Claro Colombia has optimized its IT efficiency by migrating critical systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, reducing data latency and deployment time while increasing productivity. A strategic partnership with Oracle includes substantial investments and demonstrates notable growth in Oracle’s customer base and service offerings.
Claro Colombia has successfully enhanced its IT efficiency by completing the migration of its critical systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This transition has significantly reduced transactional data latency in Bogotá to between 4-5 seconds and expedited the deployment of new infrastructure from four months to just two weeks. As a result of this migration, Claro has also reported a noteworthy increase in team productivity, as highlighted during its recent Tech Summit.
The partnership with Oracle, which was formally established in 2022, involves a substantial investment of US$25 million in their datacenter located at the Triara facility along the Bogotá-Medellín highway. This agreement includes the migration of over 100 on-premise servers that are vital for Claro’s mission-critical processes onto Oracle’s cloud infrastructure.
In its first operational year, Oracle’s cloud region has experienced remarkable growth, increasing its customer base from seven to nearly 500. Additionally, its service offerings expanded from 20 to more than 150, and the overall consumption has doubled. Claro also disclosed plans to invest 15 billion pesos (approximately US$3.6 million) in enhancing technical capabilities, software solutions, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementations to bolster cybersecurity measures and expand its corporate solutions portfolio.
Claro Colombia’s migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure marks a pivotal move in advancing its operational efficiency and service capabilities. The significant reduction in latency times, improved infrastructure deployment periods, and the impressive growth of Oracle’s cloud region emphasize the success of this strategic partnership. Furthermore, Claro’s commitment to investing in cybersecurity and AI highlights its dedication to enhancing technology offerings for its corporate clients.
