PeopleSoft on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
CHW’s PeopleSoft environment was running on aging on-premises hardware with no effective disaster recovery solution. The clock was running out on vendor support, and the risks were stacking up.
The Challenge
CHW’s IT team was dealing with end-of-life hardware and software that no longer received active vendor support. That meant security vulnerabilities, software compatibility issues, compliance exposure, degraded performance, and rising support costs. Their on-premises data center also lacked a reliable disaster recovery solution, leaving critical systems exposed.
The Solution
Mythics migrated CHW’s PeopleSoft environment to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using a rapid lift-and-shift approach that preserved existing configurations, minimizing disruption. Before the migration, Mythics spent several days on-site training CHW’s team in OCI and PeopleSoft Cloud Manager so they could confidently manage the new environment once it was live.
After the migration, Mythics built a library of automated test scripts using PeopleSoft Test Framework, giving CHW a consistent, repeatable way to validate testing across environments.
Services provided:
- PeopleSoft Migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

The Results
CHW’s IT team went from managing aging infrastructure to staying current with PeopleSoft updates and contributing to projects that matter to the business. The migration also delivered a reliable disaster recovery solution for the first time.
Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin was recognized as a 2023 PeopleSoft Innovator by Oracle.
