When contemplating how to improve your PeopleSoft system to meet your continually changing business requirements, there are three potential options: Cloud, Edge, or Replace. These are all great options that will not only make your working life easier; it will save you time and money. Learn more about updating your PeopleSoft in this webinar on-demand (slides) - see smarterp.com webinars on-demand for the recording of the webinar.

6. Which Version of PeopleSoft?
A. 8.9 or Below
B. 9.0
C. 9.1
D. 9.2

7. Three Ways to Leverage Cloud
• Cloud: Migrate Existing PeopleSoft Applications to Cloud
• Keep your existing PeopleSoft Applications while taking advantage of
Cloud benefits
• Edge: Cloud at the Edges
• Expand your existing PeopleSoft Applications with new SaaS add-ons
• Replace: Migrate from PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud or NetSuite
ERP/HCM
• Replace existing PeopleSoft Applications with next-gen Cloud
Applications

8. Three Types of Cloud Services
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Hardware, Operating Systems, Network
Connections – Using IaaS with PeopleSoft means simply replacing your
existing on-premises hardware stack with Cloud-based infrastructure.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Databases, Middleware, Integration – Using
Paas with PeopleSoft includes folding database and middleware tiers into
the Cloud stack – gaining additional benefits of Cloud application
management
• Software as a Service (SaaS) - Applications: Since PeopleSoft is not a native
Cloud-based application, there is no SaaS option available. SaaS
applications can be used to either augment or replace existing PeopleSoft
modules

9. Cloud
Benefits

10. How the Cloud is a Differentiator
• Moving enterprise data to the cloud results in more data being available
across the enterprise as well as between trading partners.
• Cloud applications can easily scale up or down as loads increase or decrease
• Additional sites can more easily be rolled out than with traditional on-
premises applications
• Additional modules are more easily added than with traditional on-premises
applications
• Allows companies to concentrate on their core competencies rather than
devoting large amounts of resources to infrastructure maintenance,
cybersecurity, performance tuning, etc.
• Ability to easily increase data storage as data volume increases

11. PeopleSoft in
the Cloud

12. Running PeopleSoft in the Cloud
• Many companies have been running PeopleSoft in the Cloud for years
• Any Cloud can be used to host PeopleSoft applications via IaaS
• Oracle OCI
• Amazon AWS
• Microsoft Azure
• Others
• If you can create the server stack in a Cloud environment, you can install
PeopleSoft in that Cloud environment
• You can move all or parts of your PeopleSoft infrastructure to the Cloud
• Use Cloud for just DEV/TEST
• Use Cloud for PUM updates/Change Packages
• Move entire infrastructure to Cloud

13. Health Management Systems Lift-and-Shift to Cloud
• HMS delivers healthcare technology, analytics, and solutions to help
reduce costs and enhance member experiences – making sure more
healthcare dollars benefit more people.
• HMS had a goal of moving their PeopleSoft ERP off their own internal
infrastructure to the Cloud.
• Smart ERP manages the HMS environment in the Cloud, making sure that
the system is always running properly, intervening when needed, and
performing regular maintenance such as the application of security
patches.
• This allows HMS to focus on their core competency – running the
business – while outsourcing the hosting and management of their ERP
infrastructure.
• HMS chose to host their PeopleSoft ERP in Azure Cloud, but the same
success can be replicated in other Cloud hosting environments as well

14. Benefits Gained at HMS
• Reduction of monthly incident tickets by 86%
• Average time to resolution of incident tickets has been reduced
• Backups are automated and stored in the Cloud
• Recovery Time for all ERP Pillars is 24 hours
• Recovery Point Objective is 15 minutes
• Update SLA is 99.9%
• Latest Demo Image always maintained and available
• Round-the-Clock support delivered from multiple time zones
• Software based monitoring of all critical system components

15. Smart ERP Lift and Shift Methodology

areas. Run multiple projects using automated environment
provisioning.
• Customize your environment in the cloud. Develop, test, roll out,
and maintain your customizations to suit your organization's
business needs.

with confidence.

19. Managing Environments

20. Simplified PeopleSoft Patching/Upgrading

21. Cloud at the
Edges

22. Why Look at Cloud Edge Solutions?
• Oracle and other companies are increasingly focusing on Cloud
solutions as their premier ERP/EPM/SCM/HCM applications
• Companies with large ERP implementations (especially if heavily
customized) are understandably reluctant to move completely
to new Cloud applications
• Integrated solutions present a “toe in the water” to begin the
transition to Cloud ERP solutions.

29. Benefits of Migrating to a Modern Cloud Platform
1. Lower Costs – Subscription costs are based on a monthly or yearly pricing model and saves
money by instantly giving you access to a vastly improved infrastructure without the hefty up-
front hardware and software investments of the past.
2. Streamlined Business Performance – Fewer keystrokes and manual processes leveraging ERP,
SCM and HCM modern best practice business functionality and reporting capabilities.
3. Easier to Update and Scale – It’s the last upgrade you will ever have to do given the automatic
updates, patches and periodic new releases that Oracle provides via its automated SaaS system.
4. Anytime, Anywhere Access - Unlike on-premise systems, cloud systems give
growing businesses the ability to improve workforce mobility and increase productivity, even
when employees are on the go and working remote.
5. Less IT Maintenance Internally along with Robust Backup and Disaster Recovery – This
reduces day-to-day routine maintenance and troubleshooting tasks so that your IT team can
focus on more strategic business initiatives.
