, Redwood user experience, mobile and HTML-based enhancements, AI-enabled capabilities, and next-generation technology stack direction. Attendees will learn how Oracle is helping customers protect their EBS investment while modernizing processes across finance, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, HCM, and service. The session will provide a practical view of what is available today, what is coming next, and how to plan an EBS strategy with confidence. Room 3 – Cloud “Human+AI: Better together for ERP Transformations“ – by Muthu Muthiah and Methyl Shah (Cognizant) Introduction: AI is increasingly becoming part of everyday work across Oracle Cloud pillars like ERP, HCM, SCM, EPM. Whether it is assisting with transactions in ERP, guiding decisions in SCM, or supporting HR interactions in HCM, the AI capabilities are improving speed and efficiency. Despite this, what we are consistently seeing across programs is that outcomes still depend heavily on human context, judgment, and accountability. In this session, we will share how AI is being applied in real Oracle Cloud implementations not as a bolt on or a stand-alone/separate layer, but embedded directly into Customer’s Business processes, integrations, and user journeys. From AI-assisted design and testing during implementations, to intelligent agents supporting operations post-go-live, the focus is on how these capabilities are augmenting teams rather than replacing them. We will also discuss where human involvement remains critical such as interpreting AI generated results, handling exceptions, and ensuring governance within the overarching ‘Responsible AI Framework’ and how organizations can design their AI adoption with this balance in mind. The intent is to provide a practical view of how to scale AI in connected Oracle environments while keeping humans at the centre of decision making.

| Room 1 – PeopleSoft “PeopleSoft on OCI” – by Graham Smith – Oracle ACE Director Refers to running Oracle PeopleSoft (Finance, HCM, SCM, Campus) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instead of on‑premises or another hyperscaler. What are the pros and cons? Room 2 – E-Business Suite “De brug naar een efficiëntere bedrijfsvoering” – by Marco Blom and Desiree Bouwmans (66Controls) Deze brug wordt gebouwd met universele standaarden zoals Peppol en GS1. Door deze standaarden te gebruiken, stopt een ziekenhuis of een ander bedrijf met het handmatig invoeren en vertalen van data en gaat het over op het direct consumeren van gevalideerde broninformatie. Ons integratieplatform, de Zorgintegrator, vormt hierbij de essentiële schakel tussen de wereld van standaarden en de Oracle-omgeving. De bedrijfsvoering is de zandloper van het ziekenhuis. Een kleine verstopping aan de bovenkant; een foutief artikelnummer, een mislukte ontvangst of een handmatige invoerfout, heeft directe gevolgen onderin de zandloper; het primaire proces. Als de data in de ondersteunende systemen niet klopt, grijpt de chirurg mis op de operatiekamer, verliest de operatieassistent kostbare tijd aan administratieve herstelwerkzaamheden of ontstaan er conflicten met leveranciers. En als je toch bezig bent met digitalisering van de bedrijfsvoering waarom zou je wachten op 2030 om je inkoop en facturatie conform Europese wetgeving in te richten. CZE en 66Controls tonen de praktijk. READ MORE Room 3 – Cloud “Praten met data: hype of de toekomst van ERP?” – by Pam Koertshuis (Gemeente Rotterdam) Hoe maak je complexe financiële en inkoopprocessen eenvoudiger, sneller en gebruiksvriendelijker? In deze sessie delen wij als gemeente hoe we Oracle Fusion inzetten en verrijken met AI. Van chatinterfaces voor eindgebruikers tot AI-agents die ondersteunen bij analyse en beheer. We laten zien hoe we bewegen van traditionele schermen en rapportages naar ‘praten met data’ — en waar de grenzen liggen als het gaat om controle, compliance en betrouwbaarheid. Inclusief onze aanpak rondom privacy, security en digitale soevereiniteit. Room 4 – NetSuite “How to optimize and unlock the full ROI from NetSuite” – by Lori Ciavarella (aBasis) and Marta Obrador (Novutech) *A session with Lori Ciavarella and Novutech, where they share their experience on optimizing NetSuite *Which didn’t require a costly reimplementation – by approaching it from a cost-benefit perspective, meaningful gains are often closer than teams think. | ||
