BUNDLED UPGRADE BUSINESS CASE CAMPUS SOLUTIONS 9.2 Interaction Hub rev3 Oracle 12C 8.55 PEOPLETOOLS

Rev. 08/18/2015 TABLE OF CONTENTS

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Oracle will stop support for our existing PeopleSoft Campus Solutions version 9.0 December 2019. Therefore, CWU must upgrade to maintain support and align our upgrade paths in sync with future Oracle/PeopleSoft versions. This upgrade will also put us in a position to leverage new and improved functionality within the PeopleSoft software. Because there are dependencies related to the Campus Solutions 9.2 Upgrade, we are including upgrades to PeopleTools, Oracle Database, and finally an upgrade to MyCWU. This packaged effort allows for our enterprise application customers to utilize new features in a consolidated timeline which significantly saves resources and money. Separating these upgrades out individually would take 4 times longer, cost at least 4 times as much, and prolong the impact on our customers.

Change to a Business Process.

1. Problem Definition

1. Oracle will drop vendor support for our existing Campus Solutions 9.0 version of PeopleSoft December 2019. We must be on their latest release version 9.2 prior to this date in order to ensure federal and state compliance.

2. A pre-requisite for upgrading to Campus Solutions version 9.2 is PeopleTools 8.54 or higher. We are currently on PeopleTools version 8.53 and must upgrade our toolset in order to support the applications.

3. Oracle will drop vendor support for our existing database version 11.2.0.4 January 2018. We must be on version 12C prior to this date.

4. CWU’s current version of the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub is not mobile friendly. To fully take advantage of the 8.55 PeopleTools upgrade, we need to upgrade our Interaction Hub (portal).

2. Addressing Problem with CWU existing tools, services and products (i.e. PeopleSoft)

There are no existing tools that CWU owns that could replace these products.

3 3. Organizational Impact

 All Stakeholders

All MyCWU users (students, alumni, staff, and faculty) Information Services Service Desk Information Services Enrollment Management Student Success Division Business & Financial Affairs Division Operations Division Change Management

 Potential Partners/Primary Users

All MyCWU users

4. CWU Benefits Information Services continues to maintain our investment with Oracle/PeopleSoft by ensuring ongoing vendor support and system enhancement. This project will ensure that CWU is in good standing with support and maintenance of our enterprise systems. This upgrade could be delayed until 2017, but there are features and benefits that would serve us well for years to come. These improvements include standardizing the way application updates are delivered and providing a new framework that allows pages to be mobile friendly.

5. Strategic Alignment

Objective 5.4: Provide the facility and technology infrastructure and services appropriate to meet the university objectives, while maximizing sustainability and stewardship.

Outcome 5.4.3: Provide the technology infrastructure, systems, and campus services necessary for all departments to achieve their objectives and the objectives of the university.

6. Cost and Budget Projections

 Source of Funding (Speedtype) and Description of the Source of Funding.

None identified at this time. Information Services annual budget is not funded for these upgrades, nor can they be absorbed without causing a significant deficient in the budget.

 Cost Breakdown

Below are various options to be evaluated and determine what option best meets the needs of this request.

4 1. Moderate Consultant Approach Lab Upgrade:

Lab Upgrade Fees $404,320.00 Consulting (full-time) $783,360.00 Total $1,187,680.00

This proposal includes 2 full-time consulting resources on-site for 12 months. One consultant would fill a project manager role and the other would provide technical consultation for the upgrades.

2. Consultant Light Approach:

Lab Upgrade Fees $404,320.00 Consulting (20% of the project) $274,176.00 Total $577,579.00

This proposal includes 2 consulting resources on-site for partial project support. One consultant would fill a project manager role 20% of the project and the other would provide 6 months of technical consultation for the upgrades.

3. No consulting resources, augment CWU project management and technical staff:

Lab Upgrade Fees $404,320.00 Augmented staff (full-time) $190,600.00 Total $594,920.00

This proposal includes 2 full-time CWU temporary resources on-site for 12 months. One resource would fill a project manager role and the other would provide technical augmentation for the upgrades.

4. No on-site consulting assistance or augmented staff:

Lab Upgrade Fees $404,320.00 No Consulting $0.00 Total $404,320.00

5 This proposal includes no consulting assistance or augmentation of CWU staff during these upgrades.

7. Alternatives

Alternative Reasons For Not Selecting Alternative Delay until 2017 Delaying upgrades always present risks in not staying current with the latest and greatest functionality. We would also be pushing the timeframe very close to Oracle’s end of support for Campus Solutions 9.0

8. Timing / Schedule (add lines as necessary)

Task Target Date Sign Statement of Work for Lab Upgrade with Sierra-Cedar October 2015 Start upgrades July 1st, 2016 Go-live July 1st, 2017

9. Technology Migration

Sierra-Cedar Lab will be leading the 4 core upgrades and migrating all data to the upgraded environments. CWU staff will assist in data validation and testing throughout this process; however the majority of the upgrade work is completed by Sierra-Cedar.
