Case Study: Makro Atacadista achieves 30% lower infrastructure costs and greater business agility with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Makro boosts retail business agility and reduces costs with Oracle Cloud

Makro Atacadista, a wholesale and retail food company operating across South America, needed a more flexible infrastructure to speed up project delivery and support regional growth, as its on-premises environment was too limited to provision larger resources quickly. The company chose Oracle, using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Exadata Cloud Service to overcome hardware constraints and reduce costs.

Oracle helped Makro migrate key back-office applications and databases to OCI, including Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Retail, while consolidating 45 database servers. The result was a 30% reduction in total cost of ownership, hardware provisioning in just a few clicks instead of 15 to 40 days, improved disaster recovery and data security, and stronger operational efficiency and competitiveness.
