Swift JD Edwards Migration to Oracle Cloud: A Case Study

In today's fast-paced trade world, flexibility and productivity are key to remaining competitive.

This is particularly genuine for companies in high-tech businesses like photonics. As of late, a US-based pioneer in unadulterated photonic optical circuit exchanging confronted a basic challenge: moving their JD Edwards framework to Prophet Cloud in record time. Let's dive into this exciting case study and see how LTIMindtree stepped up to the plate.

The Client's Dilemma

Picture this: a global powerhouse in photonic switch technology, designing and manufacturing cutting-edge systems right in the heart of Santa Barbara, California. This company's innovative products are essential for optimizing next-generation data centers and software-defined networks. But behind the scenes, they were hooking with a squeezing issue.

High OPEX and Looming Deadlines

The clock was ticking. Their existing private cloud hosting the JD Edwards application was becoming a financial burden. With high operational expenses (OPEX) weighing them down, they needed a cost-effective solution – and fast. To add to the pressure, their contract renewal date was looming on the horizon. Talk about a race against time!

Overcoming Migration Challenges

But wait, there's more. Recent organizational changes have left them with limited information about their existing system. To make matters worse, their current cloud service provider wasn't playing ball.

Limited Information and Reluctant Incumbent

They refused to grant access to their servers, leaving our client in a tight spot. Imagine trying to move house without knowing what you own or having the keys to your current place. That's the type of obstacle they were facing.

LTIMindtree's Innovative Solution

Enter LTIMindtree, ready to save the day. Our group of specialists rolled up their sleeves and got to work. We knew we had to think outside the box to drag this off. So, we made a cloud movement arrangement that would keep the trade running easily without losing a beat.

Seamless Transition and Cost-Effective Approach

Here's where it gets interesting. We decided to recreate the entire setup, down to the smallest detail. We kept the same naming conventions for all servers and databases. Why? Simple. We wanted to make the transition as smooth as silk for the users. No need for extensive training or complicated handovers. It's like moving to a new house where everything is in the same place as your old one. Neat, right?

But we didn't stop there. Remember the high costs that were causing headaches? We tackled that issue head-on with an innovative pricing model for the migration. This clever approach significantly reduced the capital expenditure (CAPEX) for our client. It's like finding a way to move to a bigger, better house while saving money in the process.

Impressive Business Benefits

Now, drumroll, please... Let's talk about the results. Hold onto your hats, because this is where it gets really exciting. Not only did we complete the project within the tight 3-week timeline, but we finished ahead of schedule. That's right, we delivered early. In the world of IT projects, that's like winning the gold medal in the Olympics.

Ahead of Schedule with Automated Infrastructure

But wait, there's more! We built over 15 servers from scratch using automated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts. This isn't just impressive; it's a game-changer. It's like building an entire neighborhood of custom homes using advanced robotics – faster, more efficient, and with pinpoint accuracy.

What does this all imply for our client? Well, they now have a state-of-the-art JD Edwards system running smoothly on Oracle Cloud. Their operational costs have been significantly reduced, giving their bottom line a healthy boost. And because we kept the user experience virtually unchanged, their team could hit the ground running without missing a step.
