Banner Lift And Shift To Oracle Cloud
Get seamless, secure, cost-efficient and high-performing cloud-transition services without compromising on your data volume and service quality.
Overview
Lift and Shift to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
The value proposition for the Cloud is clear, it's no longer a matter of if, but when. Astute Business Solutions is the premier Oracle partner for hosting and managing your Banner applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Cloud Hosting and Managed Services
Astute’s Banner Cloud Hosting and Managed Services Solution deliver high performance, enhanced security, complete monitoring, and cost efficiencies powered by Oracle Cloud. By moving your Banner applications and related infrastructure to Oracle Cloud, Astute delivers on-demand computing resources that are tailored to your peak volume needs, while maintaining a steady-state baseline system at other times to make it cost-efficient. Disaster Recovery is standard in our Banner Hosting and Managed Services to safeguard against unexpected downtimes or shortages. By implementing Oracle Database Cloud Service Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), File Encryption, Secure Backups, Secure Network Connectivity, and a Secure-by-Default network security solution, Astute helps you improve your Banner security posture on Oracle Cloud.
Security, specifically adding a disaster recovery capability and an incentive to stop sharing resources between production, test, and development environments were the impetus behind Gonzaga University’s recent migration from Banner version 8 to OCI. As the CTO of the university described, “We were 95% moving to AWS. [But] at the end of the day, our Infrastructure team, our ERP team, our Project Management team voted—it was unanimous for OCI.”
Many educational institutions, including our customers at the University of Idaho and Laureate University, have made the decision to migrate their databases to OCI.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Transformed Our AP Function
"At Peralta Community College District, the implementation and enhancement of the Astute system has been a transformative step in modernizing our Accounts Payable (AP) operations. This innovation has significantly improved the way we manage financial workflows—making them more efficient, accurate, and transparent.
The Astute system empowers our AP team to focus less on routine tasks and more on strategic work that adds value to the institution. It reflects Peralta’s commitment to innovation, fiscal responsibility, and continuous improvement in service to our colleges and community."
Dave Vigo
- Financial Lead, Peralta CCD
Gain Peace of the Mind with OCI
“We found Astute as one of the strongest companies that not only deals with one of the projects but the somebody who works alongside us during the journey to overcome the hurdles of the project, as well as gives us the technical advice, educates us in the process, and the one whom we can rely on in this process. We have implemented the PeopleSoft Application to the Cloud solution and Astute’s Managed Services. And we continue to modernize our application with Oracle Cloud services.”
Mamuka Khantadze
- Senior Director of Technical Operations, CARE
Seamless Migration to Oracle with No Impact on End Users
“One of the biggest challenges that we were facing was the end of life on a number of servers in our Data Center, and we no longer have to provide hardware solutions as we are a leading provider of Pawn services. Transitioning into Oracle in this critical situation helped us resolve this challenge, especially our PeopleSoft applications into the Cloud, which was a great win as it was a seamless migration with no impact on end users."
Darren McDaniel
- Senior Director, Application Development, EZCORP
Utilizing Cloud Infrastructure for Right-Sizing
“In less time, we moved our finance systems from Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud, student information to Education Cloud Infrastructure, building and maintenance services, and Amazon Web Services. Now, we are moving our PeopleSoft systems into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. One of the reasons for Cloud Migration is that updates happen over time and gradually. Meanwhile, patches had become easy to implement and adapt.”
Rob Dickson
- Chief Information Officer, Information Services & Technology, Wichita Public Officer
