Case Study: PAAS achieves 15–35% technology spend savings with Oracle Analytics Cloud and Autonomous Database (Oracle)

PAAS clients save on technology expenses with Oracle Cloud

PAAS (Procurement, Analytics, and Strategy) is a global leader in technology-spend analytics that extends clients’ procurement and IT teams to reduce tech costs and speed procurement lifecycles. Facing limits with spreadsheets—manual formatting, poor scalability, security and accuracy concerns, and an inability to reuse data for benchmarking—PAAS sought a robust cloud-based data warehouse to ingest, store, and manage large volumes of spend data.

PAAS implemented Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Database (Autonomous Data Warehouse) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with self-encryption and self-patching to create a single source of truth for ingestion, transformation, analysis, and reporting. The solution eliminated database administration overhead, enabled embedded machine learning and visual dashboards, and uncovered major savings—for one biotech client it identified $85M of unmanaged spend and cut about 35% of that through reduced automated renewals—helping clients typically save 15–30% on technology expenses.
