The Challenge

Business

Aging and Retiring Workforce

Coppin needed to upgrade and integrate its PeopleSoft applications to make them efficient and easier to use. Being a leader in technology themselves, Coppin wanted to leverage Cloud technologies.

  • Risk of HCM 9.0 going out of support
  • Aging and retiring workforce
  • Attrition resulting in knowledge drain
  • The high cost of on-premise infrastructure

Technology

Maintaining Multiple Releases and Security Risks

The Coppin IT Team was supporting PeopleSoft applications across different releases which complicated their operational and support models. FSCM was on V9.2, and Portal (Interaction Hub) was on V9.1, whereas, HCM and CS were both on V9.0. HR users were lacking self-service capabilities which most other organizations were already using. Assistance was needed to upgrade to a modern environment that included a migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  • Security and compliance risks associated with being on an unsupported PeopleSoft version
  • Inability to patch and update older versions of the software
  • Resource and skills challenges in-house to upgrade to PeopleSoft V9.2
  • HCM 9.0 application with legacy features and antiquated UI

By avoiding traditional effort, cost, and time overheads of on-premise infrastructure for these projects and instead, focused on delivering business value with the latest Fluid UI, Workflow, and Self-Service capabilities.

  • Burst into Cloud for PeopleSoft projects and avoid on-premise infrastructure overheads
  • Reduce efforts, cost and time for PeopleSoft lifecycle management projects
  • Automate testing with FasTest and PeopleSoft Test Framework for HCM 9.2 Upgrade
