Case Study: Swiss Mobiliar cuts time-to-market to 4 weeks and boosts database performance with Oracle Database 12.2 (Oracle)

Swiss Mobiliar Boosts Performance by Upgrading its Oracle Databases

Swiss Mobiliar, a leading Swiss insurer with policies in over 30% of Swiss households and businesses, needed to modernize its database infrastructure to maintain its market edge. The company faced a tight timeline to migrate 650 pluggable databases and prepare 350 physical, schema-consolidated databases to Oracle Database 12.2, while also shortening development cycles, enabling self-service database provisioning, and laying groundwork for cloud readiness.

By upgrading to Oracle Database 12.2 and consolidating databases into a multitenant environment, Swiss Mobiliar cut time-to-market for new products from six months to four weeks, reduced provisioning of a development database from a day to 30–50 seconds, and increased application update frequency to four times per month. The migration improved performance and administration (faster cloning, backup/restore, flashback), enabled microservices and finer-grained analytics, and established a cloud-ready foundation.
