Coppin State University - Peoplesoft Hcm And Portal Upgrade On Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Coppin State University is a model urban, residential liberal arts university located in the Northwest section of the city of Baltimore that provides academic programs in the arts and sciences, teacher education, nursing, graduate studies, and continuing education.
The Challenge
Business
Aging and Retiring Workforce
Coppin needed to upgrade and integrate its PeopleSoft applications to make them efficient and easier to use. Being a leader in technology themselves, Coppin wanted to leverage Cloud technologies.
- Risk of HCM 9.0 going out of support
- Aging and retiring workforce
- Attrition resulting in knowledge drain
- The high cost of on-premise infrastructure
Technology
Maintaining Multiple Releases and Security Risks
The Coppin IT Team was supporting PeopleSoft applications across different releases which complicated their operational and support models. FSCM was on V9.2, and Portal (Interaction Hub) was on V9.1, whereas, HCM and CS were both on V9.0. HR users were lacking self-service capabilities which most other organizations were already using. Assistance was needed to upgrade to a modern environment that included a migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:
- Security and compliance risks associated with being on an unsupported PeopleSoft version
- Inability to patch and update older versions of the software
- Resource and skills challenges in-house to upgrade to PeopleSoft V9.2
- HCM 9.0 application with legacy features and antiquated UI
