Each Targetbase client depends on having fast and reliable access to large amounts of data. This data was hosted on-premises by Targetbase, using Oracle Exadata X5-2 machines. The Exadata machines were reaching end-of-life, and Targetbase was keen to eliminate on-prem technology costs by pursuing a cloud-first strategy.

Using its award-winning RapidCloud methodology and tooling, Cintra successfully moved these workloads to the Oracle Cloud.

Key outcomes

• Transformation delivered within eight months, to eliminate $500K on-prem technology refresh costs
• Cloud platform eliminates data center footprint and enables Targetbase to scale its business sustainably
• Cintra architects high-performance foundations for business-important data workloads
