AARP Boosts Performance and Scalability With AWS Cloud

Boost Your PeopleSoft Performance Using the Power of the AWS Cloud

ERPA's solution for improving AARP's PeopleSoft performance combines the endless benefits of the AWS cloud and our Hosted Managed Services for PeopleSoft – both of which are enhanced by ActiveGenie™, our cloud orchestration service.

AARP gained incredible improvements in performance, reliability, disaster recovery, security, and scalability, while optimizing operations, management, and maintenance with DevOps. ERPA Hosted Managed Services are backed by an industry-leading Service Level Agreement (SLA), robust governance, and service delivery management.

We leverage ActiveGenie™ automation to streamline AWS infrastructure management, PeopleSoft administration, and database administration for a SaaS-like experience with near-zero downtime for routine maintenance activities. Our team has since seamlessly upgraded their database and is currently deploying the Fluid user interface.

Beyond the lowered total cost of ownership and benefits of the AWS cloud, AARP has better PeopleSoft performance.

ERPA Case Study: AARP Boosts Performance and Scalability With AWS Cloud

The Challenge

AARP was undergoing an organization-wide, multi-phase IT cloud modernization effort to migrate all enterprise applications and infrastructure to AWS. AARP needed a partner with the experience and expertise to migrate their PeopleSoft HCM, Finance, and Portal applications from a private data center with the goal of resolving misconfigured infrastructure and frequent system outages.

The Solution

The ERPA team met with AARP leadership and subject matter experts to understand the challenges, business requirements, and opportunities. Next, we architected a solution leveraging AWS native services, and DevOps principles and automation for simplified provisioning and deployment. The end result was a purpose-built infrastructure with appropriately sized AWS resources in alignment with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

The Outcome

AARP's upgraded PeopleSoft applications were deployed with an optimized Amazon RDS database to handle their massive amounts of data. AARP realized immediate benefits of increased performance, scalability, security, reliability, and increased operational efficiency.
