Case Study: Maritz achieves 10× performance improvement and faster disaster recovery with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Moved E-Business Suite to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and improved performance by 10-fold

Maritz is a century‑old, privately held provider of sales and marketing services to Fortune 100 companies that ran 27+ on‑premises applications—including Oracle E‑Business Suite—on nine‑year‑old Sun hardware. The aging infrastructure overwhelmed IT staff, caused poor performance and lengthy disaster‑recovery failovers (up to 72 hours), created capacity‑planning and cost-control issues, and risked loss of Solaris/database expertise.

In a nine‑month program with partner Keste, Maritz migrated sandbox, dev/test, production and DR environments for E‑Business Suite and 26+ Oracle‑backed applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The move delivered about 10x performance (some financial jobs fell from 2 hours to 10 minutes), reduced DR time from 72 to 4 hours, lowered infrastructure costs, improved security with encryption at rest, and freed IT to focus on higher‑value work.
