The Challenge

santiago_business
Business

High TCO, Legacy Apps

The University de Santiago de Chile uses PeopleSoft FSCM, HCM, and CS applications, but all of them were on version 9.0 running on outdated hardware and software. This presented a number of challenges including:

  • Heavily customized legacy applications
  • Students lacking access to modern self-service tools
  • Faculty and Administrative staff wanted higher productivity
  • Monolithic and non-competitive hosting solution

Technology

Aging Infrastructure and Platform, Poor SLA

USACH had attempted a Campus Solutions (CS) implementation before with CS version 9.0. Based on that, they concerned about delays in procuring the infrastructure and resources needed to install and set up the PeopleSoft application software for their project. They were also concerned about resource constraints of their internal technical staff, lack of country-specific localizations in the product, and inaccessibility of expert consulting resources in South America to help them during the implementation.

  • Long lead time to procure, install and configure hosted hardware solution for PeopleSoft CS 9.2 re-implementation
  • 5x higher price quote for an on-premise hosting solution as compared to OCI
  • Lack of local PeopleSoft CS 9.2 consulting expertise and experience
  • Traditional project plans and estimates were too long and too costly
