As enterprises seek to fully realize the scalability, availability, security, and agility of cloud computing, many are learning that they must migrate core business applications, such finance and human resource systems, not just public-facing websites. The University of Arizona shares how they addressed the challenge of creating a more efficient and agile IT operation. After initial success in migrating their Research Administration system, UA became the first major university to migrate their PeopleSoft application environments—Learning (EL), Human Resources (HR), and Student (SA)—to AWS. Learn about the university's enterprise migration roadmap, lessons learned, plans and budgets, and the tools available to support major enterprise migrations. See how to create a roadmap to cloud computing, transform application development, deploy mission-critical workloads at scale, and retrain staff.
