Move higher education off aging ERP and student systems — Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Ellucian Banner and Colleague, Jenzabar — to modern cloud ERP and Oracle Fusion, or archive them for FERPA and Title IV retention. Student, financial-aid, finance, HR and admissions data migrated with record-level reconciliation, or retired to a searchable, read-only archive.
Campus technology is under pressure: on-premise ERP and SIS platforms are aging, customization debt has piled up over decades, and roadmaps for legacy suites are uncertain — all while budgets tighten and compliance demands grow. Whether the plan is to move to a modern cloud ERP or to consolidate after a merger, the legacy student, finance and HR data has to go somewhere it can still be used and audited.
On-prem PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Banner and Colleague carry rising licensing, hosting and specialist-staffing costs for platforms built decades ago.
Years of custom code and integrations make legacy systems fragile and expensive to change — a barrier to modernizing student and financial services.
Mergers, system-office standardization and multi-campus consolidation leave several legacy ERPs/SIS behind, each with its own retention clock.
Student and financial-aid records must be retained and protected — so a retiring SIS can’t simply be switched off.
Every domain a college or university runs, mapped to a modern target or a compliant archive:
Move live student, finance, HR and aid data into Oracle Fusion (or your chosen cloud ERP/SIS) — automated extraction, source-to-target mapping and record-level reconciliation, proven across two-plus mock runs before cutover.
Retire the legacy SIS/ERP but keep every record queryable — a secure, read-only archive with self-service reporting for FERPA/Title IV retention, audits and transcript requests, without the legacy license.

Student and financial-aid records carry specific obligations. Migration and archival are designed around FERPA privacy, Title IV retention and transcript rules from the start.
The full higher-ed estate — student/SIS (admissions, enrollment, transcripts), financial aid (Title IV), finance (GL/AP/AR/grants), and HR/payroll — migrated to a modern cloud ERP like Oracle Fusion, or archived when a legacy system is retired.
Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Ellucian Banner, Ellucian Colleague (Datatel), Jenzabar and Workday Student, plus other campus finance and HR systems. Each has its own detailed page.
Both. Migrate the data your new cloud ERP/SIS needs, and archive the rest to a read-only store so you can decommission the legacy system while still meeting FERPA and Title IV retention.
Records stay access-controlled and audit-logged, retained for the applicable FERPA/Title IV windows, with transcripts preserved permanently. See the student data retention & archival guide (general guidance, not legal advice).
Modern options include Oracle Fusion (with a student system), Workday Student, and Ellucian cloud — chosen on fit, cost and roadmap. See the alternatives-to-PeopleSoft-for-universities guide.
