How does it work in 9.0?

As ESUP progresses, many people are interested in what PeopleSoft delivers today. Oracle's User Productivity Kit (UPK) is a tool that will be used to deliver training and "in application support" (the Help button on PeopleSoft pages) in the 9.0 environment. It can be used to create simulations and documentation of PeopleSoft system processes.

Since our current student and human resources systems are highly customized, the University of Minnesota purchased UPK materials illustrating the latest off-the-shelf or "vanilla" PeopleSoft functionality so users and stakeholders can familiarize themselves with its capabilities and limitations. Some, not all, processes have associated UPK materials and the Student UPK materials can be found online as soon as they are available.

Please note: It is important to understand that these UPK materials present delivered functionality only, without further refinement or branding. Although eliminating costly modifications remains a primary objective of ESUP, these materials do not accurately represent what will be implemented at the University of Minnesota.
