The Challenge

Business

Eliminate Risk, Reduce Costs

SDI was facing challenges with aging infrastructure that could fail at any time. PeopleSoft was critical to SDI's supply chain business and it had to be stable and reliable.

  • Get out of the data center
  • Improve operational performance
  • Improve maintenance
  • Access to skilled resources

Update Infrastructure, Improve Performance, Simplify Maintenance

With multiple outages and a precarious hardware situation, it was time for SDI to look to Cloud and an expert Managed Service Provider to take over PeopleSoft hosting and support while they focused on their core supply chain management and MRO business growth. SDI was running on aging hardware with Solaris operating systems and older versions of Oracle database and PeopleSoft PeopleTools.

  • Migrate PeopleSoft to Cloud with re-platforming of Solaris to Oracle Linux
  • Upgrade Oracle database to the currently supported version on Oracle Cloud
  • Streamlining maintenance by implementing Cloud automation tools like Terraform and Cloud Manager
  • Implement a Flex Support model to access top PeopleSoft and Cloud talent on-demand
