Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) gained major improvements in performance, reliability, scalability, and security, while optimizing operations, management, and maintenance.
FSCJ was experiencing frequent outages and performance issues during peak usage periods such as student enrollment. The source of the problem being a private cloud provider with rigid infrastructure limitations that could not fully accommodate the usage demands for FSCJ’s hosted PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, HCM, Finance, and Portal applications. This resulted in frustration and a diminished student user experience. This resulted in frustration and a diminished student user experience.
FSCJ engaged the ERPA team to discuss current challenges, explore other cloud solutions, and prioritize future technology initiatives, business requirements, and scoping considerations. Our team rearchitected the way in which the PeopleSoft applications and Oracle database were hosted and the workloads were managed.
FSCJ experienced immediate improvements in responsiveness, stability, and overall performance. The subsequent student registration, benefits enrollment, and fiscal year-end periods went smoothly, and FSCJ gained the ability to scale up capacity quickly to meet workload demands. As an added benefit, the reduced total cost of ownership and overall enhancements have optimized costs for the PeopleSoft applications.
