Case Study: Southcoast Health achieves greater flexibility, reduced IT costs, and improved PeopleSoft performance with Navisite on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

How Southcoast Health Gained Better Service & Reduced Costs With OCI

Southcoast Health, an affiliation of four hospitals founded in 1996 that also operates cancer centers and urgent care locations serving about 720,000 residents, relied on a large PeopleSoft footprint for finance, supply chain, HR and payroll. Their legacy managed-hosting arrangement imposed rigid processes and long lead times, preventing the IT team from deploying new functionality and forcing weeks‑long waits for tasks that should take days.

Navisite rebuilt Southcoast’s PeopleSoft HCM and finance environments and migrated them to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, completing go‑live in three months and practicing migrations to cut downtime to a half‑day. The move delivered faster refreshes (an eight‑hour window versus a 55‑hour, monthly process with 4–6 weeks’ notice), shorter lead times, resolved application performance issues, reduced costs and restored the flexibility Southcoast needed to pursue strategic application optimization and new digital initiatives.
