30-minute infrastructure scaling during peak demand

Illinois State University (ISU) relies on PeopleSoft to manage key operations, from student records to Human Resources (HR) and payroll. But as demand for uptime and performance grew, ISU faced a challenge: managing an increasingly complex IT infrastructure with limited internal resources.

The Challenge

ISU’s on-premises environment couldn’t meet their evolving needs. Course registration spikes strained system performance, staff spent too much time on maintenance instead of innovation, and vendor limitations made it difficult to make real-time adjustments.

We got into a relationship with ERPA because we had confidence in their ability to help us leverage AWS and they had the transparency we were looking for.
Todd Smoak - Executive Director of Technology Solutions

The Solution

Illinois State University sought a strategic partner to modernize its PeopleSoft environment without compromising system stability. ERPA’s tailored approach provided the expertise, flexibility, and hands-on support ISU needed to migrate to AWS, enhance system performance, and reinforce internal efficiencies.

The Results

By leveraging ERPA’s expertise and the capabilities of Amazon’s public cloud, ISU achieved greater transparency, automation, and efficiency in its PeopleSoft environment.
