Birmingham City Council budgeted 19 million pounds to move to Oracle Fusion. The projection now runs past 216 million, and the council issued a Section 114 notice. The technology was never the problem. This session takes apart what goes wrong in ERP migrations: the decisions deferred until go-live; the customizations preserved instead of proven, the warnings overruled. Then we show the method that prevents it, stage by stage, and the three questions every design workshop must answer before a single thing gets configured. If you are heading to Fusion, come find out which of these is already happening on your program.

This presentation is for CIOs, IT leadership, project managers or product managers. When migrating your system to the cloud, you're likely going to engage the services of a vendor, systems integrator or implementation partner. This presentation will include best practices and lessons learned from the entire lifecycle of working with vendors to insure project success: negotiating SOWs, preparing your team, Project Management, identifying and mitigating risks, keeping things on track, go live and sustainment. We are in the process of migrating from Peoplesoft to Oracle (Fusion) Cloud Apps, but this presentation includes takeaways for any cloud implementation.

After several attempts and failures in 2017 and 2019, the State of Indiana and Oracle initiated a proof-of-concept project to move the state's PeopleSoft Financials and HCM applications infrastructures from the on-premises datacenter to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In this session, we will walk through the journey from POC through stakeholder approvals to the planning for migration of PeopleSoft environments to OCI.

Attendees will hear about the lessons learned from the state's PeopleSoft OCI proof of concept project. We will discuss the challenges and objections raised by internal stakeholders and the data-driven responses that supported the ultimate decision to move forward with a cloud infrastructure strategy. The presentation will wrap up with an overview of the successes achieved to-date, the changes in operational responsibilities for the infrastructure providers involved in the project, and the future outlook for PeopleSoft applications for the state.
