Client Stories
Our Clients’ success is our success. We help businesses and governments improve the lives of their customers and citizens and we’re proud to share their stories below.
Ensuring a seamless database migration transition to AWS cloud required the collective capabilities of NEXTGEN Optima and Blue Crystal Solutions to develop a migration strategy to AWS Cloud that would minimise disruption to Macquarie University's campuses, faculty, and hospital.
When our Logistics client required a comprehensive health check and ongoing support for their two critical Oracle databases which supported the JD Edwards Logistics package essential for their distribution function, Blue Crystal Solutions were able to step in and remove the risks of instability, lack of future support, performance issues, non-scalable custom code and more.
Before digital archives, the nation's scientific data was stored in hard copies, susceptible to destruction. Yet, even with modern cloud storage like AWS, consistent updates and security measures are crucial to safeguard information. Blue Crystal Solutions (Blue Crystal) aided our Australian Federal Government client to securely upgrade and migrate biodiversity data.
Department for Education: A payroll system migration to AWS Cloud with thousands of salaries at risk
With their strategic local partners, Telstra Purple and AWS, Blue Crystal Solutions were able to migrate the Department for Education's bespoke on-premise payroll system to a secure AWS Cloud environment without additional Oracle licenses and without impacting or degrading services.
As a PowerHealth partner, we were engaged to help move our Health Client’s PowerBilling & Revenue Collection (PBRC) environment from on-prem to Azure Cloud and conduct an uplift from Oracle 12 to Oracle 19. The organisation is now enjoying all the advantages that comes with cloud.
One of our government health clients needed to upgrade to the latest Oracle hardware because of increased ongoing support cost to maintain hardware after end of support. OAS enabled the agency, an existing OBIEE customer, to modernize their analytics whilst moving from On-Premises Oracle Exalytics to On-Premises X8 Oracle Server.
One of our tech partners, Telstra Purple, reached out to us to work with one of their government education clients to provide an AWS solution to enable them to migrate multiple on-premises websites and payroll system, while still being flexible to add new workloads in future.
Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) utilized Primesize to provide an environment review of their databases. CESA were able to identify IT resources that could be optimised; this enabled them to reduce the cost of operations and position themselves for a long term cloud strategy. Learn more about their experience with BCS, featuring Phil Proctor, CIO, CESA.
Hill Smith Family Estate (formely Yalumba), is one of Australia's most historic family-owned winery, was facing the challenge that their enterprise software solution was exclusively on-premise.
Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) have been working with Blue Crystal Solutions in a variety of ways for over 15 years, with initial engagement surrounding the management of the on-premises databases. Previously, CESA’s data moved from disk to tape. This tape was stored in large tape libraries which required the development and maintenance of database robots. When a specific tape needed to be checked, replaced, or moved, the tape robot would find and retrieve the specific tape from the library.
When it comes to meeting their high performing business needs, speed, flexibility and being future focussed for Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA)’s data system is paramount. Their TAB wagering system processes a high volume of data requests across Australia and to keep up with the growing demand from their users the team needed it to work faster than ever without any latency. There was also the requirement to increase or decrease usage (and cost) based on need as well. And this is where Oracle & AWS Experts, Blue Crystal Solutions, came in.
After managing Isoton’s mission critical database environments for over 10 years. Isoton needed to deploy their telecommunications platform over to a public cloud environment from their existing on premise hardware, BCS were engaged to lead an Oracle to AWS Proof of Concept to provide AWS cost estimates and architectural considerations.
