Tag: Move to Cloud

Presented at BLUEPRINT 4D
Session ID: 108300

Oracle Cloud provides a unified environment where HR and Financial business processes leverage a common environment. Beyond the technical advantages, Baylor University has realized many functional advantages of a unified environment - enabling the university to make better and faster decisions based upon better visibility to key measures across their organization. This session will highlight processes that can help your organization realize the benefits of a unified finance and HR solution.

There has been no shortage of attention on the advantages artificial intelligence and generative AI bring to enterprises - from real-time customer engagement to on-the-spot analysis and remediation of issues or anomalies. Behind all the wonders that AI brings, however, is the workhorse that must be attended behind the scenes—databases and associated data environments. Data managers acknowledge that in many cases, today’s current data environments inhibit progress, and improvement requires more targeted investment in automation and infrastructure. Data needs to be secure, highly available, and viable for AI and other advanced initiatives to succeed within enterprises.

Oracle has extended PeopleSoft support it until 2034, but what happens after that?  You may be considering a move to Oracle Cloud HCM, but before you do, you may be interested in identifying what the Oracle Cloud can do that PeopleSoft can’t.

The path to Cloud is not one-size fits all for PeopleSoft users - but there are common steps you can take now to better prepare your organization for your journey! This webcast will talk through key milestones on your path to cloud - including steps to better utilize your PeopleSoft application, reduce customizations, and make strategic feature enhancements that start preparing your team for transformation.

We'll talk through common customer roadmaps and key considerations for each stop along the way. We'll also highlight key details like how to get your data, business processes, users, integrations, and more cloud ready - giving your organization high level tools to "scorecard" your cloud readiness, identify areas for improvement or consideration, and optimization framework to support changes for your PeopleSoft application.

Understanding your cloud roadmap means understanding where your organization is today and making iterative improvements to not only continue to fully utilize you PeopleSoft application, but also put plans and a strategy in place to ensure your move to cloud is successful in the future!

When it comes to modern enterprise applications, most organizations have some key expectations. For starters, we expect them to be highly performant and to scale without our users noticing; a core back-office application like Oracle PeopleSoft will be able to scale during times of peak demand – like student enrollment periods, for example – without needing to overprovision.  We’re also expecting that behind the scenes, application developers are able to push updates very quickly; so from one day to the next we’ll see new functionality added to an existing application like flipping a switch. And from a security perspective, we expect modern application security to be integrated and on by default, rather than bolted-on.

But it can be very challenging to get these benefits with on-premises deployments, where availability is difficult and performance requires dedicated infrastructure – and the maintenance, capacity planning, and costly hardware refreshes that go hand-in-hand with these environments. It’s with these challenges in mind that so many on-premises Oracle applications customers are choosing to migrate their workloads to (OCI.)

When your organization depends on PeopleSoft to manage human resources, finances, supply chain, inventory, or higher education campus experiences and you want to get to the cloud but are not ready to move to SaaS because of deep customization, integration or control requirements, Oracle has a validated cloud solution for you.

You can migrate your current PeopleSoft deployment to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and gain access to better elasticity to support peak seasons, agility to add new capabilities, streamlined infrastructure management, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure you have granular control over your PeopleSoft environment all while taking advantage of the same software, the same licenses, and the same training your staff and end-users currently have. In addition, only Oracle offers consistent high performance at guaranteed service levels.

Cloud apps and services are the latest and greatest ERP craze. But what are they exactly? How will they work with your particular JD Edwards system and all of its customizations?
