Thoughtful Service Design

Designing an excellent service is more of an art than a science. It requires the knowledge and skill of people who have not only provided but also consumed Managed Services. Luckily for you, the Astute Business Solutions team has skilled professionals who have lived their lives on both sides of that equation and this means that they intimately know what works and doesn't work both for customers and service providers.

We've found that one size never fits all and that most of the world is actually a gradient of gray rather than a binary black and white. This makes for a good service design backed by rock-solid SLA's, one that takes into account the humanity of the process and individual need.

Astute Business Solutions offers managed services tailored to Oracle Cloud, PeopleSoft, Ellucian Banner, Disaster Recovery, Oracle Database, and many Non-Oracle Workloads.

Our Managed Service includes the following areas:

  • Managed Network Services
  • Managed Infrastructure Services
  • Managed Security Services
  • Managed Application Services
  • Managed Development Services
  • Managed Testing Services

We have implemented the PeopleSoft Application to the Cloud solution and Astute’s Managed Services. And we continue to modernize our application with Oracle Cloud services.”

Seamless Migration to Oracle with No Impact on End Users

“One of the biggest challenges that we were facing was the end of life on a number of servers in our Data Center, and we no longer have to provide hardware solutions as we are a leading provider of Pawn services. Transitioning into Oracle in this critical situation helped us resolve this challenge, especially our PeopleSoft applications into the Cloud, which was a great win as it was a seamless migration with no impact on end users."

Utilizing Cloud Infrastructure for Right-Sizing

“In less time, we moved our finance systems from Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud, student information to Education Cloud Infrastructure, building and maintenance services, and Amazon Web Services. Now, we are moving our PeopleSoft systems into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. One of the reasons for Cloud Migration is that updates happen over time and gradually. Meanwhile, patches had become easy to implement and adapt.”
