From On-Premise to Cloud: how to migrate Oracle Hyperion without service disruption?

In brief

Your EPM environments deserve better than aging hosting. We explain how it’s done and why it makes all the difference.

Your infrastructure costs are rising. Maintaining your environments Oracle Hyperion environments. And every time you upgrade, it’s a project within a project.

You’re not alone. Whether you’re a CIO, CFO or EPM manager, most of our customers are asking the same questions: can you move to the cloud with On-Premise EPM? Is it cheaper? Can someone manage it for us?

The answer to all three questions is yes. And that’s exactly what we do at SQORUS.

1. The problem: your On-Premise EPM is costing you more and more

If you are still running your EPM environments on an On-Premise or traditional hosting provider, you are probably faced with several realities:

  • Rising hosting and licensing costs, sometimes without warning
  • A rigid infrastructure: to scale up, you have to buy equipment
  • Heavy maintenance to be managed in-house or delegated to several service providers
  • Security and compliance risks increasingly difficult to cover
  • Lack of a solid disaster recovery plan in the event of a major problem

The result: you pay more for a service that doesn’t evolve, and every upgrade project becomes a construction site.

    2. The solution: migrate your EPM environments to the cloud

    At SQORUS, we made this choice for our own customers. We migrated their Oracle Hyperion EPM environments to the cloud: consolidation, planning, analytics, data integration… all in a turnkey, managed approach.

    The principle is simple: we take your environment as it is. We migrate it to the cloud of your choice. In IaaS mode, we offer dedicated OVH physical servers. In PaaS mode, we deploy on hyperscalers: Azure, OCI, AWS or GCP, depending on your context and IT strategy.

    Once the migration is complete, we operate it for you: maintenance, supervision, support, a single point of contact.

    The complete process :

    • Audit: analysis of your existing EPM environment, constraints and requirements
    • Architecture: designing the right cloud solution for your context
    • Landing Zone deployment: building the target infrastructure, setting up monitoring and backups
    • Transformation & Migration: gradual switchover of your services with rollback possible at any time
    • Application adaptation: post-migration functional and technical adjustments
    • Final acceptance and delivery: full validation before release for production

    You don’t need to be a cloud expert, that’s our core business.

    3. What’s in it for you?

    Less cost, less risk, less burden on your teams. And a better-running EPM environment.

    4. How does an Oracle Hyperion migration to the cloud work?

    Avant (On-Premise)Après (Cloud managé par SQORUS)
    Coûts en hausse, peu prévisibles Coûts optimisés, modèle à la consommation
    Infrastructure rigide, évolutions lentes Scalabilité à la demande en quelques minutes
    Plusieurs prestataires à coordonner Un seul interlocuteur : SQORUS
    Sécurité dépendante de votre configuration Sécurité intégrée, conformité RGPD, données en Europe
    PRA complexe et coûteux Plan de reprise intégré et contractualisé
    Maintenance réactive Supervision proactive et alertes

    No big bang. Migration is carried out in stages, with validation at each step, and with no interruption to service. This process has been tried and tested during several customer migrations, and is now mastered from start to finish, with each stage tested in real-life conditions.

    Build phase :

    • Audit : we analyze your existing EPM environment, your constraints and your needs (included in the cost of migration).
    • Architecture : we design the right cloud solution for you, with a clear budget estimate (FinOps approach).
    • Deployment of the Landing Zone: we build the target infrastructure and set up monitoring and backups.
    • Transformation & Migration: we switch over your services progressively, with the possibility of rollback at any time (Cutover / Go-Live).
    • Application adaptation: post-migration functional and technical adjustments
    • Final acceptance and delivery: full validation before release for production

    Run phase :

    Operations: we operate your environment on a day-to-day basis, providing maintenance, supervision and support (MCO, TMT and TMA).

    You retain control over decisions. We manage execution and operations

    Why trust us with your Oracle Hyperion migration?

    Many players know how to do cloud. Very few know Oracle Hyperion. We do both.

    • Recognized EPM expertise for over 15 years: that’s our core business. We know every nook and cranny of these environments.
    • A multi-cloud and hybrid cloud approach (OVH, OCI, Azure, AWS and GCP): we guide you towards the platform best suited to your strategy, constraints and business objectives.
    • A complete managed service (SmartCloud), after migration, we manage everything: maintenance, updates, monitoring, support (MCO/TMT and TMA).
    • A single point of contact for applications and infrastructure, to avoid transferring responsibility between service providers.

    When you entrust us with your EPM platforms, you benefit from a turnkey solution and a multi-cloud / hybrid cloud approach that adapts to your strategy. You don’t have to worry about it.

    And beyond EPM, SQORUS supports its customers in all their digital transformation challenges.

    FAQ

    K

    How long does it take to migrate Oracle Hyperion to the cloud?

    The duration varies according to the complexity of your EPM environment, the number of applications involved and the integrations in place. One thing is certain: our phased approach (audit, architecture, Landing Zone deployment, migration, application adaptation and acceptance) allows us to structure the project with clear milestones and controlled deadlines. The initial audit, included in the cost of the migration, is there to establish a budget and schedule estimate from the outset.

    Do in-house teams need to upgrade their cloud skills to make it work?

    No. And that's just one of the key advantages of the SmartCloud by SQORUS managed service. You don't need to be a cloud expert: our teams take charge of the entire operation, including maintenance, supervision, support and upgrades.
