Three days, built around how you use Vista
PDS Vista Horizons brings Vista users, the people who build the product, and our services team together for three days in Orlando. Sessions are organized into tracks so you can focus on the areas that matter most to your role, with guided labs, customer panels, and brainstorming built into every day. Here is how the conference comes together.
Agenda at a Glance
Day One opens with registration and the Opening Session, and Days Two and Three open with customer panels. Each day then moves into track sessions and hands-on labs. Brainstorming Sessions close out Day One and Day Three, and the conference wraps with a Closing Session on Thursday afternoon.
Brainstorming, where your voice shapes Vista
Brainstorming Sessions bring attendees together in teams to connect with other Vista users, trade ideas, and talk through the pain points you run into every day. Teams share what is working, what is not, and where Vista could do more, then agree on their top priorities, giving PDS direct input that helps move the product forward.
Here is what to expect during your three days with us!
Four tracks, with more on the way
Human Resources
The Human Resources track follows the employee lifecycle in Vista, from requisition to hire and onboarding through benefits, leave management, and documentation. Guided labs cover onboarding, open enrollment, and leave accrual, and HR panels let you hear how your peers are putting Vista to work.
Payroll
The Payroll track covers everything from setup and dashboards to compensation, compliance, garnishments, and third-party payments. Guided labs walk through the payroll dashboard, GL interface, and payroll reconciliation, and you will get a payroll perspective on Vista Protect.
System Administration
Built for the people who keep Vista running, the System Administration track digs into security, configuration, history, workflow, and data movement. You will also see what is possible with Vista data, AI tools, Power BI, and surveys, with labs on security, reporting, and data integration.
Demonstration
The Demonstration track offers focused product showcases for attendees eager to explore specific areas of Vista, including Vista Time, recruiting, ERP, performance and learning management, and benefits. Mini labs on document management, surveys, career portal, recruiting setup, and ACA give you a closer look at features you might not know you need.
