Oracle has announced that Berger Paints India Ltd has moved all of its on-premises mission-critical databases to Oracle Exadata Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). In addition, Berger Paints has migrated its core business applications such as financial & accounting, process manufacturing including warehouse management, sales & services, and enterprise asset managements to OCI.

Founded 100 years ago, Berger Paints produces a wide range of decorative, industrial, and automotive coatings for diverse customer segments, including homeowners, contractors, and industrial clients. The company’s customer base has grown significantly, driven by its focus on customized premium solutions and the surge in urbanization and infrastructure development, leading to a 2.5X increase in database workloads. As a result, Berger Paints required a modern IT infrastructure that could improve the company’s scalability, adaptability, resilience, and disaster recovery capabilities to help ensure system uptime and to accelerate data insights to better serve its large ecosystem of dealers and internal teams. Berger Paints selected Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI for its extreme performance, elastic scalability, high availability, and robust security features.
