Case Study: Anritsu achieves 351% ROI and $3M annual benefit with Vertica

Anritsu - Customer Case Study

Anritsu, a 120‑year‑old telecommunications company headquartered in Kanagawa with operations in 22 countries, faced rapidly growing data volumes and stricter customer response‑time expectations in its service‑assurance business. Its Oracle-based platform was costly to scale, slow to deploy, and risked customer churn and limited ability to pursue larger tier‑1 operators.

Anritsu replaced Oracle with Vertica, leveraging modular software on commodity servers to scale quickly, run complex analytics faster, and cut hardware/software costs—avoiding over $2M in annual upgrade costs. The change delivered rapid business impact: 351% ROI, four‑month payback, an average annual benefit of ~$3M (cumulative net benefits of $1.7M, $3.9M and $6.9M over three years), a 1:43 cost:benefit ratio, and 96% of benefits realized directly.
