Enterprise Migration Model for Porting PeopleSoft Solutions to Oracle Cloud Services: A Procedure-Focused Analysis
Keywords:
PeopleSoft, Oracle Cloud Services, cloud migration, enterprise migration modelAbstract
Cloud adoption has become a cornerstone of modern IT strategy, with enterprises increasingly seeking to migrate legacy systems to cloud environments for better scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. This technical paper focuses on the migration of PeopleSoft solutions to Oracle Cloud Services, emphasizing a structured, procedure-focused approach. The research proposes an enterprise migration model (EMM) designed to facilitate the seamless transition from PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud, considering functional components, workflow changes, and operational adjustments.
The paper provides an overview of the core migration process, detailing stages such as assessment, planning, execution, and post-migration optimization. Each stage incorporates best practices, based on established industry standards and academic literature. The paper also explores technical and functional changes resulting from this migration, offering a theoretical foundation for cloud migration models and strategies. The methodology includes case studies, frameworks, and models used to analyze real-world migration scenarios, ensuring a robust understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in such projects.
Moreover, the paper critically examines the implications of transitioning from on-premises systems to cloud ecosystems, particularly focusing on security, data integrity, and service continuity. Additionally, it discusses key challenges in aligning PeopleSoft applications with Oracle Cloud infrastructure, along with solutions to address issues like system compatibility, workflow reengineering, and user adaptation. Findings suggest that while migration provides significant benefits in terms of operational efficiency, the process requires comprehensive planning and continuous monitoring to optimize post-migration outcomes.
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on enterprise cloud migrations, particularly in relation to PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud transitions, and serves as a guide for future research and practical implementation in this domain.
