Oracle Customer Success—CELSA GROUP
CELSA GROUP Improves SAP Enterprise Application Performance 3x, Saves US$ 656,000 in Labor Costs, and Deploys IT Structure to Support Continued Growth
ShareOracle SuperCluster gives us peace of mind by eliminating downtime in our business-critical logistics planning and dispatching processes, and it enables our customers to optimize their supply chain, knowing our products are delivered on time and reliably.
Serving industrial customers on five continents and with more than 50 companies operating under its umbrella, CELSA GROUP is the largest steel producer in Spain and one of the largest in Europe. CELSA GROUP is highly diversified in the products the company manufactures—including forged, laminated, and processed steel.
Business Challenge
- Eliminate downtime in the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which lead to delayed deliveries of steel products and expose the company to late penalties and lost business
- Improve IT performance to boost resource planning and financial reporting efficiency across CELSA GROUP’s more than 50 entities
- Optimize backup processes to save time and money while meeting the company’s rigid requirements— that no data be lost in an emergency

- Tripled backup speeds and queries to geographically separate data centers with Oracle Active Data Guard, optimizing IT resources and the time dedicated to managing backups
- Scaled up CELSA GROUP’s data storage capacity, meeting the company’s increasingly demanding requirements to analyze data to find trends and improve efficiency across steel manufacturing operations
- Contracted Oracle partner, BT, to deploy Oracle SuperCluster, ensuring custom pre-implementation planning, same-day migration, and post-implementation support
We considered a number of alternatives to improve the IT infrastructure of our SAP ERP systems, but our tests demonstrated Oracle SuperCluster would best meet our requirements for robustness, effectiveness, price, and quality.
Execution
CELSA GROUP migrated seamlessly to Oracle SuperCluster in less than a day thanks to in-depth pre-implementation analyses and preparation by Oracle and Oracle partner BT. In addition to migrating CELSA GROUP to Oracle SuperCluster, BT hosts CELSA GROUP’s SAP system, providing CELSA GROUP with data centers and Oracle SuperCluster infrastructure, while managing and operating the platform 24/7.
