Hong Kong’s Orient Overseas Container Line Limited (OOCL), today revealed that it has upgraded to Oracle Database 19c to support its core mission-critical system—Integrated Regional Information System (IRIS-4). The upgrade will enable OOCL to leverage more data for better performance and higher efficiency and maintain security by patching without interrupting their flow of shipments as they continue to provide a vital link to world trade and create value for their customers’ employees, shareholders, and partners.
OOCL operates one of the world’s most extensive integrated container transportation and logistics corporations. Known for its ability to manage disruptions, meet customers’ expectations, and deliver quality services, OOCL needed to adopt innovative features to keep its competitive edge. To do so, the company upgraded to Oracle Database 19c to minimize operational risks and costs while reducing the workload on its IT team. The upgrade also allows OOCL to shift resources to value-added activities in order to improve business resilience. The decision to upgrade was motivated by OOCL’s positive experience with Oracle technology as a long-time customer of Oracle Database and Exadata Database Service.
“Customers are the number one focus for OOCL and the top priority for us to maintain our high operating and services standards,” said, Yu Wu, Chief Information Officer at OOCL. “The logistics services industry is under an immense amount of pressure due to the pandemic. Consumers around the world have been affected by port congestion, as well as the ripple effects of congestion and disruption from other logistics in the supply chain. This emphasizes the importance for us to update our software and enlist the assistance of customer-centered data management providers like Oracle.”
