The New ERP Mandate for PeopleSoft Customers

Astute champions a "Move, Improve, and Innovate" approach that respects your existing PeopleSoft environment as the ultimate source of truth:

• Move and Improve: Migrating mission-critical PeopleSoft HCM, FSCM, and Campus Solutions workloads from on-premises data centers or AWS to OCI to dramatically increase performance, optimize costs, and establish robust disaster recovery.
• Enterprise AI Layering: Instead of standard SaaS overhauls, Astute injects turnkey AI agents, natural language processing, and automated machine learning directly over your current PeopleSoft PUM/Image framework, delivering a modernized user experience with minimal operational disruption.

Proven OCI Modernization & Database Success

Astute possesses deep technical expertise in advanced OCI architectures—such as Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS) and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS)—delivering rapid, seamless migrations for massive PeopleSoft ecosystems:

• Autonomous Database 26ai Modernization: Astute is actively leading pioneering database transitions to future-proof core enterprise data layers. Both MiraCosta College (transitioning PeopleSoft pillars) and Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) are moving to Oracle Autonomous Database 26ai on OCI. This architecture unlocks self-tuning, self-patching, and built-in vector search capabilities to ensure unmatched application uptime and predictive analytics.
• San Diego Community College District (SDCCD): Migrated full PeopleSoft HCM, FSCM, and Campus Solutions workloads to OCI on ExaCS in just 5 months, establishing multi-region disaster recovery, full-stack encryption via Oracle Data Safe, and long-term cloud managed services.
• City of Albuquerque, NM: Successfully transitioned PeopleSoft, Hyperion, and 35 interconnected ancillary applications to OCI in a compressed 6-month timeframe, backed by airtight security and automated Disaster Recovery (DR).
• Migrate PeopleSoft FSCM, HCM, CS from on -prem to OCI over 80 projects including GAFG, Chaucer Insurance, Gallaudet University, Parker and many more.
• Trinet Data Center Exit: Migrated 3 massive on-premises data centers to OCI in 8 months, shifting 2,000 VMs, 100 applications, and over 200 databases utilizing ExaCS and OCVS with comprehensive ransomware protection.

Driving Measurable Outcomes via Specialized AI Agents

Astute helps PeopleSoft users move beyond curiosity to operational clarity. By deploying targeted, secure AI Agents built natively on OCI (GenAI, Functions, APEX) within your own tenant, Astute delivers a 50% to 70% reduction in document processing effort and up to a 90% improvement in accuracy:

• Contract Management Agents: Convert passive contract storage into active intelligence. Utilizing GenAI, these tools automate drafting from templates, perform natural language searches for specific clauses, evaluate compliance risks, and provide concise document summaries.
• Expense Management Agents: Advance Financials (FSCM) by using cognitive AI to scan receipts, verify line items against supplier agreements or company policy, and identify anomalies to remove manual entry errors.
• AstuteAP (AP Invoice Automation): A pre-built, turnkey solution that integrates natively into PeopleSoft to capture invoice data, execute automated validation checks (duplicate checks, vendor compliance, payment thresholds), and securely trigger downstream voucher workflows. This innovation has been implemented by organizations such as the University of Missouri, Children's Hospital of Minnesota, and Peralta Community College (PCP), earning Oracle Innovation recognition.
• Intelligent Class Scheduler: Layers a Hybrid AI + Optimization Engine over PeopleSoft Campus Solutions to instantly generate degree-compliant, personalized schedules balancing student work-life preferences, while maintaining strict data integrity with the underlying database.
• AI for Research: Transforms static academic archives into a secure, active knowledge engine. Designed specifically for higher education and research institutions, this platform uses Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and semantic search to streamline grant reviews, automate compliance validation, and accelerate proposal cycles—all within a secure, high-performance cloud environment.

Through practical Applied AI and Data Strategy Workshops, Astute helps PeopleSoft stakeholders map high-value pain points directly to solution accelerators, defining clear roadmaps to scale efficiency securely without compromising existing row-level security or permission lists.
