The Challenge
Business
Access Modern Features
It had been more than a decade since H&S had last performed a functional PeopleSoft upgrade. They were running FSCM 9.1 with PeopleTools version 8.53. The business users have a great understanding of their PeopleSoft system, how it works, and what it can do. However, when business leaders ask for new features, the answer is often that the new feature or request can not be accommodated due to constraints imposed by the current system.
- Look and feel of the current system
- System rigidity to change
- Time spent by team members on workarounds
- Lack of resources to perform functional upgrades
Technology
Resource Challenge - Quantity and skills
Over the years, Heidrick & Struggles had consciously been making the decision to cut back on its technical staff to the bare minimum needed to continue to support its systems, and in the case of PeopleSoft, that did not include resourcing for major initiatives like upgrades or re-platforming. As Heidrick & Struggles decided to move to the cloud and determined that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) would be the best platform for its PeopleSoft application, it became apparent that they did not have sufficient quantity or skilled resources to perform the lift or upgrade.
Need for an SI:
- that has experience with 9.1 to 9.2 upgrades including tools upgrades
- that has experience with on-premise to OCI migrations where upgrades are included in the scope of the migration process
- that can train and bring in-house resources up to speed on OCI technology
- that can train and bring in-house resources up to speed on differences between 9.1 and 9.2
The Solution
Enterprise Infrastructure
Astute engaged with the Heidrick & Struggles team to understand their specific needs and timeline constraints. A detailed project plan was developed based on the Astute team’s experience, and further input and refinement from Heidrick & Struggles. The Astute team brought standard, hardened, Oracle certified PeopleSoft Terraform scripts representing the architecture that the Astute team recommended for the Heidrick & Struggles team based on our understanding of the Heidrick & Struggles footprint.

A 20-week project that was a whirlwind of mini-projects consisting of multiple upgrades, implementation, and a reimplementation. The amount of work performed by the combined Heidrick & Struggles and Astute teams was indeed impressive, and the teamwork displayed was inspiring. As the treasury/cash management module experienced a significant re-write between the 9.1 and 9.2 versions, a functional re-implementation was required in order to continue utilizing the module.

Compelling Reasons For Peoplesoft On Oracle Cloud
With a cloud-first strategy, customers running PeopleSoft on OCI have a distinct advantage to put the new PeopleTools releases through its paces and take it for a test drive.
Peoplesoft And Non-oracle Workloads To Oci
By moving PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud, SDI has gained not only a robust infrastructure with SLA for its mission-critical supply chain application but also business continuity assurance with Disaster Recovery on Oracle Cloud
Scaling New Heights With Cloud Migration
The shift to the cloud has been a game-changer for nearly every industry, business, and professional. Legacy on-premise solutions can still get the job done - but innovators now need to embrace change for real-time views, cost efficiencies, faster processing, and an easier path to forward-thinking insights.
