PROJECT INFORMATION

This large university, serving over 23,000 students and employing more than 7,700 staff and faculty, sought to modernize its operational infrastructure. Facing challenges with a complex PeopleSoft setup, they turned to Drivestream for an advanced, cloud-based solution that would support their growth and academic mission.

CHALLENGES

The university needed to replace its customized PeopleSoft system with a more adaptable, cloud-based solution to address:

  • Outdated Interfaces: Legacy interfaces have limited user experience and functionality.
  • Data & Workflow Inefficiencies: Complicated workflows and insufficient analytics hindered efficiency.
  • PeopleSoft Dependency: Highly customized PeopleSoft systems were costly to maintain and difficult to update.
  • Operational Co-existence: A seamless coexistence with PeopleSoft Campus solutions was essential during the transition.

RESULTS & IMPACT

Drivestream led a comprehensive Oracle Cloud implementation across HCM, ERP, and Talent Cloud modules, enabling the university to transition to a streamlined, future-ready infrastructure.

Solution Highlights:

  • Streamlined Financial Operations: Implemented Oracle Financials, Projects, and Grants modules, enabling better data access and automating complex workflows like grants billing.
  • Efficient HR & Talent Management: Modernized HR with Oracle HCM, Payroll, and Talent Cloud, providing tailored onboarding experiences for faculty, staff, and students.
  • Integrated Data Across Systems: Established a unified person identifier for consistency across Oracle Cloud and PeopleSoft systems, ensuring efficient data management and accurate reporting.
  • Custom Automation: Developed a unique solution to replace manual general ledger entries for facility cost allocations, reducing administrative overhead.
  • Enhanced Security Automation: Automated security processes across HCM and ERP, minimizing manual intervention and improving compliance.

By transitioning to Oracle Cloud, the university replaced its costly, customized PeopleSoft system with a modern, configurable platform that enhances efficiency across departments. Real-time data access, automation, and improved workflows have empowered university leaders with the insights needed for faster, data-driven decisions.
