Building the Case for “Yes!”: The State of Indiana’s Cloud Journey from Proof-of-Concept Towards Production

Presented at BLUEPRINT 4D
Session ID: P-049959

After several attempts and failures in 2017 and 2019, the State of Indiana and Oracle initiated a proof-of-concept project to move the state's PeopleSoft Financials and HCM applications infrastructures from the on-premises datacenter to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In this session, we will walk through the journey from POC through stakeholder approvals to the planning for migration of PeopleSoft environments to OCI.

Attendees will hear about the lessons learned from the state's PeopleSoft OCI proof of concept project. We will discuss the challenges and objections raised by internal stakeholders and the data-driven responses that supported the ultimate decision to move forward with a cloud infrastructure strategy. The presentation will wrap up with an overview of the successes achieved to-date, the changes in operational responsibilities for the infrastructure providers involved in the project, and the future outlook for PeopleSoft applications for the state.

This session is eligible the following CPE credits: NASBA, SHRM
