As we all anticipate the fully re-engineered Oracle Cloud Student system, the question arises how universities can start to prepare for the eventual benefits of a SAAS product and potentially make efficiency savings before the new Oracle product is available in the EMEA market. One key incremental step is moving your University’s current on-premises solution to one hosted in the cloud. But what are the pros and cons of such a step and what are the technical issues that need to be considered before such move is made? In this session, we will cover key things to consider when thinking of moving to hosted solution including:•Benefits of migration to the cloud• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) vs Platform as a Service (PaaS)•Impact on patching and upgrades•Impact on existing interfaces •Impacts on business as usual and support•Considerations for maximising ROI •Implementation activities and timelines
