Case Study: Cytiva Achieves Faster, More Scalable Oracle Cloud Operations with Centroid

Cytiva saves over $6 million and boosts batch performance by 60% with Centroid

Cytiva, a global provider of biopharma technologies, faced a significant challenge after its acquisition from GE. Its extensive Oracle E-Business Suite operations were hosted in GE's data centers, incurring nearly $5 million in annual fees and lacked the scalability needed for its aggressive growth strategy. The company partnered with Centroid to migrate its systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using Exadata Cloud Service to achieve independence and support expansion.

Centroid executed a two-phase migration, first moving the application tier to OCI and then the databases to Exadata Cloud Service. This rapid 9.5-month project saved Cytiva over $6 million in fees and an additional $1 million annually in hardware costs. The move resulted in a 60% performance improvement and provided the scalability and flexibility needed to quickly support new business opportunities, solidifying Cytiva's position as the largest operating company within its parent organization.
