What problem were you most excited to help institutions solve by sponsoring Alliance?
Our goal is to help users add value to their PeopleSoft environments TODAY, and into the future, agnostic of their platform. As Alliance attendees seek to continue improving the performance of their enterprise systems, Gideon Taylor is excited to share industry best practices about AI, cloud, process automation, and UX.
As a part of Alliance, we’re also thrilled to launch GT Ignite: Transformation Begins Today, our first user conference. As a HEUG member and Alliance attendee, we hope you’ll join us at GT Ignite in Orlando on March 8th to kick off the Alliance Conference!
What conversations or challenges are you hoping to have with higher ed leaders during the event?
We want to talk with leaders who are eager to modernize the user experience, simplify operations, and unlock more value from the systems they already have. The best conversations happen when institutions share what’s working and inspire each other to take the next step.
How does your organization support long term success for higher education beyond a single implementation or contract?
We partner with institutions for the long haul, helping them continuously improve, innovate, and adapt as their needs evolve. Our focus is on building strong teams, sharing best practices, and supporting a culture of ongoing transformation. From getting more out of PeopleSoft today, to facilitating a move to a new platform, Gideon Taylor is here to grow with our customers.
What trends or shifts in higher education are influencing how your team is investing or innovating right now?
Institutions are under more pressure than ever to deliver better digital experiences with limited resources. That’s driving a shift toward practical, incremental innovation that delivers fast wins and measurable impact without waiting years for change. We’re here to help teams add value and improve systems, with results you’ll see right away!
Why was Alliance the right place for your team to show up this year?
Alliance is where the PeopleSoft and Oracle community comes together to learn, share, and innovate. Hosting our user event GT Ignite as a part of Alliance is our way of supporting that momentum and celebrating the innovative spirit of this community. Transformation begins today, and there’s no better place to start than with HEUG and at Alliance 2026.
