Report
Summary
The City utilizes Oracle's PeopleSoft Human Capital Management system to manage human resource functions, as well as payroll. This is a critical system to the operations of the City. In June, 2016, the City Auditor Department conducted an audit of the disaster recovery capabilities of the system. The audit recommended implementation of a more robust disaster recovery program to ensure payroll continues in the event of a disaster. This request is to utilize Oracle's cloud services for this functionality. Cloud services will allow the City to synchronize data and applications with the on-premise database and application servers. It provides an expedited recovery time in the event of a disaster. The solution does not require the City to purchase any additional database licenses.
