Case Study
Overview
A leading enterprise Treasury Tech company based in India provides end-to-end digitization and automation solutions for cash and liquidity management, Treasury, Risk, and Trade Finance Management (TRTFM). Their platform enables businesses to automate financial operations, improve control, mitigate risks, and optimize efficiency.
Business Challenge
The company provided an on-premises Treasury Management System (TMS) running on Oracle Database, offering licenses to customers as part of its solution. However, rising infrastructure and licensing costs prompted them to explore alternative database solutions, including cloud migration. Initial considerations involved restructuring the application for lower-cost databases on AWS or Azure, but these options posed significant inefficiencies, risks, and high costs.
Oracle Cloud Solution
- The IT Solutions team proposed Oracle Database Cloud Services (DBCS) as a cost-effective and scalable SaaS-based solution. OCI provided optimized performance for Oracle workloads and DBCS offered a managed compute and storage infrastructure, reducing costs through flexible subscription pricing and Bring Your Own License (BYOL) options.
- Following a successful performance test, the company found OCI’s performance superior to their on- premises setup. As a result, they chose Oracle DBCS to streamline deployment, eliminate upfront investments in database infrastructure, and expand their SaaS offerings.
