Customer expectations were shifting toward real-time insights and AI-enabled capabilities, while the existing platform offered limited headroom to deliver them. Rather than patching around the constraint, the company chose to address it at the root - without risking a single day of the service its customers rely on.
The objective was clear: modernize the database platform into a foundation that could scale with the business, reduce the operational burden on engineering teams, and support the company’s AI roadmap all without disrupting the applications customers use every day.
Three ambitions defined the initiative:
Grow Without Asking Permission: Build headroom for the next wave of customers, markets, and seasonal peaks with no re-architecture, no waiting.
Put People on What Matters: Hand the routine work patching, backups, tuning to the platform, and give engineers their time back for products and customers.
Be Ready When AI Knocks: Lay the foundation today for intelligent forecasting, natural language insights, and smarter products tomorrow.
Standing between ambition and reality:
A hard compute ceiling on AWS RDS the database had reached the platform's scaling limits with no room to grow
Mounting operational effort eating into engineering time as the customer base grew
New customer onboarding slowed by manual, hands-on provisioning
Customer demand for real-time insights and AI the legacy platform couldn’t deliver
The classic squeeze: expand globally, and cut operating costs while doing it
Path Infotech migrated the company's entire business-critical database estate from Oracle Database 19c SE2 on AWS RDS to Oracle Autonomous Database 26ai on OCI a cross-cloud move executed without changing a single application. Customers never noticed. That was the point.
A self-managing database that patches, backs up, tunes, and secures itself
Built-in scalability compute and storage scale automatically with demand, with consumption-based pricing to match
Automated provisioning standardized templates and scripted environment setup turning customer onboarding from a project into a process
Full continuity for every existing ERP application zero code changes, zero retraining
An AI-ready, API-first architecture built for what comes next
With 150+ customers depending on the platform every day, there was no margin for error, and none was needed.
Zero application changes from start to finish
Business as usual for customers across all 9 countries throughout the migration
Every phase validated before the next began.
Full knowledge transfer, leaving the client’s team confident owners of the new platform
The modernization delivered measurable gains across scalability, efficiency, and cost:
Up to 3x–5x more growth capacity - room for years of expansion and every seasonal spike
Up to 60–80% less database administration effort - the platform now manages itself
Up to 40–50% faster customer onboarding - new business goes live sooner
Potential 25–40% lower infrastructure operating costs - pay for what you use, not what you might need
99.95%+ availability capability - always on, everywhere the business operates
The real return isn’t in migration; it’s in what the company can now do that it couldn’t before.
Engineering time flows to product and customers, accelerating modernization initiatives by up to 50%
AI is now a roadmap item, not a wish the foundation for intelligent insights, forecasting, and recommendations is live
A cost base that scales with revenue, strengthening margins as the business grows
Faster market entry, with a platform that goes wherever the business goes
Security, recovery, and resilience built in not bulted on.
