Most companies today aren’t shifting to the cloud just to keep information somewhere safe. They’re doing it to move quicker, make decisions in real time, and find new ways to grow. The hard part isn’t getting there, it’s learning to use the cloud well: running complex AI systems without risking data security, following global compliance rules, and still keeping the experience fast for every user.
That balance of performance and protection is exactly where Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) excels. Designed for scale and built for trust, OCI gives organisations the room to innovate without losing control of their data. From virtual meetings and automobile design to healthcare systems and financial transactions, Oracle’s infrastructure now forms the invisible backbone behind some of the world’s most recognisable brands.
From global video platforms and automakers to hospitals, banks, telecoms, and universities, Oracle is helping leaders modernise with purpose, balancing innovation with trust.
As demand for video collaboration exploded, Zoom faced an architectural challenge. Millions of concurrent users, complex AI transcription models, and strict data privacy laws were stretching its systems to the edge.
By partnering with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Zoom gained the ability to keep customer data inside each region it operates, ensuring compliance and near-zero latency. OCI’s bare-metal servers and low-latency global network let Zoom run AI models for transcription and meeting summaries in real time.
The results spoke for themselves: meetings started faster, video stability improved globally, and AI summaries were generated in seconds. As Zoom’s leadership put it, “Oracle gave us the speed and reliability we needed to meet people where they are, securely and seamlessly.” This isn’t just a cloud migration case study; it’s an example of how AI and infrastructure can move in perfect sync.
For Mazda, innovation starts long before a car leaves the factory. Yet outdated supply-chain systems were slowing response times and adding cost. Moving core operations to OCI changed that equation.
The company’s performance improved by 70 percent, and its five-year technology cost was cut nearly in half. Using Oracle Autonomous Database and AI analytics, Mazda’s teams can now forecast demand, reduce inventory waste, and optimise logistics in real time.
Integration across regions wasn’t easy at first; legacy systems created friction. But OCI’s hybrid and multi-cloud capabilities allowed Mazda to phase modernisation instead of forcing it. The brand now runs a smarter, leaner supply chain that reflects its own design philosophy: efficiency built from precision.
Safety technology manufacturer Industrial Scientific wanted its service division to match its product innovation. Agents were overloaded with repetitive tickets that slowed down issue resolution.
By embedding Oracle AI within OCI, the company automated triage, routing, and first-level support.
Resolution times dropped by 35%, operational costs by 25%, and customer satisfaction climbed over 20 points. What makes this possible is OCI’s GPU-powered compute layer, which trains AI models directly on customer data while maintaining privacy.
Today, Industrial Scientific uses the insights from each customer interaction to predict needs before they arise, showing how AI cloud transformation isn’t futuristic anymore; it’s an operational reality.
After Oracle acquired Cerner, the goal was ambitious: modernise healthcare’s digital core. Hospitals were running on fragmented systems, and patient data often sat in silos. Through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle Health has unified millions of electronic medical records (EMRs) within secure, region-specific data centres. The impact is measurable; hospitals report 40% faster chart completion and stronger analytics for community health tracking.
The rollout wasn’t instant. Merging decades of legacy data was complex, but OCI’s security-first architecture and data lakehouse approach provided the bridge. Now, doctors and nurses spend less time on documentation and more time with patients, proving that secure cloud operations can make healthcare more human.
In financial markets, even small performance gains can change the game. LGT Financial Services adopted Oracle Exadata Cloud Service on OCI to strengthen both speed and compliance. The outcome: 55% better data processing performance and 35% faster query response times across mission-critical workloads. OCI’s dedicated, isolated bare-metal servers gave LGT the throughput it needed without compromising regulatory control.
The firm’s leadership noted that this wasn’t only about IT efficiency; it was about confidence, every trade, every report, every transaction backed by infrastructure built for precision. A clear Oracle Infrastructure customer success example where reliability becomes a strategy.
Few industries face pressure like telecom. For Vodafone, the mission was to become more agile without losing control over its massive data operations. Oracle’s interconnect between OCI and Microsoft Azure made it possible.
By spreading workloads across both clouds, Vodafone improved responsiveness by 40% and reduced costs by 30%. The biggest challenge was internal, aligning teams across two environments. OCI’s built-in orchestration tools made that transition manageable.
This story shows how industry cloud adoption doesn’t have to mean compromise; it can mean flexibility that actually works.
In logistics, speed isn’t enough; foresight matters. FedEx used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to deploy AI models that predict route delays and improve delivery efficiency.
Using OCI’s GPU clusters for machine learning, the company cut delivery delays by 22%, improved fuel efficiency by 18%, and saved nearly $8 million annually in analytics costs.
The challenge lay in consolidating thousands of data streams from sensors and vehicles. Oracle’s autonomous data warehouse and AI data services made it possible to clean, process, and act on that information in real time.
It’s one of the strongest cloud migration case studies in logistics, showing how predictive intelligence can create real-world impact.
At Baylor University, modernisation meant bringing every function from admissions to alumni relations onto a single digital platform. By implementing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications on OCI, Baylor unified finance, HR, and academic data under one secure umbrella.
Administrative productivity rose by 35%, and processes that once took weeks, like financial closing, now take days. Faculty use Oracle Analytics to monitor student performance and improve engagement.
The challenge was historical data, years of records spread across formats. OCI’s migration toolkit ensured nothing was lost, and everything was protected. Baylor’s example shows how AI-driven, secure cloud operations can reshape education without losing its personal touch.
Across these eight industries- communication, manufacturing, safety, healthcare, finance, telecom, logistics, and education- a pattern emerges. Oracle isn’t just helping businesses migrate; it’s helping them modernise intelligently.
What sets OCI apart is its foundation. Bare-metal servers deliver raw performance. GPU and AI infrastructure accelerate learning. Autonomous databases manage themselves. Hybrid and multi-cloud flexibility ensures that systems stay connected even across different providers.
The metrics are clear: higher performance, lower cost, faster rollout. But the deeper story is cultural; organisations using Oracle aren’t just updating IT; they’re redefining how they work.
