FGB Raffles and PeopleSoft
FPG Raffles went live with a new on-premise implementation of PeopleSoft FSCM in June 2013. There is a small team of personnel that supports AP, AR, GL and AM with high volume processing due to a large number of managed shipping containers.
SpearMC performed a simultaneous upgrade to PeopleTools 8.55 and Oracle Database 12.2 and also performed a “lift and shift” of PeopleSoft and their in-house Galaxy Asset Management systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Services Utilized
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Database Cloud Service), Oracle Database Backup Service.
Upgrades Performed
- Upgraded to Oracle Database 12.2 and upgraded from Windows to Oracle Linux OS
Shifting to the Cloud
With this shift to the Cloud, the company saw two main benefits.
Reduced Server Operations Support
- FPG Raffles needed to free-up Server Ops personnel to concentrate on more critical tasks. Utilizing OCI reduced deployment efforts and efforts related to physical hardware, networking, storage and Oracle Database maintenance.
Disaster Recovery
- Utilizing two separate sites in conjunction with Oracle Database Backup service significantly improved the disaster recovery plan.
