The Oracle system played a vital role in the company’s data management strategy; however, concerns over data quality, system performance, and overall cost-effectiveness led the organization to seek expert guidance.
The client aimed to determine whether their existing data infrastructure was scalable, stable, and aligned with business needs. Their objectives included evaluating the organization’s people, processes, data, and technology, optimizing data models and reporting frameworks, and deciding whether to enhance the current system or explore alternative solutions.
Clarkston conducted a comprehensive assessment, engaging key user groups, development teams, and business stakeholders to understand system usage, pain points, and inefficiencies. Through in-depth evaluations, Clarkston analyzed Oracle’s role in supporting business processes and reporting needs, assessed system performance and integrations, and reviewed governance procedures, documentation, and technical configurations. The engagement also included a cost analysis of the existing Oracle system compared to potential cloud-based alternatives.
As a result, Clarkston uncovered key functional gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement. The assessment provided a comprehensive understanding of data flows, system bottlenecks, and areas needing optimization. By identifying weaknesses in data quality, governance, and reporting, Clarkston helped the client refine their overall data strategy. Equipped with these insights, the client received a strategic roadmap with tailored recommendations to enhance data management, improve reporting accuracy, and drive long-term operational success.
