Evolving User Experience by Embracing Mobile

Official Release on newswire.

What is True Responsiveness?

Designed to intelligently move functionality based on available real estate, transforming the user experience.

What is True Responsiveness? Your employees and constituents expect to be able to do everything on their mobile device that they would on their desktop without compromising functionality: finding a contact, applying for a job, reviewing their pay stub, enrolling in a class, enrolling in benefits, or make a payment.

Read on to see examples of true responsiveness in action.

iPhone in portrait view vs. iPad

Let’s look at the weekly class schedule in Campus Solutions on two form factors: iPhone in portrait view vs. iPad.

In the header bar the “Week of” identification moves below on the mobile device because there isn’t enough real estate. On the iPad it extends across the page based on the same logic.

In the example above, the real estate allows for 2 columns of the class schedule on the iPhone while displaying 4 columns on tablet. Responsiveness design is not dependent on device type and instead flows intelligently based on available real estate.

Indicator dots appear when the entire week is not visible. The reason for this is because responsive design is not about making content smaller to fit on a page, but instead, to rearrange it and present it in a useful manner to the end user.

In both of these examples the action buttons are fixed to the bottom of the screen, and visible at all times, to minimize vertical scrolling.

As you’ll notice, new device size doesn’t matter because breakpoints move fluidly based on the content.

iPhone vs. Desktop

This is how the desktop view changes based upon available real estate on a desktop computer.

As the screen becomes larger, you are able to see more at one time so the action buttons are relocated to the bottom right hand side of the screen. Additionally, in the desktop view, the navigation is expanded

The “Week of” identification reflows based on real estate.

The hamburger menu is collapsed when there is lesser real estate, but ever present when there is more space.

The action buttons are fixed to the bottom of the screen to minimize vertical scrolling on smaller devices.

Indicator dots appear when the entire week is not visible. With larger views the entire week is visible and therefore the indicator dots and arrows are not present.

Bringing back the submenu navigation

True responsiveness is not stripping out functionality for smaller form factors.

For example, earlier versions of our Campus Solutions user experience eliminated the navigation tabs that are present throughout PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to save real estate.

Due to feedback from our customers, we reintroduced this functionality in a way that moved it out of the way but made it available when desired.

Google changed its logo today – what does it mean?

Today, Google changed its logo to better represent its presence on platforms other than desktop PC’s — where people initially interacted with Google’s software.  This is just another step in its acknowledgement that people are increasingly using mobile devices as their primary computing device. Take the following support posting that encourages people to make sure their sites are mobile friendly (and that Google will be adjusting its ranking based on this).

Google’s perspective on its logo change is an interesting read.  Check it out here.

CarolinaGo Mobile App Single Day Downloads Hit 2,000

According to Kate Hash, Manager of ITS Communications at UNC Chapel Hill, “Up until Friday, our largest download month had been 600 downloads of the app. On Friday alone, we had 2,000. It is clear that ConnectCarolina is adding a value to the app and that the students are now discovering the app because they want to use ConnectCarolina.”

PeopleSoft and the Future of ERP

In this two-part series, GreyHeller founders and former, early PeopleSoft Technical Strategists, Larry Grey and Chris Heller will discuss ERP trends and how they affect PeopleSoft customers. Part I will discuss Gartner’s recently published 2015 Strategic Road Map for Postmodern ERP and how the opportunities and challenges affect PeopleSoft customers.  Part II will be a demo-intensive session showing how GreyHeller customers are meeting these challenges today.

Part I
July 15  •   11am PST

According to Gartner, Monolithic ERP solutions are being deconstructed into postmodern ERP that will result in a more federated, loosely coupled ERP environment with much of the functionality sourced as cloud services or via business process outsourcers.  This direction is driven by a need to support strategic, organization-wide functionality that is more flexible, secure, integrated, and modern.

Where does this leave you as a PeopleSoft customer?  Do you need to replace PeopleSoft to achieve the architecture and benefits to drive your organization in the future, or do you have an option to leverage it along with other cloud-based solutions?

This session will answer these questions as well as describe how PeopleSoft can be part of a hybrid approach to utilizing PeopleSoft and the cloud:

• Where PeopleSoft fits
• Integration considerations, including data and security
• User experience modernization
• Lifecycle Management and compliance
• Control over functionality and infrastructure 

Part II
July 29   •   11am PST

This session will discuss how GreyHeller customers are utilizing our technology today to utilize PeopleSoft effectively in their postmodern ERP roadmap.  This demo-intensive session will include customer case studies and product demonstrations that illustrate how to flexibly and safely retain your PeopleSoft investment by evolving its role from being a monolithic application to a key component of your hybrid ERP architecture.

