BASF Group’s several hundred Oracle database applications in Europe have all now been migrated to a consolidated Oracle 10g environment.
The harmonisation project took just six months, and was carried out by BASF IT Services. The company says its primary goal was to improve security and stability and to guarantee smooth operation of its database network.
That meant also web-enabling a large proportion of its applications during the update phase – saving BASF additional cost and simplifying operation of the corporate database.
“In comparison with the previous solution, our new database landscape offers significantly higher availability, stability and performance,” says Sergio Agudelo, senior specialist Infrastructure and Architecture at BASF.
“For a project this complex we required an experienced partner who also knows our internal processes well. BASF IT Services convinced us by offering everything we need from a single source, from planning to operations all the way to support.”
BASF IT Services set up a parallel infrastructure for the project duration in its Ludwigshafen data centre, to ensure a smooth transition and to mitigate disturbances to operations. After migration, it carried out acceptance in a separate test centre for each application.
