Case Study: Forbes Marshall accelerates patching and boosts compliance with Oracle OCI Fleet Application Management

Forbes Marshall accelerates patching with OCI Fleet Application Management

Forbes Marshall, a global engineering company with a large distributed IT footprint, needed a better way to manage patching across Oracle applications and related infrastructure. Manual processes for WebLogic, Java, Linux, and databases were slow, error-prone, and made it difficult to keep up with ongoing security and compliance requirements, so the company turned to Oracle and OCI Fleet Application Management with support from 1218 Global.

Oracle, through OCI Fleet Application Management, helped Forbes Marshall automate and standardize patching with centralized fleet management, runbooks, and scheduled maintenance windows. The result was patch compliance rising from about 40–50% to over 90% within months, patch cycles shrinking from multiple days to a few hours, and manual effort dropping by an estimated 70%, significantly improving security and IT productivity.
