Case Study: Oracle achieves 25% faster batch processing and stronger supply chain control with Oracle Exadata

Oracle Supports Successful Expansion into Hardware Sector with Integrated Value Chain Planning and Analytics

Oracle, the enterprise software and hardware company, faced a major challenge after acquiring Sun Microsystems and expanding into the hardware sector. It needed better control over manufacturing, supply chain planning, and spare-parts operations to maintain customer service, on-time delivery, and efficient execution across its new hardware business.

Oracle Exadata supported the solution by hosting Oracle Value Chain Planning, with Oracle Endeca dashboards providing real-time operational visibility. The results were significant: Oracle reduced work-in-process inventory by US$100 million, cut finished goods inventory by 10%, lowered back orders by 50%, achieved 100% on-time shipment of servers and storage systems, and improved batch-job processing by 25% on Oracle Exadata.
