Case Study: UK Central Government migrates 40+ Oracle databases to AWS with Version 1

UK Central Government migrates 40+ Oracle databases in 3 hours with Version 1

A UK central government department faced the challenge of migrating over 40 Oracle databases to the cloud in a cost-efficient and timely manner. The department needed to move away from on-premises maintenance and avoid systems becoming out of support, all while ensuring data integrity and making minimal changes to their existing technology stack. They engaged Version 1, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, to leverage its expertise in Oracle and AWS.

Version 1 implemented a solution by hosting the Oracle databases on Amazon EC2 instances, using Infrastructure as Code for automated and repeatable deployments. This approach provided the department with complete database management and direct integration with their existing tools. The results were significant time savings, reducing database provisioning from four weeks to just three hours and cutting post-deployment checks from four hours to twenty minutes. The solution delivered by Version 1 created a highly resilient, secure, and cost-effective environment with the potential for future growth.
