Featured work

AWS to OCI for a global rental car company

A cross-functional move of infrastructure, data and AI, run in waves so the business never lost its reporting or its models along the way.

Infrastructure

Landing zone and migration

Tenancy, compartments, networking and IAM designed first, then workloads moved from AWS onto OCI compute and Kubernetes in planned waves.

Data warehouse

Autonomous Data Warehouse design

The warehouse designed on ADW: layered schemas, conformed entity views, performance and workload management, and reconciliation against the source.

AI & data science

Models moved, not rebuilt

Data science workloads moved onto OCI Data Science, with features read from the warehouse and models deployed for the business.

Rental 360 designed on ADW

Our AI-native Rental 360 data model and insights are designed to run as views over the ADW layers, with a result cache in front of the warehouse.

History moves once in bulk; changes keep flowing by CDC until cutover. Nothing switches until the OCI side has been reconciled against the source.
What we build

What we build on Oracle Cloud

From the first landing zone to AI in production.

Migrations to OCI

AWS, Azure or on-premises to OCI: assessment, wave plan, bulk load plus CDC, parallel runs and reconciled cutovers.

Landing zone & infrastructure

Tenancy and compartment design, VCN and FastConnect, IAM policies, Vault, logging and cost tracking from day one.

Autonomous Data Warehouse

Warehouse design and modernization on ADW: layered schemas, partitioning, materialized views, caching and workload management.

Data integration & CDC

GoldenGate and OCI Data Integration for change capture, Data Flow for Spark workloads, and pipelines you can monitor.

Streaming

OCI Streaming, or Kafka from Confluent or Redpanda, for real-time feeds into the warehouse and to applications.

AI & data science

OCI Data Science for notebooks, training jobs and model deployment, with features governed in the warehouse.

Generative AI & agents

OCI Generative AI and natural-language access to warehouse data, with the same governance as everything else.

Analytics

Oracle Analytics Cloud and our InsightViz, on governed metrics so every dashboard agrees.

Governance & security

Compartment-level access, encryption keys in Vault, audit and data protection designed in rather than added later.

How we migrate

Seven steps, each with an exit gate

Reversible at every step until the final cutover.

1 · Assess

Inventory compute, data, pipelines, models and reports, with dependencies and owners.

2 · Landing zone

Compartments, networking, identity and security in place before anything moves.

3 · Data

Bulk-load history, then keep it current with CDC until cutover.

4 · Workloads

Applications, pipelines and models moved in waves, by domain.

5 · Parallel run

Both sides run; counts, checksums and reports are compared.

6 · Cutover

Writers first, then readers, with a rollback path for each wave.

7 · Optimize

Right-size compute, tune the warehouse and retire what is no longer used.

Planning a move to OCI?

We start with a two-to-three week assessment: inventory, dependency map, wave plan and a cost view, before anyone commits to a date.
