Oracle Applications Services

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is seeking a partner to provide a range of support and development services for our Oracle-based applications, which consist of our Student Information System (SIS) (which uses Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus Solutions product) and Staff Infobase (aka EBS) (which uses Oracle E-Business suite R12.2). • The Student Information System underpins the full student lifecycle from recruitment and admissions, to enrolment, examinations, results, progression, and graduation. It is the single source of truth for core student information and provides data to many other systems and services for operational and reporting purposes. It is arguably the most important system within LJMU. • Staff Infobase underpins our employee HR system and our Finance and Procurement processes. It is embedded within the working practises of all roles and is integrated with multiple systems and platforms, making it another key system for the university. Consequently, the University is seeking a partner with extensive functional and technical experience of both the PeopleSoft Campus Solutions product and Oracle EBusiness Suite to work collaboratively with LJMU technical and business teams to support and develop the platforms. This will be for a multi-year support and development arrangement. It is essential that partners can demonstrate proven, credible experience with the Campus Solutions product within a UK HE establishment (and provide references for this) as part of their submission, as well as credible public sector-level experience of supporting the Oracle E-Business Suite of applications. In addition, the university requires a consultancy exercise to inform us on the feasibility, technical challenges, and costs (one off and on-going) of a migration exercise of the on-premises Oracle infrastructure which supports both products to a cloud-based platform, which IT Services will then run and maintain within an IaaS model.
