How Skidmore College Fast-Tracked Their Oracle Cloud Migration With SnapLogic

Skidmore College is one of the top 4-year private liberal arts colleges in America. They have over 2,700 undergraduate students who engage in 44 majors, 19 varsity athletics teams and over 100 student clubs.

Skidmore College wanted to modernize their legacy on-premises systems and move to the Oracle Cloud. This would be a massive undertaking for a small team led by Paul Coleman (Assistant Director, IT) and Tony Kowalick(Assistant Director, Enterprise Systems).

The challenge

Skidmore College had relied on aging servers and software housed on-premises to power its most essential systems. The infrastructure was costly and cumbersome to maintain. Many of their legacy systems had integrations that were difficult to use, didn’t have proper documentation (i.e. hard to troubleshoot and fix) and would require expertise that no longer existed in order to modernize.

Learn how Skidmore College was able to:

• Complete their Oracle cloud migration journey within 9 months
• Reduce hand-coding and do integrations in days instead of weeks
• Easily trained and on boarded employees to SnapLogic within 4 weeks instead of months
