# OCI Deal Accelerator — Business Case # Demo: PharmaCorp Mexico — ExaCS migration from on-prem Exadata X6 business_case: customer_name: "PharmaCorp Mexico" prepared_by: "Carlos Mendoza — Solutions Architect" date: "2026-04-12" executive_summary: > PharmaCorp Mexico operates 3 mission-critical Oracle databases (EBS R12, SAP, DW) on aging Exadata X6 hardware. The hardware refresh quote is $1.8M and locks the company into 5 more years of on-prem operations with no DR capability. Migration to OCI ExaCS X11M reduces annual infrastructure costs by 61% ($1.75M over 3 years), adds cross-region DR (RPO<15min, RTO<1h), and resolves the pending SOX audit finding on automated patching — all while eliminating data center costs. drivers: primary: "hardware_refresh_avoidance" urgency: "HW refresh due in 6 months — must decide now or commit $1.8M" cost_of_inaction: financial: "$1.8M HW refresh + $300K/yr support + $80K/yr DC costs = $2.88M over 3yr" risk: "No DR today — single site, single point of failure for EBS production" compliance: "SOX audit finding: manual quarterly patching is non-compliant" tco_comparison: current_state: description: "On-premises Exadata X6 with hardware refresh" line_items: - item: "Hardware Refresh (Exadata X8M)" year_1: 1800000 year_2: 0 year_3: 0 notes: "One-time CapEx" - item: "Annual Support & Maintenance" year_1: 220000 year_2: 220000 year_3: 220000 - item: "Data Center (power, cooling, space)" year_1: 80000 year_2: 80000 year_3: 80000 - item: "DBA Operations (patching)" year_1: 60000 year_2: 60000 year_3: 60000 - item: "DR Infrastructure" year_1: 0 year_2: 0 year_3: 0 notes: "No DR — risk accepted" total_3yr: 2880000 proposed_oci: description: "OCI ExaCS X11M with Data Guard DR" line_items: - item: "ExaCS X11M Queretaro (Prod, BYOL)" year_1: 98400 year_2: 98400 year_3: 98400 notes: "$8,200/mo" - item: "ExaCS X11M Sao Paulo (DR, BYOL)" year_1: 98400 year_2: 98400 year_3: 98400 notes: "$8,200/mo — Data Guard standby" - item: "FastConnect 10Gbps Dual" year_1: 36720 year_2: 36720 year_3: 36720 notes: "$3,060/mo" - item: "OCI Vault + Monitoring + Storage" year_1: 30000 year_2: 30000 year_3: 30000 notes: "$2,500/mo" - item: "Migration (one-time)" year_1: 50000 year_2: 0 year_3: 0 notes: "ZDM + Data Guard setup + testing" total_3yr: 1130400 savings_3yr: 1749600 savings_pct: 61 roi: investment: 50000 annual_savings: 583200 payback_months: 1 three_year_roi: "3,400%" value_drivers: - driver: "Cost Avoidance" impact: "$1.75M saved over 3 years vs HW refresh" evidence: "BYOL pricing + elimination of DC costs + automated patching" - driver: "Risk Reduction" impact: "Cross-region DR where none exists today" evidence: "RPO<15min, RTO<1h with Data Guard + FSDR" - driver: "Compliance" impact: "SOX audit finding resolved" evidence: "ExaCS automated patching + OCI Audit + Vault for key management" - driver: "Operational Agility" impact: "DBA freed from patching + infrastructure management" evidence: "Oracle-managed ExaCS infrastructure, automated backups" risks: migration_risks: - risk: "EBS customizations require testing" mitigation: "Pre-Prod testing in Phase 2 before cutover" - risk: "FastConnect provisioning delay (partner-dependent)" mitigation: "Start in week 1; IPSec VPN as interim backup" - risk: "HW refresh deadline pressure (6 months)" mitigation: "16-week migration plan fits within window" do_nothing_risks: - risk: "No DR — single site, single point of failure for EBS" mitigation: "Cannot be mitigated without investment" - risk: "SOX audit finding remains unresolved (manual patching)" mitigation: "Remediation requires automated patching — on-prem can't deliver" - risk: "$1.8M HW refresh locks in 5 more years of on-prem" mitigation: "Sunk cost — no cloud migration ROI for 5+ years" recommendation: summary: > Proceed with OCI ExaCS migration. 61% cost reduction over 3 years ($1.75M saved), cross-region DR capability, and SOX compliance resolution.
