Case Study: Patrick cuts TCO by US$6.8M and completes ERP/HCM migration in 5 months with Oracle Cloud

Patrick reduces IT complexity and saves significant costs with Oracle Cloud

Patrick is an Australian container terminal operator handling more than 3 million TEU across four major ports. After a demerger left the company reliant on legacy PeopleSoft systems from its former parent, Patrick faced a 12‑month deadline to exit that platform, reduce upgrade and maintenance costs, integrate third‑party systems, and eliminate manual processes that were slowing operations.

Patrick implemented Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle EPM Cloud, and Oracle HCM Cloud with Oracle Advanced Customer Services, completing the migration in five months. Oracle developed most of the 20 required integrations in three months and the platform went live two months later, cutting total cost of ownership from US$7 million to US$177,000 (a saving of over US$6.8 million), speeding maintenance and upgrades fourfold, automating up to 4,000 invoices weekly, reducing ticket volume by 40%, and improving reporting, efficiency, and user adoption.
