Case Study: Al Jaber Group boosts performance and productivity with Oracle Construction and Engineering

Al Jaber Group Reduces System Response Time by 40%, Boosts DBA Productivity by 40%, and Cuts Period Close to 30 Minutes

Al Jaber Group, a large diversified Abu Dhabi-based conglomerate, needed to improve the availability, performance, and scalability of its JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Primavera P6 environments for 420 employees across contracting, logistics, infrastructure, construction, industrial, and trading operations. Working with Oracle Construction and Engineering, the company also wanted to reduce support costs, minimize customizations, and support 24/7 business demands across its growing portfolio.

Oracle Construction and Engineering helped Al Jaber Group upgrade to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1, migrate from Windows to Oracle Linux, and deploy Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Real Application Clusters, and Oracle Enterprise Manager. The result was a 40% improvement in application response time, 40% higher DBA productivity, a reduction in period close from two to four hours to just 30 minutes, and a 20% reduction in batch processing time, while the full upgrade and migration were completed in just 73 working days.
