Many Cloud adopters decided to take a phased approach to Cloud migration, maintaining a hybrid on-prem and cloud ecosystem to meet their business needs. Now that cloud has expanded to contain more robust, enterprise functionality, the time to move out of a hybrid environment is on the horizon. In order to make this transition smooth, it is essential to assess what data is in each system, how often legacy reports and information are utilized, and where each part of a business process is happening – and fully understand how end-to-end business processes cross applications in the hybrid model. This session will focus on a customer case study of continued Cloud migration and moving towards PeopleSoft retirement, starting with an assessment, and mapping what available functionality in Cloud would meet business needs. We’ll detail the tools and templates used to perform this analysis, and the beginning steps for your own application review to continue on your Cloud journey.
