Case Study: World Kinect Corporation Achieves $2.7M Savings and 20% Performance Uplift with Sutherland Global Services’ Oracle Cloud Migration to AWS

World Kinect Corporation saves $2.7M and boosts performance 20% with Sutherland Global Services

Sutherland Global Services collaborated with World Kinect Corporation, a prominent global energy management firm, to address significant challenges posed by its aging, unsupported on-premise Oracle infrastructure. The client's legacy Solaris systems introduced security vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and high maintenance costs, while also lacking the scalability needed to support modern agile development and future growth initiatives.

The solution implemented by Sutherland involved a structured three-phase approach: re-platforming Oracle workloads to Linux, modernizing and refactoring applications, and finally executing a "lift-and-shift" migration to AWS Cloud. This resulted in $2.7 million in cost savings and a 20% improvement in system performance for World Kinect Corporation, providing a more resilient, scalable, and cost-optimized IT foundation.
