Case Study: Sicagen India achieves 50% reduction in IT operating costs and supports expansion with Oracle

Sicagen India Halves IT Operating Costs and Supports Expansion with Oracle

Sicagen India, part of AM International, is a global trading and manufacturing group that sells building materials such as steel pipes, cables, and cement across six countries. Facing fragmentation from spreadsheets and a legacy FoxPro accounting system, lack of integration across 30+ branches and a subsidiary, and heightened risk from events like Chennai flooding, the company needed to secure critical data, eliminate downtime, consolidate financials quickly, and support regional expansion.

Sicagen migrated its Oracle E‑Business Suite to Oracle PaaS and IaaS (including Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service, Compute Classic, and Object Storage Classic) and went live in under 45 days. The move cut data‑center operating costs by 50%, halved IT headcount, reduced the sales cycle from one week to three days, enabled near‑real‑time financial consolidation (vs. four weeks), supported 26% growth in one division, improved data security and availability, and made it fast and simple to onboard acquired businesses.
