Case Study: Cerner achieves higher performance and staff satisfaction with Oracle Exadata

Cerner Focuses on Innovation and Retains Staff with Greater Satisfaction

Cerner, a healthcare IT company, needed to keep business-critical applications available 24/7, improve performance, and reduce the complexity of managing sensitive data across its global operations. After selecting Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Cerner also turned to Oracle Platinum Services to address concerns about support and to free its team from time-consuming infrastructure tasks.

Oracle Exadata and Oracle Platinum Services delivered 24/7 monitoring, quarterly patching, and proactive support, helping Cerner focus more on innovation and staff development. The results included better system performance—60% faster PeopleSoft Financials batch processing, 80% faster PeopleSoft Human Capital Management batch processing, and 40% better Oracle Data Warehouse report performance—along with time saved, fewer vendor issues, improved employee satisfaction, and stronger retention.
