iFoundries optimizes infrastructure with Oracle Cloud
The Singapore-based digital agency addresses infrastructure and cost optimization challenges with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, driving revenue growth.
“Stability, cost savings, higher performance, and scalability: these are the reasons we moved to OCI from AWS. Also, we receive a lot of support from the Technology Cloud Engineering team at Oracle, and I greatly appreciate how they seamlessly helped us in terms of knowledge transfer, and gave precise advice on technical challenges during our migration to OCI.”
Business challenges
A digital agency focused on marketing and sales alignment, iFoundries has nearly 17 years of experience helping brands achieve value and organizational growth through digital transformation.
The company had been running its web, marketing, and email automation applications across 40 disparate servers managed independently by different service providers. The infrastructure was spread across Amazon Web Services (AWS), the data centers of Singapore-based cloud service provider Vodien, and other local data centers.
Faced with increasingly high server maintenance costs, iFoundries realized it needed an infrastructure refresh. To manage rising business demands and deliver better performance for its customers, the company wanted a cloud service provider that could guarantee cost, security, scalability, and performance benefits. From a technical angle, iFoundries needed advice and support from a technology team capable of managing its infrastructure and addressing queries post migration.
Oracle provides a lot of value that helps improve on what you are doing. Even if you have no experience with infrastructure and the cloud, Oracle will be a great platform to work with. Their customer success team and the technical team are very hands-on.
Why iFoundries Chose Oracle
After evaluating AWS to consolidate its infrastructure, iFoundries selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) because it delivered better performance and was more cost-effective than other offerings.
The user-friendly technical interface and the availability of OCI’s technical team to provide guidance and support during and after migration was another reason why the company chose OCI over competing services.
Results
The company derived significant benefits after the migration, including faster implementation speeds, zero downtime, APAC-wide reduction in operating costs, and nearly 30% savings in power costs.
In addition, iFoundries was also able to bring down monthly server maintenance costs by 50%, and achieve infrastructure optimization that has allowed for further improvements and upgrades to the current infrastructure. In addition, OCI’s user-friendly interface has provided non-IT users the ability to interact with the platform with ease, reducing the burden on the IT team.
With stability, security, cost savings, performance, and optimization benefits, OCI has been integral in helping iFoundries boost business performance and revenue generation by helping customers improve their operations. OCI has become the core infrastructure hosting the company’s customers’ advertising campaigns.
Via an app that provides digital transformation consultation services, iFoundries is also taking advantage of Oracle’s partnership to expand its reach across businesses.
