Just under 4,100 people attended Alliance in Seattle, Washington. Oracle presentations focused on Version 9.2 Campus Solutions (just released in December) and PeopleTools 8.55 which provides improvements to the user interface including scaling that changes the presentation of the page depending on the device you are using. There were a few presentations related to the new cloud products and there are a small number of schools who are piloting the cloud development. U of M attendees included staff from Twin Cities and Duluth campuses. Two new Campus Solutions 9.2 terms are “fluid” and “PUM”=Product Update Manager. In CS 9.2 for Student Records there are significant changes anticipated in class search and other service areas targeted for mobile delivery.
At an 8.54 technical session there were a number of campuses commenting on some database response issues that have not yet been resolved by Oracle.
There was a special session for conversations on Competency Based Education, the range of needs on the higher education continuum both in the US and Abroad. The outstanding questions from an Oracle perspective is this fundamental deliverables that are or will be core? Should it be supported and to what level?
