Potential Security Risks
do you know your security policies?
Do you know if you are in compliance with your company's security policies?
- Oracle UPK is not issuing technical updates for browser and Operating System updates
- This places a burden on your IT security team to validate security
- Will UPK stop working because of new security policies being implemented at your company?
- Technical updates are required fro ensure protection against external threats to the business continuity of your organization
Last Major Update was 2014
not keeping up with the pace of change
UPK has not seen meaningful enhancement since 2014 and since that time, things have changed ... a lot.
- Applications have moved to SaaS and Cloud
- Thick client and desktop-based applications have become challenging for IT leadership to support
- Learning and Development teams are stretched thin with the demands of the new digital workplace
- xAPI has become the new standard for analyzing learning data but is not captured by UPK
Compatibility with non-Oracle and Cloud/SaaS applications
maximize your reach
- Since UPK was developed as an on-premises and partially desktop EPSS technology, the explosion of Cloud technologies has occurred
- The new concept of the Digital Workplace involves Cloud applications that enable better collaboration, project and task management, content management, sharing and communication
- Major applications like Salesforce, Workday, Oracle, SAP, Infor, Dynamics and AthenaHealth are all in the cloud
- Newer digital adoption solution technologies, like Opus, were built to handle these dynamic applications, UPK was built for the time before these applications
Converting UPK Content (CRITICAL)
salvage your investment of time and money in Oracle UPK
Your UPK content requires a robust converter that knows the complexities of UPK. The Opus UPK Content Converter was developed by our team who also developed UPK, so we know what's involved.
- While a few tools claim to import UPK, we convert all steps, messages, frames… you’re fully converted and productive in days instead of months
- The converted files become Opus files and are fully editable so you can modify and update as needed
- Editing is fast and easy with Opus' powerful drag-and-drop editor
- Odarc files can be loaded and converted in bulk or one at a time
