Case Study: Sonae achieves 5x faster database processing and a smaller footprint with Oracle Exadata

Sonae Reduces Database Footprint and Improves Processing Speeds 5x to Boost Business Efficiency

Sonae, a leading Portuguese company in retail, shopping centers, and telecommunications, needed to reduce its database footprint, speed up batch processing, and improve IT manageability across operations. The company faced delays from overnight processes that could spill into the workday, affecting central functions and store operations. Sonae selected Oracle Exadata to help address these database and efficiency challenges.

Oracle Exadata, with support from Oracle Advanced Customer Support and Tata Consultancy Services, implemented a tailored solution that streamlined database administration and improved performance. As a result, Sonae cut batch processing times by up to 5x, increased database transaction speed by 60%, supported more than 250,000 daily processes, and made data available to over 3,000 users before the workday began.
