Case Study: Swiss Re achieves 40% operational efficiency gains and 80% fewer outages with Oracle Exadata and Oracle Platinum Services

Swiss Re Gains 40% in Operational Efficiency and Reduced Outages by 80%

Swiss Re, a global reinsurer, needed to improve the stability and efficiency of its data warehouse operations while reducing the effort required to monitor, patch, and resolve incidents across a complex infrastructure. After moving its data warehouse to Oracle Exadata, Swiss Re also looked to Oracle Platinum Services to help keep systems current and free its team to focus on higher-value insurance and reinsurance information work.

Oracle Exadata and Oracle Platinum Services delivered a pre-engineered, vendor-tested solution that handled monitoring and patching for Swiss Re’s platform. The results included a 40% increase in operational efficiency, an 80% reduction in outages, and a 50% drop in incidents, while patching time fell from 4–6 months per year to almost zero.
