Case Study: Depa Group achieves 3x lower total cost of ownership and dramatically faster ERP reporting with Oracle Database Appliance

Depa Group Strengthens Competitiveness in the Global Interior Solutions Market

Depa Group, a Dubai‑based specialist in high‑end interior solutions for hospitality, residential, retail and superyacht projects, faced growing pressure from new competitors and rising internal demand for faster, more reliable business systems. Its Oracle E‑Business Suite on aging Itanium HP hardware suffered long report times, payroll delays and multi‑vendor support headaches, limiting the company’s ability to win tenders and innovate.

Depa migrated to Oracle Database Appliance (with Oracle BI and Premier Support), simplifying its IT backbone and restoring database availability. The move delivered dramatic ERP performance and reliability gains—bills of quantities run 12x faster, payroll and cash‑flow reporting 3x faster and cost/bank re‑consolidation 6x faster—while enabling executive dashboards, near‑zero downtime, a two‑day migration with minimal disruption, and a 3x reduction in total cost of ownership.
