Case Study: Bellevue University achieves scalable, secure IT and reduced costs with Oracle Managed Cloud Services

Bellevue University Leverages Cloud Solution to Improve Educational and Back-End System Functionality While Reducing Costs

Bellevue University, a private non‑profit in Nebraska serving more than 10,000 students with a focus on adult and online education, needed to modernize its back‑end systems to support growth while “doing more with what you have.” The university’s challenges included deploying and maintaining a scalable, secure application platform, reducing the number of systems, freeing IT staff from routine management to focus on strategic projects, and building a collaborative provider partnership rather than a traditional vendor relationship.

Bellevue deployed Oracle PeopleSoft via Oracle Managed Cloud Services, consolidating systems (eliminating four) and leveraging more built‑in functionality to lower costs and streamline processes. The managed service delivered a highly available, secure environment with disaster recovery, cut planned outage time by 50%, boosted IT productivity and reputation, enabled seamless integration with on‑premises and third‑party systems, and freed the internal team to focus on strategic initiatives.
