Case Study: Mankind Pharma achieves 8x faster app deployments and major cost savings with Oracle Platform as a Service

Mankind Pharma Deploys Applications 8x Faster, Cuts Capital Expenditures by US$25,000 and Storage Costs by US$6,000 with Platform as a Service

Mankind Pharma, founded in 1995 and now one of India’s top-five pharmaceutical firms with ~11,000 employees and operations in 15 countries, needed to speed global sales-application training and new-application deployments, improve database performance for ~12,000 users, and support growth beyond a 500 GB capacity limit.

By moving to Oracle Database Cloud Service and Oracle Database In‑Memory 12c (Platform as a Service), Mankind cut capital expenditure by US$25,000 and storage costs by ~US$6,000 (achieving ~90% compression), deployed applications up to 8x faster and launched training environments in 2 days (vs. up to 8 weeks), produced reports 11x faster (2.5 vs 28 minutes), reduced daily call-entry time to 1 minute (from 6), restored databases 5x faster, and completed migration in under a month—freeing IT to focus on innovation and eliminating overseas infrastructure and tape-based backups.
