A Healthcare Innovator's Challenge

Our client, a global pioneer in treating rare and serious medical conditions, operates numerous plasma centers where they collect a huge volume of samples every day. Their groundbreaking research and development, powered by an extensive bank of human blood plasma, are crucial in creating life-saving medicines. To manage their healthcare data, including an enormous daily volume of plasma samples, they use an Oracle-based management system.

Streamlining for Efficiency

However, the business was experiencing challenges with its Oracle-based management system and needed a solution. High maintenance costs, complex architecture, and slow performance started impacting the efficiency of the staff and the experience of donors at the plasma centers. With outdated hardware and a need for a robust, scalable solution, the business set its sights on Oracle Exadata.

Cintra’s Strategic Approach

Cintra, chosen for our proven expertise in Exadata architecture, stepped in to transform the healthcare provider's data landscape. Our team crafted a new Exadata platform, focusing on multi region redundancy and Real Application Clusters (RAC) for uninterrupted business continuity. The Cintra team meticulously managed the installation, configuration, and testing of the new system, ensuring a seamless transition during an efficient overnight cutover.
