Comptroller of Public Accounts for the State of Texas migrated their PeopleSoft environments to OCI

Comptroller of Public Accounts for the State of Texas runs PeopleSoft HCM, FSCM, and ELM for Texas agencies. That includes 113 agencies (by FY2021), over $90 billion in spending and onboarding of approximately 115,000 employees. With help from their partner Accenture, they migrated their PSFT environments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure going live with their agencies in April 2019. The platform was chosen with high expectations of performance, price, availability and the need to expand without disruption as new agencies are added. By fiscal 2021, the state will have migrated 92% of state spend to the PeopleSoft Financial systems and 67% of the state’s full-time employees to the HR/Payroll PeopleSoft systems to OCI with expectations to have all state agencies deployed on PeopleSoft systems in OCI by fiscal 2025.

As the first state government running PeopleSoft on OCI, the results have been exceptional. They have achieved across the board performance improvements including 60% reduction in PO/AP print run time, 70% reduction in release report run time, 50% reduction in PO dispatch run time, 50% reduction in nightly environment refresh run time, and 40% reduction in production backup run time. All of this is done with a projected savings of 50% over 5 years.
