About
PeopleSoft Expertise. AWS Innovation. 28 Years of Results.
TBGI is a PeopleSoft applications, Oracle database, and AWS infrastructure managed services firm based in Mesa, Arizona. We’ve been helping universities and public sector organizations run PeopleSoft better since 1998 — first on premise, now in the AWS cloud using our proprietary platform, Envy.
About Us
TBGI has been providing PeopleSoft services since 1998, first locally, then nationwide. We started with PeopleSoft development consulting, expanded into environment management services in 2006, and completed our first AWS migration in 2015. Today managed services represent the vast majority of our business.
We currently manage 210+ PeopleSoft environments across four major universities — the University of Arizona, Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, Washington State University and Boise State University — and are actively expanding our higher education client base.
TBGI has two proprietary products: Envy Managed Services and Envy Subscription.
Envy Managed Services is TBGI’s fully managed PeopleSoft environment management service for the AWS cloud. TBGI manages every layer of your PeopleSoft stack — infrastructure, application servers, Oracle database, monitoring, patching, backups, and disaster recovery — under a single fixed monthly fee, using our proprietary Envy platform.
Envy is the engine behind everything we do. It launches a complete PeopleSoft environment in 40 minutes, refreshes a database in 45, terminates an environment in 15, and backs one up in 10. Every environment is 100% scripted, perfectly consistent, and entirely ephemeral — including production. Non-production environments shut down automatically during nights and weekends and relaunch before the business day begins, delivering substantial AWS cost savings.
TBGI serves as your single point of contact for everything inside your AWS VPC. No split-vendor gray areas, no slow escalation chains. We currently manage 210+ PeopleSoft environments and have completed nine PeopleSoft migrations to AWS with zero post-go-live issues.
Envy Subscription is TBGI’s platform for institutions that want the power of Envy without the full managed services wrapper. Your team manages your PeopleSoft environments in the AWS cloud using TBGI’s automation platform on a monthly subscription basis. You retain full control of and responsibility for your PeopleSoft application — Envy handles the infrastructure automation.
With Envy Subscription your team can launch, terminate, scale, back up, and refresh environments on demand or on a schedule, from a web console, CLI, or API. Non-production environments can be scheduled to shut down during nights and weekends and relaunch before business hours, delivering the same AWS cost savings our managed services clients enjoy. Every build uses the same scripted process, keeping your environments perfectly consistent across your entire stack.
TBGI supports and maintains the Envy platform. Your team runs it.
PeopleSoft Application, Oracle Database, AWS Infrastructure Services
On-Premise PeopleSoft Environment Management
TBGI provides environment management services for PeopleSoft implementations running on premise. We standardize your environments based on proven best-practice configurations, automate routine processes wherever possible, and manage your web, application, batch, and database servers on your behalf. Whether your environments live in your own data center or a co-location facility, TBGI brings the same discipline and operational rigor we apply to our AWS-hosted clients.
PeopleSoft Enhancements
TBGI provides PeopleSoft HCM, Campus Solutions, and FMS enhancement development services on a fixed monthly retainer. Our developers work alongside your internal team, delivering new functionality, configuration changes, and application enhancements at your pace and to your specifications. Each project is scoped, documented, tested, and delivered according to your existing change management practices. TBGI's development team has completed thousands of enhancement projects across 28 years in the PeopleSoft ecosystem.
Customizations Retrofitting & Production Support
Every PeopleSoft upgrade cycle requires retrofitting your customizations against Oracle's delivered changes — a painstaking process that consumes significant staff time and carries real risk if not done carefully. TBGI manages the entire retrofit process, identifying conflicts between your custom code and Oracle-delivered objects, resolving them efficiently, and validating the results before promotion to production. We also provide 24/7/365 production support for PeopleSoft application issues, with defined response and resolution time commitments for every severity level.
Oracle Database Managed Services
TBGI provides Oracle database administration services for PeopleSoft and other Oracle-based applications, both on premise and in the AWS cloud. Services include database backup and recovery, patching and critical patch updates, performance monitoring and tuning, database refreshes, disaster recovery, and issue resolution. TBGI's database administrators have deep experience with Oracle RDBMS in PeopleSoft environments and understand the specific performance and configuration requirements that PeopleSoft demands from its database tier.
Application Migration to AWS & Ongoing Managed Services
TBGI migrates enterprise applications from on-premise infrastructure to the AWS cloud and provides ongoing managed services following migration. Our AWS migration practice is built on Envy — the same proprietary platform that powers our managed services — which means the migration itself uses the same architecture and tooling that will manage your environments afterward. There is no separate migration fee; migration is a standard deliverable under TBGI's managed services engagement. TBGI has completed eight PeopleSoft application migrations for three universities with zero post-go-live issues, and currently manages the resulting environments on an ongoing basis. As an AWS Advanced Tier Partner and RDS Service Delivery Partner, TBGI is eligible to apply for AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) funding on behalf of qualifying clients, which can significantly offset migration costs.
