Case Study: Securitas Direct achieves real-time processing of 1.7 million daily alarms and faster market expansion with Oracle

Securitas Direct España Processes More Than 1.7 Million Alarm Signals Daily—Improves Ability to Support New Products and Move into New Markets

Securitas Direct España is a leading provider of home and business security (700,000 customers in Spain, 1.6 million across Europe and Latin America) and the company behind the Verisure smart‑home platform. It needed to monitor and correlate more than a million customer devices and process millions of alarm events daily, support web, mobile and headless device access, improve real‑time detection and response, and accelerate time‑to‑market for new products and international expansion while keeping IT costs under control.

Securitas Direct migrated from a VMware/peer‑to‑peer stack to a centrally managed Oracle platform (Oracle SOA Suite, WebLogic, Database, Coherence, Oracle VM/ Linux, etc.) in phased service moves validated by a rapid proof‑of‑concept. The new architecture now handles 1.7M+ daily signals across seven countries, enables IoT integrations (sensor‑triggered video recording), cuts latency by several seconds, speeds time‑to‑market from months to weeks, simplifies subsidiary onboarding, and reduces operational and hardware costs through standardized, service‑oriented infrastructure.
