    Business

    High TCO, Legacy Apps

    The University de Santiago de Chile uses PeopleSoft FSCM, HCM, and CS applications, but all of them were on version 9.0 running on outdated hardware and software. This presented a number of challenges including: 

    • Heavily customized legacy applications

    • Students lacking access to modern self-service tools
    • Faculty and Administrative staff wanted higher productivity 
    • Monolithic and non-competitive hosting solution

    Technology 

    Aging Infrastructure and Platform, Poor SLA

    USACH had attempted a Campus Solutions (CS) implementation before with CS version 9.0. Based on that, they concerned about delays in procuring the infrastructure and resources needed to install and set up the PeopleSoft application software for their project. They were also concerned about resource constraints of their internal technical staff,  lack of country-specific localizations in the product, and inaccessibility of expert consulting resources in South America to help them during the implementation. 

    • Long lead time to procure, install and configure hosted hardware solution for PeopleSoft CS 9.2 re-implementation

    • 5x higher price quote for an on-premise hosting solution as compared to OCI

    • Lack of local PeopleSoft CS 9.2 consulting expertise and experience

    • Traditional project plans and estimates were too long and too costly 

         

    Cloud

    PeopleSoft on Oracle Cloud

    The University de Santiago de Chile realized that in order to overcome their challenges and to deliver a modernized application experience to faculty, students, and administrative staff, they have to move to the cloud. 

    • Rapid infrastructure deployment on OCI

    • Granular cost controls and predictable spend

    • Accelerated CS 9.2 implementation

    • Responsive, mobile-friendly student self-service apps

    Consulting
