Migration from US Data Center to UK Cloud, Third-Party Integration

The separation from parent company Hanover Insurance also meant that Chaucer had to stand up a new IT organization and could no longer depend on shared services provided by its former parent company. Chaucer needed a new home for PeopleSoft applications, fast.

  • Migration from Oracle Exadata on-premise to Oracle Database Cloud Service on OCI
  • Migrate As-Is on PeopleSoft FSCM 9.1 and maintain current integrations
  • Right-sized Cloud for performance same as or better than on-premise Exadata
  • Cloud monitoring, auditing and compliance services
