Case Study: Universidad Central achieves 15% faster reporting and zero unscheduled downtime with Oracle Database Appliance (Oracle)

Universidad Central Runs Reports 15% Faster With Oracle

Universidad Central, a 50‑year‑old higher education institution in Bogotá with about 10,000 students, faced frequent delays and crashes on its end‑of‑life server that ran the university’s critical financial administrative system and Oracle Database. Reporting required consolidating data from multiple sources and blocked system use, and cloud migration wasn’t possible, so the university needed an on‑premises solution that could be deployed with minimal disruption and strong security.

The university implemented Oracle Database Appliance (with Business Mind handling configuration and knowledge transfer), chosen for its integrated hardware‑and‑database design, storage and processor capacity, security, and scalability. After the move, report generation sped up about 15%, unscheduled downtime dropped to zero, patching and updates are handled centrally, migration was fast due to compatibility, and IT staff shifted from corrective fixes to preventative work and system optimization.
