Case Study: Sigma Electric achieves 30% infrastructure cost savings and near-zero downtime with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Sigma Electric cuts infrastructure costs 30% with Oracle Cloud

Sigma Electric is a vertically integrated manufacturer of electrical fittings with 10 plants in India and Mexico and a large U.S. distribution and technical center near Raleigh, NC. Its ERP, supply chain, and demand-planning systems are critical to planning production and delivery, but hosting on Rackspace caused frequent operational glitches and multi-hour outages that disrupted deliveries and consumed IT resources.

Sigma migrated its Oracle JD Edwards ERP and Service Optimizer 99 SCM and forecasting apps to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in 6–8 weeks, going live ahead of schedule with no data loss. The move cut downtime to almost zero, reduced infrastructure costs by 25–30%, improved performance by 20–25%, accelerated financial close cycles and near-real-time reporting, and freed IT to focus on digitizing manufacturing.
