The company was facing a few challenges prior to enlisting ECCO for Managed Services. The previous database team had recently left the company so ECCO and the new team needed to get acquainted and up to date. While engaging in this process, ECCO discovered that the company was planning to utilize E-Business Suite’s payments functionality, however it was not covered under the current contract which was a couple decades old.

The company was licensed with Concurrent Device, which is a legacy metric that has been discontinued by Oracle back in 1999. By migrating to the current metric, Application User, the company would be able to use this license based on the latest technology, updates and benefits, including the payments functionality. ECCO provided a thorough explanation allowing the company to make an informed decision to migrate from Concurrent Device to Application User.

In addition, another aspect of ECCO’s Managed Services is Strategy Planning Sessions, which allow the company to provide details on anticipated changes in business and IT initiatives. With this knowledge, the ECCO Analyst team has a better understanding of the future needs of the company and can offer direction to ensure the company remains compliant with their software and hardware licensing.

While the significant cost of $354,600 for the migration was sizable for the company, ECCO provided additional savings by the introduction of a KVM solution that avoids licensing the bulk of the servers under VMware which totaled $646,200. In the end, the cost mitigated by ECCO Select for licensing and contracts with Oracle resulted in a 40% savings for the company.

The value ECCO provided via the migration and KVM solution led to the company to engage ECCO for another 3 years of Managed Services.
