Case Study: a leading biopharmaceutical organization achieves major Oracle migration savings with Tessell

Large Clinical Research Organization Accelerates Data Modernization with Superior Cost Savings

The customer, a leading biopharmaceutical organization, faced the challenge of modernizing its data estate by migrating approximately 400 legacy Oracle databases from its on-premises data centers to Azure. As a large Clinical Research Organization, their goal was to streamline operations and foster innovation, but they needed a way to reduce the high costs associated with Oracle licenses and outsourced support. They engaged Tessell to provide a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution for this migration.

Tessell implemented a comprehensive "Lift & Shine" initiative, which included a detailed discovery, assessment, and a 12-month paid pilot program. This solution enabled the customer to consolidate their applications and databases in the cloud. The results were significant cost savings, exceeding expectations with a reduction of over 30% on Oracle licenses and over 70% on third-party support costs. Tessell's platform and automation capabilities also drastically reduced the organization's reliance on outsourced labor.
