Case Study: Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional achieves faster deployment and $150K+ cost savings with Oracle Database Cloud Service

Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional Shares Business Gains with Oracle Platform as a Service

Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional is one of Brazil’s largest private education groups, serving about 170,000 students with 5,000 staff across multiple campuses. After a string of acquisitions, the IT team needed a disaster-recovery capable, highly automated platform that could speed deployment of new services, adapt to changing business needs, and avoid large upfront infrastructure and licensing costs.

By adopting Oracle Database Cloud Service (PaaS), Cruzeiro do Sul gained a secure, scalable production environment that reduced database provisioning from days or weeks to minutes or hours. The move saved more than US$150,000 in the first year by eliminating licensing and on‑premises infrastructure expenses, freed IT to focus on strategic work, and delivered the reliability and agility required to support the group’s rapid growth.
