Case Study: Algar Telecom achieves 5x faster business intelligence and data warehouse access with Oracle Exadata

Algar Telecom Accesses Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse Data 5x Faster, Gains Competitive Advantage

Algar Telecom S.A., a leading Brazilian telecom serving more than 1 million customers with fixed and mobile services, internet, TV and cloud/data-center offerings, faced rapidly growing volumes of billing, customer, and product-line data. The company needed to keep its IT environment current to support business intelligence and data-warehouse workloads and ensure fast access to historical billing records to meet regulatory and business requirements.

Algar upgraded to Oracle Exadata Database Machine with Oracle Advanced Customer Support, enabling 5x faster access to data-warehouse and BI information and producing tax reports five times faster. The solution scaled without extra hardware, supported about 1,000 simultaneous users for cubes and dashboards, streamlined five-year historical data access, sped responses to commercial and regulatory requests, and strengthened Algar’s competitive decision-making.
