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.
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.

Upgrade Oracle database to the currently supported version on Oracle Cloud
Streamlining maintenance by implementing Cloud automation tools like Terraform and Cloud Manager

PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud
Astute collaborated with SDI and Oracle to demonstrate why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure was the best place to run PeopleSoft and other Non-Oracle workloads running on Oracle databases.
Lift and Shift, Replatform, Performance Tuning, Integration
Astute Business Solutions worked with SDI and Oracle teams to conduct a detailed assessment of SDI's needs. By reviewing on-premise architecture and software implementations, Astute was able to identify areas for improvement and recommended those solutions as part of the cloud migration effort. Astute also looked at critical resource constraints that SDI had and provided a solution to augment SDI's staff with PeopleSoft and Cloud skills.
