What is a CTA?
Drivestream Cloud Transformation Assessment (CTA) is a highly interactive, informative, and structured workshop that will help HESS member institutions to clarify their strategy, identify business value, and lay out a roadmap for migrating to Oracle Cloud applications. It will help members to determine their overall readiness for migrating to the Oracle cloud.
CTA is one of Drivestream’s Strategy & Advisory service offering with costs that range from $50K to $100K depending on size and complexity of the institution. However, as a special promotion for HESS Consortium members this is being offered at NO COST.
Completing a CTA Workshop is the first step towards a holistic cloud transformation. After completing the workshop, Drivestream will provide a report that:
- Maps current systems (for example: Ellucian/Banner) and processes to the Oracle cloud
- Identifies Oracle modules that will improve current state functions and processes through transformation and adoption of best practices
- Defines the project scope, implementation approach, and project timeline
- Identifies change and provides guidance on optimizing adoption
- Identifies project risks, if any, and provides a mitigation approach based on lessons learned
- Articulates the overall value of the cloud transformation for the member institution
The end result is that HESS members will be well prepared for a successful transformative journey to the Oracle cloud.
