Business challenges

Improve speed and robustness of the company’s ERP system supporting financial management, inventory, order management, purchasing, and electrical equipment repair services

Solve backup issues that were forcing the company to shut its ERP system down every evening

Prevent failure of links between points of sale (POS) and inventory applications during transactions, which slow down services for customers

Make it easier for Partener SRL to scale up IT capacity and support plans for opening new retail stores across Romania

Reduce cost of deployment and maintenance of Partener SRL’s infrastructure and database platform by moving from an on-premises solution to the cloud

Why SC Partener SRL Chose Oracle

“We evaluated Amazon, Microsoft, and a number of local solutions. We chose Oracle because it provided everything we needed in one package and was technologically superior.”
—Cezar Baisanu, IT Director, SC Partener SRL

Results

Reduced infrastructure costs by 80% per year  compared to on-premises implementation, slashed energy costs by 75%, and eliminated hardware maintenance and air conditioning costs 

Solved critical backup issues—where the ERP system would be shut down for 10 to 12 hours each night for scheduled backups—and potential loss of transactional data by deploying Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service, which delivers a full backup every hour without interrupting day-to-day operations

Improved ERP performance by using virtual servers on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, optimally supporting retail operations and eliminating previous unsatisfactory hardware performance that resulted in long response times

Improved compute and database performance by migrating to the most advanced Oracle virtual servers available, ensuring stability of POS and inventory applications and making sure that sales are no longer lost or delayed due to system downtime

Provided a platform for future expansion by making it easier to deploy more servers cost-effectively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, since new servers can be deployed in minutes rather than weeks—increasing flexibility and scalability

Reduced cost of IT infrastructure to support Partener’s growth plans to open several more retail stores in Romania and provide investment capital for further streamlining operations and improving customer experience
