Oracle announced that Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. has selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to migrate its large-scale, mission-critical business systems for accounting, development, production, design, sales, parts, export, human resources, and services.

By selecting Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI, the company has achieved a fast and reliable cloud migration with minimal changes to applications and databases from previous on-premises environments.

Hitachi Construction Machinery develops, manufactures, sells, rents, and services hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, road equipment, and mining equipment, with more than 400,000 units of construction equipment in operation worldwide. As part of its digital transformation effort (DX), it’s migrating its large-scale core system to the public cloud to unify data from mission-critical systems and construction equipment and prepare for future AI implementation.

Hitachi Construction Machinery selected OCI because it enabled a safe and secure migration strategy without requiring application changes. Additionally, the company benefits from improved business continuity and a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). By moving to the cloud, Hitachi Construction Machinery has quickly and dynamically scaled its resources, increased flexibility as its business grows and changes, and reduced its infrastructure operating costs by 20 percent. In addition, online transaction processing performance has improved by 50 percent, and batch processing performance has enhanced by 60 percent on several core business systems.
