Why PeopleSoft Licensees Must Transition Before September 2025

With Rimini Street’s withdrawal from PeopleSoft support, licensees face a critical deadline to find another support provider. Though transitioning support can be time-consuming, it’s essential for your organisation’s continuity, cost control, and operational stability not to delay your move. This blog details the factors in switching to an independent support provider before September 2025 to get ahead of critical updates and potential challenges.

Avoid Gaps in Critical Support and Compliance

PeopleSoft systems require ongoing maintenance, especially for Tax, Legal, and Regulatory (TLR) updates. If you delay your transition, you risk a support gap during a vital period for compliance.

Oracle typically releases major regulatory and tax updates in scheduled PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) images throughout the year, with a key update often released in the fall. Transitioning before September allows your new third-party support provider to take over in time to deliver these critical year-end updates, ensuring compliance and uninterrupted payroll and financial operations. Missing these updates can expose your company to operational disruption and compliance risks.

Ensure a Smooth, Controlled Transition

Transitioning to a new PeopleSoft support provider takes time and requires:

  • Conducting due diligence on potential vendors
  • Aligning on service levels and security protocols
  • Defining TLR requirements
  • Contracting with your new PeopleSoft support provider
  • Receiving and applying TLR updates

Rushing this process increases the risk of missteps, compliance issues, security vulnerabilities, or service interruptions. Starting well before September 2025 gives your team time to manage the transition methodically, ensuring your new provider is fully onboarded and ready to deliver improved, seamless support.

Maintain Business Agility and Control

One of the main benefits of a third-party support provider, like Support Revolution, is regaining control over your PeopleSoft roadmap, free from vendor-imposed upgrade cycles and cost escalations. Delaying your transition risks being forced into rushed decisions or defaulting to less favourable options like returning to costly Oracle support and potential reinstatement fees.

Act Now to Ensure a Seamless PeopleSoft Support Transition

Transitioning to a third-party support provider before September 2025 is critical for PeopleSoft licensees who want to avoid support gaps, maintain compliance, and secure the best possible terms in a rapidly evolving support ecosystem. Early action ensures a smooth, secure, and cost-effective transition—positioning your organisation for stability and success as the PeopleSoft landscape changes.
