Hitachi earned this recognition for its development of a company-wide data utilization platform on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for Mizuho Leasing Company, Limited ("Mizuho Leasing") as part of the customer's digital transformation (DX) initiative. In just three months, Hitachi has successfully built a data utilization platform that extracts and analyzes large amount of data from Mizuho Leasing's multiple core systems, without impacting the performance of the existing systems. By combining its experience in building and operating on-premises mission-critical systems with its cloud computing expertise, Hitachi was able to rapidly develop the platform. Additionally, Hitachi's engineering capability was pivotal in stabilizing Mizuho Leasing's IT services, resulting in a high level of customer satisfaction. Following the success of this project, Mizuho Leasing expects Hitachi to continue provide excellent support on the integration of OCI and Azure.
Leveraging its 30-year collaboration with Oracle, as well as its experience in supporting mission-critical systems and building and operating cloud environments, Hitachi has been at the forefront of providing technical services in Japan since the launch of OCI in the country in 2019. Hitachi has been providing a wide range of services to customers, such as migrating on-premises Oracle Databases to Oracle Exadata on OCI and building data utilization platforms on OCI. In this award-winning project with Mizuho Leasing, Hitachi deployed a team of platform engineers with expertise in database and cloud in both OCI and Microsoft Azure environments to handle the critical system integration, resulting in the successful and timely construction of a complex data utilization platform.
