=UK Oracle User Group 2015=

The Oracle User Group in the UK was split into three streams - TECH15, APPS15 and JDE15. As a PeopleSofter, I was there for the APPS15 stream.

There were many opportunities to mix in the social and exhibition portions of the day to talk to many different Oraclysers. 

==Jeremy Ashley==
Jeremy Ashley, Oracle's guru on use ability, gave an inspiring talk on Oracle's view of applications of current mobile technology - such as the use of GPS combined with time and knowledge of habits to badge into work and warn when you are moving towards a safety restricted area. 

He also introduced the concept of glance, scan and commit.

==PeopleSoft==

From a [[PeopleSoft]] point of view, the highlight of the UK OUG 15 was the introduction of [[PeopleTools 8.55]]. Jeff Robbins talked through the new features, going into some detail of the new Cloud architecture that allows [[PeopleTools]] to be installed, deployed or changed.

There were also presentations covering test automation, a roadmap for HCM 9.2 updates, and a taster of my hints and tips on [[PeopleSoft Query]].
