Fast Erp Migration To Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Migrate your ERP to Oracle Cloud infrastructure seamlessly.

Overview

Astute's Methodology for Moving Your ERP to OCI in Ten Business Days

Governance

“Conceptual integrity is the most important consideration in […] design. It is better to […] omit certain anomalous features and improvements, but to reflect one set of design ideas than to have one that contains many good but independent and uncoordinated ideas.” (Brooks, 1995, pp. 42) If you want to be able to move to the cloud safely, and quickly, you absolutely must have aligned and strong project governance in place before you begin. Don’t underestimate how critical this tenet is to the methodology.

Planning

“Failing to write a spec is the single biggest unnecessary risk you take in a software project.” (Spolsky, 2004, pp. 45) We’ve been working on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure migration projects since 2016, and we firmly agree with Joel that having a plan is a big deal. In the last four years, we’ve been tuning our project plan after each of our more than thirty ERP migrations to OCI. There are some aspects of the plan that always go a certain way, and there are other aspects that require more finesse and special care. To make sure that your migration is completed as efficiently, and securely as possible, clear, precise, and early communication and collaboration are needed from the very beginning.

Automation

“Once a task becomes automated, it also becomes largely commoditized. Value is then created on a higher level than when people were busy doing more basic things.” (Satell, 2017) Which is a great thing as this not only drives down implementation duration but also has a direct impact on project cost. In 2016 ERP cloud migration projects were selling from USD 750,000 and were scheduled to take 18-24 months. Today migrations sell for as little as USD 20,000 and can be completed in a month or less.

Experience

“Turns out there are numerous problems in making it on your own. You don’t recognize the issues that are standing in your way, or if you do, you don’t necessarily know how to fix them… So, I thought a little more and I said “OK, I’ll try a coach.”. (Gawande, 2017, 07:02-07:58) Our team isn’t just fast and efficient because of planning and automation. The fourth tenet of our migration methodology is experience. The entire Astute team has deep tenure with Oracle ERP technologies, Oracle Database, and has been working with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since its birth in 2016 – this experience simply can’t be understated. Our team, onshore and offshore, has been down the road, has the experience, skill, and relationships to ensure your smooth transition to the cloud.

FAQ

Fast Erp Migration To Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Oci) Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)

Here are some answers to questions that will get you started on your migration to OCI. Contact Us to set up a detailed discussion anytime.

Can you migrate my ERP/Application to OCI?

We have programs for most Oracle ERPs. We specialize in:

PeopleSoft
EBusiness Suite
JD-Edwards
Hyperion
Seibel

As well as

Ellucian Banner Applications

and

Custom Java Applications running on
- Oracle Database
- MySQL Database

Project duration is dependent on a number of factors including:

Number of Environments
Complexity of Change
Complexity of Integrations
Testing Plan

With the above caveat, most regular projects are complete within 8-12 weeks, and larger projects are complete within 16-24 weeks.

Do you have experience re-platforming form Unix to Linux?

Yes! We've done several large migrations where the source system was Unix and we re-platformed to Oracle Linux or other Linux on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This adds a little bit of complexity to the project, but it's totally worth it.

Testimonial

What Our Customers Are Saying

Gain Peace of the Mind with OCI

“We found Astute as one of the strongest companies that not only deals with one of the projects but the somebody who works alongside us during the journey to overcome the hurdles of the project, as well as gives us the technical advice, educates us in the process, and the one whom we can rely on in this process. 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.”

Mamuka Khantadze

- Senior Director of Technical Operations, CARE

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."

Darren McDaniel

- Senior Director, Application Development, EZCORP

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.”
