The digital transformation of legacy enterprise systems to modern cloud platforms is an essential component of organizational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and competitiveness. This research paper explores a structured approach to rehosting PeopleSoft applications on Oracle Cloud platforms, with a focus on functional segments and process evolution. PeopleSoft, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, is widely used by businesses for various core functions, such as human resources, finance, and supply chain management. However, as cloud technology continues to evolve, organizations face the challenge of migrating these legacy systems to cloud platforms like Oracle Cloud. This study presents a systematic workflow-centric methodology for the seamless migration of PeopleSoft applications to Oracle Cloud, emphasizing process transition and application reconfiguration.
The paper begins with an exploration of the complexities involved in rehosting PeopleSoft applications, highlighting key challenges such as data migration, functional re-structuring, and system integration. The research methodology incorporates case studies, theoretical analysis, and practical examples to develop an adaptive migration model that minimizes disruption to business operations. Through an in-depth review of relevant literature, the study identifies the key drivers for cloud adoption in the enterprise sector, as well as best practices for ensuring the success of migration projects.
The findings indicate that organizations can achieve significant improvements in scalability, performance, and security by leveraging Oracle Cloud’s infrastructure, while reducing the operational burden associated with traditional PeopleSoft deployments. Furthermore, the paper offers insights into how different business functions such as HR, finance, and logistics can be restructured and optimized through cloud adoption. The study concludes with a discussion on the broader implications of cloud migration for organizations, and provides recommendations for future research and practice.
