Master the use of Oracle based cloud-services right from understanding its functionalities to integrating them with your organizartional workflow.
Overview
Making Sense of As A Service
You have a lot of options today when it comes to cloud services, and we've gathered experience with many of them. Whether you are already a cloud veteran, or are beginning your journey as a cloud neophyte, Astute Business Solutions has the right people to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions. We have experience with multiple clouds, but are currently exclusively focused on Oracle Corporation's cloud offerings. As an Oracle Gold, Cloud Standard, Managed Services Provider, we are trained and ready to help enable your business vision.
Learning About the Cloud
One of the most convenient ways for you to learn about the cloud is to take advantage of Astute's offer to perform a free virtual cloud advisory services workshop.

A cloud workshop usually covers these types of topics:
- Introduction to Oracle Cloud
- Understanding Cloud Layers (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
- Networking in the Cloud
- Cloud Integration
- Security in the Cloud
- Organizational Change Readiness
- Workload Specific Discussions
- Understanding Cloud Automation
- Monitoring in the Cloud
- Cloud Migration Strategies
- Cloud Business Case

Testimonial
What Our Customers Are Saying

Transformed Our AP Function
"At Peralta Community College District, the implementation and enhancement of the Astute system has been a transformative step in modernizing our Accounts Payable (AP) operations. This innovation has significantly improved the way we manage financial workflows—making them more efficient, accurate, and transparent.
The Astute system empowers our AP team to focus less on routine tasks and more on strategic work that adds value to the institution. It reflects Peralta’s commitment to innovation, fiscal responsibility, and continuous improvement in service to our colleges and community."
Dave Vigo
- Financial Lead, Peralta CCD
Gain Peace of the Mind with OCI
“We found Astute as one of the strongest companies that not only deals with one of the projects but the somebody who works alongside us during the journey to overcome the hurdles of the project, as well as gives us the technical advice, educates us in the process, and the one whom we can rely on in this process. We have implemented the PeopleSoft Application to the Cloud solution and Astute’s Managed Services. And we continue to modernize our application with Oracle Cloud services.”
Mamuka Khantadze
- Senior Director of Technical Operations, CARE
Seamless Migration to Oracle with No Impact on End Users
“One of the biggest challenges that we were facing was the end of life on a number of servers in our Data Center, and we no longer have to provide hardware solutions as we are a leading provider of Pawn services. Transitioning into Oracle in this critical situation helped us resolve this challenge, especially our PeopleSoft applications into the Cloud, which was a great win as it was a seamless migration with no impact on end users."
Darren McDaniel
- Senior Director, Application Development, EZCORP
Utilizing Cloud Infrastructure for Right-Sizing
“In less time, we moved our finance systems from Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud, student information to Education Cloud Infrastructure, building and maintenance services, and Amazon Web Services. Now, we are moving our PeopleSoft systems into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. One of the reasons for Cloud Migration is that updates happen over time and gradually. Meanwhile, patches had become easy to implement and adapt.”
Rob Dickson
- Chief Information Officer, Information Services & Technology, Wichita Public Officer
