Case Study: Mahindra Comviva achieves 5x cost reduction and 50x performance boost with Oracle MySQL Enterprise Edition

Mahindra Comviva Lowers Customers’ Project Costs by 5x with Oracle

Mahindra Comviva, a Tech Mahindra subsidiary that provides mobility solutions to more than 150 operators across 95 countries, needed to support rapid global growth for business‑critical applications such as messaging, customer value management and digital lifestyle services. The company faced challenges to improve performance and scalability, ensure high availability and minimize customer disruption, eliminate data‑loss risk, and lower implementation costs for customers in price‑sensitive markets.

After a successful proof of concept, Mahindra Comviva deployed MySQL Enterprise Edition (in under a day) to replace legacy MySQL Community Edition, gaining replication with automatic failover, point‑in‑time recovery, and proactive monitoring. The move cut customers’ hardware and licensing costs by 5x, boosted application performance by up to 50x (supporting ~4,000 TPS), ensured SLAs and uninterrupted service, and provided scalable growth (handling databases from 1.2 TB toward 17 TB) while delivering the project on time and on budget.
