This paper presents a comprehensive study of the digital transformation plan for migrating legacy PeopleSoft systems to Oracle Cloud environments, with a particular focus on workflow-centric strategies. As enterprises strive to modernize their IT infrastructures, the challenge of transitioning from traditional on-premise solutions to scalable cloud environments becomes crucial. This paper explores the steps, best practices, and critical considerations involved in the migration of PeopleSoft systems into Oracle Cloud. It synthesizes existing literature on digital transformation, cloud computing, and migration strategies while offering a specific workflow-based approach to facilitate a smooth transition. The methodology includes a review of theoretical frameworks, industry case studies, and key reference materials to guide practitioners through the process. The findings emphasize the importance of leadership, agility, and a robust digital strategy in successful cloud migrations. By applying a workflow-centric model, organizations can ensure that their PeopleSoft migration is efficient, cost-effective, and minimizes operational disruption. This research also highlights several challenges and limitations, particularly regarding resource allocation, system compatibility, and the need for organizational alignment. The paper concludes by offering strategic recommendations for businesses looking to embark on this transformation journey.
