Sydney Catholic Schools transitioned their PeopleSoft HCM and ELM systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

As a forward-looking organization, Sydney Catholic Schools was looking for ways to optimize its IT portfolio, reduce cost, and improve its security, audit and performance for PeopleSoft HCM and ELM 9.2 solutions.

After carefully evaluating options based on strategic business needs, Sydney Catholic Schools selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as the future-state solution for its PeopleSoft HCM and ELM applications. Deloitte started out by assessing Sydney Catholic Schools current architecture and sizing for PeopleSoft applications to identify areas of improvement. We designed right-sized, future-state architecture on OCI, including disaster recovery, with recommendations to add monitoring and infrastructure automation solutions.

• OCI deployed on multiple availability domains for redundancy.
• OCI IaaS - Network, Compute, Storage, Web Application Firewall, Load Balancer.
• Secure, compliant design on OCI.
• Fault-tolerant, high-available design.
• Disaster recovery with Data Guard.
• Lifecycle automation tools.

Impact

Sydney Catholic Schools was able to execute a planned move to OCI based on the blueprint developed by Deloitte. Sydney Catholic Schools realized several benefits as a result of this lift and shift, such as:

• TCO reduction of 10% on hosting.
• Projected 20% performance gain.
• Industry-leading cloud service level agreement.
• Shift to an Agile culture for sustainment.
• Full-fledged disaster recovery that meets recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time.
• Objective (RTO) service level agreement.
• Enhanced security for business integrations.
• Increased speed for new feature deployments with environment provisioning.

By moving PeopleSoft to OCI, Sydney Catholic Schools has set the stage for future growth and expansion of its organization.
