Challenge
A research institute was running mission-critical Oracle systems—including EBS and PeopleSoft—on unsupported Linux and outdated infrastructure. This led to mounting maintenance issues, performance bottlenecks, and inflated licensing costs. The institute needed to modernize both the application and platform layers to reduce risk and improve system resilience. Key challenges included:
Aging infrastructure causing degraded performance and hardware failures
Unsupported database versions increasing security and compliance risks
High licensing and support costs due to inefficiencies
Complex multi-environment management with inconsistent configurations
Lack of disaster recovery (DR) or high availability (HA) safeguards
Solution
SureStep team members modernized the institute’s Oracle environment through a full-stack upgrade and replatforming initiative. Key actions included:
Upgraded Oracle EBS and PeopleSoft databases to 19c for improved performance, security, and supportability
Migrated applications to new high-performance DELL servers
Transitioned from unsupported Linux to a fully supported OS aligned with Oracle best practices
Tuned database parameters to enhance responsiveness and throughput
Implemented HA architecture to minimize downtime and boost business continuity
Outcome
The institute now operates a modern, stable, and scalable Oracle environment with:
Improved system performance, reliability, and scalability
Lower total cost of ownership through optimized infrastructure and licensing
Full compliance with Oracle support and industry security standards
Streamlined operations and simplified system administration