• Security:  how to protect your most sensitive data and processes in an ever-evolving cybercrime landscape

• Identity Management:  how to leverage multiple identity providers for your different constituents — Candidates, Vendors, Employees using solutions such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Azure, and on-premise resources

• User Experience:  how to provide a seamless solution that is modern, looks consistent across cloud and on-premise components, and is easy to use

• Flexibility:  how to evolve the functionality you deploy rapidly

• Lifecycle Management:  how to keep up with new updates (driven by regulatory or business value requirements) while keeping a low TCO

• Integration:  how to control all of the integrations between each of the component

GreyHeller Annual ERP Upgrade Survey Results

At GreyHeller we speak with hundreds of ERP systems customers every year across all industries. Because we develop and license enterprise-class software products that modernize and secure PeopleSoft, we work closely with them on whether they should stay with their current, older system or migrate to a newer, more modern ERP system.

In order to help ERP customers understand what their peers are doing, we surveyed over 12,000 ERP customers – across all major platforms – about their degree of customization as well as their plans to upgrade.

• 75% of survey respondents have moderately or highly customized their ERP systems
• 57% of survey respondents have no plans to upgrade their ERP systems in the next 2 years or ever

ERP systems are designed to suit a broad range of industries. The 75% with moderately or highly customized ERP systems built those customizations to specifically address their unique requirements with the key benefits being efficiency/cost savings, competitive advantage, user adoption and security against cyber crime. Considering that an average ERP implementation costs over $7 million, takes nearly 17 months to complete and delivers less than 50% of expected benefits (Panorama Consulting), it makes total sense that 57% have no plans to upgrade their systems in the next 2 years, or ever.

Let’s consider this: according to Cedar Crestone’s 2013-14 HR Systems survey, the #1 reason organizations switch to a modern ERP system is to improve user experience.

Let’s also consider this: according to FBI Director James Comey, there are 2 types of organizations in the US – those that have been breached and those that don’t know they’ve been breached.

Eureka! If the 75% could modernize and secure while maintaining their customizations, and the 57% could offer their users a more modern, secure user experience, organizations could avoid costly migrations to new ERP platforms and eliminate the risk of a failed or underwhelming project…would that not be the most desirable outcome?

We think so.

Of course, our software does exactly that. We focus on modernizing and securing PeopleSoft. We help PeopleSoft ERP customers deliver a richer, more modern user experience while protecting their PeopleSoft assets from cyber crime. Our customers save millions of dollars by not replacing PeopleSoft. Their users are happy. Their customizations remain intact. Cyber criminals are thwarted from stealing sensitive data.

GreyHeller and Modo Labs Announce Partnership to Create Powerful Mobile Solutions for Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Customers

Mobile software experts team with engagement platform provider to support mobile experience for Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions

San Ramon, CA and Cambridge, MA – March 17, 2015. Modo Labs, Inc., provider of a leading mobile engagement platform for universities and enterprises that empowers both technical and non-technical staff to quickly create mobile campus apps, and GreyHeller, a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) and fast-growing provider of mobile software solutions, today announced a partnership that enhances the mobile experience for users of Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. Both companies are exhibiting at Alliance 2015 (Modo Labs booth #230/GreyHeller booth #200) in Nashville, TN.

As universities and companies work to meet the needs of the new mobile majority it is critical for organizations to provide mobile solutions that meet their expectations. To improve engagement and productivity, next generation mobile apps need to provide a comprehensive, content-rich and actionable experience. Yet it has been extremely difficult for organizations to achieve their mobile vision without creating multiple apps, often resulting in siloed, less than satisfactory user experiences.

With this new partnership, a unified mobile user experience across the spectrum of University information systems is now easily within reach of any institution. Modo Labs provides a mobile engagement framework, the Kurogo™ Platform, in which either technical or non-technical staff can quickly implement and deploy mobile app experiences for any purpose and for any type of mobile user – whether for new student orientation, an alumni reunion, a faculty conference, or virtual admissions tour. Through its PeopleMobile® solution, GreyHeller mobilizes the entire stack of Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications and adapts to customizations and bundles with a powerful mobile-first approach that students, parents, faculty and staff can all take advantage of, no matter where they happen to be.

Taken together, Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions features can now be easily embedded as part of a single mobile campus solution, combining information systems and campus activities and enabling an improved user experience.

“The partnership provides a new level of functionality previously unattainable,” said Andrew Yu, Founder and CTO at Modo Labs. “Even a non-technical user can create a new module in hours, such as for a New Student Orientation event, Student Admissions or Student Retention, and embed important actions, including updating contact information, checking application status, or paying a bill.”

“Modo Labs and GreyHeller’s strengths complement each other perfectly,” said Chris Heller, Co-founder and CTO of GreyHeller. “Modo Labs provides the mobile framework while GreyHeller mobilizes the full-range of Oracle’s PeopleSoft functionality. We are excited to be providing this powerful solution for our Higher Ed and Enterprise customers.”
