Deciding to migrate PeopleSoft to the cloud or replace its functionality with a SaaS solution is a pivotal decision that can redefine your organization’s IT landscape. This presentation offers a clear, practical approach to help IT managers and PeopleSoft administrators evaluate the best path forward. In just one hour, we will cover the fundamental factors that influence these decisions, including cost, infrastructure readiness, and evolving business needs.

The session will begin with a straightforward methodology to assess whether migrating PeopleSoft to cloud infrastructure or transitioning to a SaaS solution is the right move for your organization. Key topics will include evaluating current system performance, budget implications, and the potential benefits of cloud or SaaS options, such as scalability, maintenance reduction, and improved disaster recovery. We’ll outline essential steps for preparing for any transition, focusing on assessing data, understanding customization impacts, and ensuring smooth user adoption.

Attendees will also gain insight into evaluating SaaS alternatives to PeopleSoft. We will discuss how to assess these solutions based on factors like functionality match, integration capabilities, and total cost of ownership. The session will provide a basic comparison of major cloud providers—Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure—to guide attendees in selecting the best-fit cloud platform or SaaS solution.

This presentation will equip participants with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about PeopleSoft’s future, whether moving to the cloud or adopting a new SaaS platform, focusing on the most critical factors to consider in a streamlined, accessible format.
