Oracle Customer Success—Mando Corporation Mexico

Mando Corporation Mexico Modernizes with Oracle Engineered Systems

When we started our operations in Mexico, we needed a robust database that would work with our ERP system and support our expansion in the coming years. Oracle Database Appliance costs 20% less than the IBM solution, gives us great results, and ensures that we won’t need to change solutions in the near future.

Mando Corporation Mexico Finds Long-Term Database Solution Amidst Business Expansion and Saves Money with Oracle

Mando Corporation Mexico is a subsidiary of the South Korean original equipment manufacturer Mando Corporation, one of the largest global automotive parts and equipment manufacturers. Established in 1962, the company has offices in 27 countries and supplies automotive giants such as Kia Motors, Fiat, Volkswagen, and General Motors.

In 2016, Mando opened its new facilities in Mexico, where it produces suspension, brake, and steering parts. The Mexican branch is operating at 35% of its installed capacity, and based on its aggressive expansion plans, is expected to achieve 100% in 2020. Mando Mexico wanted a reliable and scalable database that would allow the company to expand without the need to purchase a new solution.

Business Challenge

Deploy a database compatible with the system Mando Corporation’s international offices worldwide use, so the Mexican branch could access foreign databases and vice versa
Find a robust and scalable solution that could accommodate the automotive part production company’s planned expansion
Purchase a reliable database for the new Mando Corporation office at a reasonable price

Results

Deployed Oracle Database Appliance, providing Mando Corporation Mexico with a database compatible with the company’s ERP system, while allowing access to international offices’ systems
Enabled Mando Corporation Mexico to keep the same database for the next decade, due to the solution’s robustness, high performance, and scalability—the company can purchase extra space and licenses at any time to meet expansion demands

Saved 20% in costs compared to an IBM Power solution, while acquiring an efficient and robust product
Facilitated access for Mando Corporation Mexico to the company’s international offices across 27 countries, since most of them use Oracle hardware and software
Expedited the deployment process—completing it in under three days—since Oracle Database Appliance is easier to implement than other solutions
Ensured a smooth purchase authorization process through Mando Corporation headquarters in Korea, due to all the benefits Oracle Database Appliance offers and its attractive pricing

We considered IBM, but Oracle offered a more efficient, robust, and modern solution and was 20% more affordable. It was also very convenient, since almost all of our international offices use Oracle—facilitating remote access to their systems—a key reason our South Korean office approved the deal.

Execution

“The deployment actually took less time than expected—less than three days. We have no complaints at all, and one year after the database went live we basically have not registered any failure.” - Miguel Burciaga, IT Manager, Mando Corporation Mexico
