Case Study: CELSA GROUP achieves 3x faster SAP performance and US$656,000 labor savings with Oracle SuperCluster (Oracle)

CELSA GROUP Improves SAP Enterprise Application Performance 3x, Saves US$ 656,000 in Labor Costs, and Deploys IT Structure to Support Continued Growth

CELSA GROUP, Spain’s largest steel producer with more than 50 companies and operations on five continents, faced recurring ERP downtime that delayed deliveries, risked penalties, and hampered resource planning, financial reporting, and backup reliability across its dispersed entities. The company needed a robust, high-performance IT platform to eliminate outages, speed processes, and ensure zero data loss in emergencies.

CELSA implemented Oracle SuperCluster, Oracle Exadata, and Oracle Active Data Guard with deployment and hosting support from partner BT, migrating in under a day and moving to 24/7 managed infrastructure. The upgrade eliminated ERP downtime to ensure on-time deliveries, tripled ERP speed and backup/query performance, scaled storage for advanced analytics, saved about US$656,000 annually in labor, and enabled planned growth for the next four years without additional IT resources.
