Case Study

The Challenge

The Consumer Markets client’s legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system — JD Edwards — was identified for migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as part of a broader cloud transformation programme aimed at exiting a large legacy data centre. To ensure continued compliance, mitigate emerging risks, and unlock new opportunities, the business sought to modernise its technology landscape.

As a planned workstream within this programme, the migration focused on enhancing infrastructure resilience, improving global scalability, and securing operations for the future. To successfully deliver this critical initiative, the client engaged Perform Partners for their proven expertise in complex cloud migrations and technical transformations.

Our Approach

We provided assurance across all technical, architectural, planning, and delivery activities to enable a successful migration from on-premises infrastructure to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Our role spanned design validation, risk mitigation, and execution oversight, ensuring the solution aligned with best practices for cloud security, resilience, and scalability.

• Delivered technical and architectural assurance for all design artefacts.
• Developed a pragmatic migration and cutover plan.
• Supported detailed risk management and mitigation strategies.
• Conducted a thorough analysis of existing applications, including 3rd-party integrations, to strengthen the client’s E1 support model.
• Ensured compliance with best practices in cloud security, resilience, and scalability — all validated by independent 3rd-party penetration testing.

Fast Facts

• Reduced critical ERP job runtimes from approximately 15 minutes to 1–2 minutes, improving processing speed by over 90%.
• Cut large batch job runtimes from over 4 hours to around 3 hours, increasing overnight processing efficiency by approximately 25%.
• Maintained stable performance for non-critical jobs (e.g., MRP processes), ensuring no degradation despite the infrastructure shift.
