Business Challenges
- Storage Scalability & Cost Efficiency – Faced with the need for frequent storage expansion to support business growth, Toyota Boshoku do Brasil was confronting the dual challenges of managing costs and adapting to technical changes. This situation necessitated a flexible storage solution that could scale without disproportionate expenses.
- Risk Management & Disaster Recovery – Running the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) on local servers without a disaster recovery plan exposed Toyota Boshoku do Brasil to significant business continuity risks.
- Infrastructure Modernization – The existing EBS was deployed on BareMetal servers, necessitating a complex migration to retire aging hardware. This presented an opportunity for modernization but also required careful planning to avoid disruptions and additional hardware investments.

By harnessing the expertise of Oracle’s leading database and ERP professionals, we provided a seamless transition to the cloud, enabling dynamic resource allocation and scalability.

This strategic overhaul introduced high-performance computing resources and flexible cloud storage options, thereby eliminating the need for physical hardware investment.
