Case Study: World Wide Technology achieves 4x faster business processes and $1M+ savings with Pythian

Pythian Helps World Wide Technology Perform Massive Database Upgrade and Save $1 Million

World Wide Technology (WWT), an IT company running mission-critical ERP and warehouse operations, had outgrown its existing hardware and needed a platform that could scale, improve availability, and support disaster recovery without disrupting business. WWT turned to Pythian for help with a complex database upgrade and migration using Oracle technologies.

Pythian designed and supported a rapid migration to Oracle Database 11g, moving WWT to a three-node cluster on RedHat Linux with Oracle Automatic Storage Management. The project finished four hours ahead of the 40-hour downtime window and delivered more than $1 million in savings over three years, plus 60% more capacity and business processes running up to 4x faster.
