A Seamless Transition to the Cloud for Greater Efficiency and Innovation
SNIC Insurance, a prominent provider of insurance solutions in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has built a reputation for innovation and excellence in delivering life, health, motor, property, and corporate insurance products. To enhance operational efficiency, scalability, and customer experience, SNIC transitioned its core systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This strategic move allowed the company to optimize IT operations, reduce costs, and accelerate digital transformation while ensuring uninterrupted business services.
Overcoming IT Challenges with OCI
SNIC Insurance previously managed its IT systems in a traditional on-premises environment, which became increasingly difficult to maintain as operational demands grew. The company faced rising maintenance costs, infrastructure complexity, and challenges with scalability. To address these issues, SNIC looked for a robust cloud solution that could boost performance, support future growth, and ease the burden of IT management.
By migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), SNIC unified its support, licensing, and hosting under one platform, simplifying operations. This shift enabled more efficient infrastructure management, improved system availability, and ensured scalability—while benefiting from Oracle’s enterprise-grade security and financial services–ready compliance.
A Smooth, Zero-Downtime Migration
To ensure a seamless transition to the cloud, SNIC Insurance adopted Oracle Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) for moving its critical workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Guided by Oracle specialists, the company was able to execute the migration with minimal service disruptions, preserving business continuity throughout the process. ZDM allowed SNIC to replicate and transition its systems in a phased, automated manner, significantly reducing the risks often associated with cloud migrations. This enabled IT teams to focus on strategic tasks rather than operational firefighting. The simplified and structured migration process provided by ZDM ensured a smooth, efficient deployment to OCI, laying a solid foundation for SNIC’s ongoing innovation and growth in the cloud.
“With Oracle’s Zero Downtime Migration, we transitioned seamlessly to the cloud without disrupting our operations. The scalability and security of OCI give us confidence in handling future business growth.” – Mohamed Sanad, Head of Information Technology
Delivering Business Value Through Cloud Innovation
The migration to OCI has delivered significant benefits for SNIC Insurance, driving measurable improvements in cost savings, system performance, and operational efficiency:
- Significant reduction in operational costs, freeing up resources for innovation and customer service enhancements.
- 40% boost in system performance, accelerating transaction processing, claims management, and policy administration.
