Case Study: Deutsche Telekom achieves 3x faster BI reporting with Oracle Exalytics and Oracle Essbase

Deutsche Telekom Experiences Tremendous Speed Improvement in Generating Critical Business Intelligence Reports with Engineered Systems

Deutsche Telekom, a global integrated-communications leader serving millions of mobile, landline, and broadband customers, needed to replace end-of-life OLAP hardware with a standardized, scalable architecture to speed up critical business intelligence tasks. The company sought faster cross-functional management reporting, real-time KPI monitoring for finance and operations, and cost-effective technical support to avoid unplanned downtime and support growing BI demands.

Deutsche Telekom deployed Oracle Exalytics and upgraded to Oracle Essbase, supported by Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services, to create a high-performance analytics platform. The change delivered timely insight into over 3,000 KPIs for 300+ controllers and managers, improved data retrieval by 33% and halved load times, boosted calculation, upload, and validation speeds by 300–400%, and made cube restructuring eight times faster—enabling faster report generation, effective self-service reporting, and greater decision transparency.
