Hello guys! Rafa here. Today is the eighth and last episode on the Journey to Oracle Cloud and after that I will get off your backs. In todays episode we will actually reveal the customer that we have been working with for the last eight months on their journey to the cloud. Before that I want to thank you guys for being with us, thank you for all the love and positive feedback and tricky questions you have sent us. And also, I want to promote that we are on the 11th of May doing a live webinar where you guys have the possibilty to meet not one but three different customers that have done the cloud migration. So let's go talk to our customer, their name can be revealed by themselves I think. So hi Johan! So great to have you with us today, I mean you have been a well kept secret for the last couple of months. So could you maybe tell me what company are you working for and what do you do there? Hello there Rafael, my name is Johan Holmström and I work as an IT operations manager at a shoe retail company called Nilson Group in Sweden. We have shoe stores in the Nordics and have an annual turnover of almost two billion swedish crowns. And we at Nilson Group has been working with Oracle products since the mid-nineties. Okay nice, so happy to reveal you. I mean we have been through a pretty intense journey the last couple of months. Could you maybe briefly describe what was migrated to the Oracle Cloud? Yes sure, the first thing that was migrated last autumn to the Oracle Cloud was our BI solution. We had an own installation of Exalytics appliance on premise, and we have done a very successful PoC of the Oracle Analytics Cloud before this journey and roughly about five months later we were ready to migrate the rest of the Oracle portfolio. So during a weekend in March we migrated our databases, our weblogic suite, Oracle data integrated in Apex environment to the cloud. I mean okay, it has only been like a month but what improvements are you finding at this point? We can see that we already have a lower cost and a better cost analytics of what we consume. It's easy to scale down and up the solution and having our development environment shut down when it's not used saves us universal credits. It's very fast to spin up a server and test something out and then terminate it, and we also see the load of our data warehouse is much much faster than before. Great stuff, so I know, you will be one of the customers that will be with us on the webinar on the May 11th, so you will elaborate more, but could you maybe give us some lessons learned during the project? Yes sure, if we had to redo this project we will be better to write down our demands and check them against the autonomous restriction so we know what works and what doesn´t work and that we have to build the workarounds for, also have better control of our integrations with Oracle products both internal systems and external systems, have a good name standard and also use the description feed and everything you put up, especially in the security lists so you know why you have put port openings and stuff like that and later on. Yes I know, Alexander mentioned that in an earlier episode, so finally I know you had a colleague with you all along the way in the project and then it was done and then he retired , was the project so damn tough? Well, yes it was tough but he is from the north and he is a big solid guy, so running this last project before retiring he went out with a nice feather in his hat. He has been working at Nilson Group for over thirty years and has a great knowledge of Oracle products, he will be very very missed by his colleagues. But I know Lars Vestin will enjoy his new retired life, brewing beer, fishing and being with his wife and family. Okay, cool. Thank you Lars Vestin and thank you Johan for participating today. Thank you, bye bye!
