Case Study: Brickworks achieves greater business agility with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Brickworks boosts business agility with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Brickworks, an Australia-based building materials manufacturer, needed to modernize a 25-year-old customized ERP environment to improve financial reporting, scale more easily, strengthen security, and support business continuity across Australia and the United States. The company also faced high maintenance costs, slow ETL processes, and the need for better integration with on-premises sales, payroll, and supply chain systems.

Oracle helped Brickworks deploy JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, supported by Oracle Enterprise Database Service, OCI FastConnect, and Oracle Data Guard. The solution unified operations on a single ERP platform, sped up server provisioning, enabled on-demand scaling, improved disaster recovery and 24/7 availability, and gave finance a single source of truth for faster reconciliations and easier audit trails. Brickworks reported measurable gains including support for 1,000-plus active users, less time spent on monthly management reporting, and an optimized supply chain with lower disruption risk.
