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.

How fast is your PeopleSoft system? How fast could it go? How do you measure response times? What "levers" exist to optimize your PeopleSoft performance? Will moving PeopleSoft to OCI help? This session explores all these questions and more and will be useful to anyone running PeopleSoft.

Learn from Brigham Young University's experience maintaining PeopleSoft Campus Solutions as HR and Finance moved to the Cloud. We implemented a backfill strategy at the start to support PeopleSoft which allowed our internal PeopleSoft team to focus on the new Cloud implementation. We prepared BYU staff to support the changes to the HR and Finance system while a PeopleSoft managed service provider operated PeopleSoft day-to-day. In additional, to keeping Campus Solutions healthy, the managed service provider also retrofitted Campus Solutions to be integrated with HR and Finance in the Cloud. The journey continues in 2025 as we lift and shift PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We deep dive into each of the integrations, retrofit work, and other activities allowing PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to keep running smoothly across campus during the transition and afterwards.
