When Moving to the Cloud Gets Real
The data centre contract is up. Hardware support is ending. Licence costs keep climbing, or the board wants a cloud plan by next quarter. Moving Oracle workloads is where generic cloud migrations go wrong: RAC, Data Guard, E-Business Suite and Oracle licensing all behave differently in the cloud. That’s the part we specialise in.
What We Do
Migration
On-premise Oracle Database (including RAC and Data Guard), full-stack E-Business Suite, data centre exits, and moves from AWS or Azure, with cutovers planned for minimal downtime.

Security
We harden your tenancy to CIS benchmarks, set guardrails so nothing new can be created insecurely, give you a clear view of who accesses your data, and protect your databases with backups that ransomware can’t touch, using the security built into OCI rather than a stack of extra vendors.
Oracle specialisation: OCI Security
Architecture and Resilience
OCI design and landing zones, disaster recovery and high availability, built as infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and Ansible.
Cost and Performance
Right-sizing, burstable and autoscaling compute, storage tiering and database tuning, so the bill matches what you actually use.
Data and AI
Bring data from across the business together on Autonomous Database, build applications on it with APEX, and use OCI AI services to answer questions from it in natural language.

Running It
Once you’re live, we can run the platform for you, including 24/7 monitoring and response for production, patching, backup and DR testing, and quarterly reviews.
How a Migration Runs With Us
Assess
What you run, how it’s used, what it costs today, and what it should cost on OCI, including licences.
Design
Landing zone, network, security, sizing and DR, built as code so every environment matches.
Rehearse
Full trial migrations with real data and timed cutover runs, so the real cutover is one you’ve already done.
Cut Over
A planned window with a validated rollback, and minimal downtime.
Optimise and Run
Right-size once real workloads are running, then hand over, or we run it for you.
The Kind of Work We Do
Moving to OCI, From Anywhere
We move mission-critical Oracle systems to OCI from wherever they run today: an on-premise data centre, AWS, Azure or another cloud, including databases, applications and full E-Business Suite estates. Every move is rehearsed so cutover is uneventful. The environment is set up properly from day one, secure, resilient and sized for how you actually use it. And once you’re live, we can run it for you.
From Spreadsheets to a Real Platform
Taking a business that runs on spreadsheets and workarounds onto one platform it can keep building on, with AI that answers questions from live data.
Replacing a Tool Before It’s Switched Off
When a system is being retired and the date is fixed, building its replacement in your own cloud, connected to the systems around it.
Outgrowing Your Database
Moving a growing business onto a database platform with the enterprise features and disaster recovery it needs, in a model that scales as it grows.
Secure Platforms for Many Customers
Multi-tenant platforms with security in layers, so each customer only ever sees its own data.
Built and Run by Us
We Monitor OCI With Our Own Plugin
Our open-source Checkmk plugin for OCI watches compute, databases, storage and cost across a tenancy. See Checkmk for OCI.
We Connect AI to Oracle Data Safely
Read-only access for AI assistants, one connection per environment, with every query logged. See AI on your Oracle database.

Where to Start
It starts with a conversation about what you run and where you want to get to. From there, most migrations begin with a fixed-price assessment of one to two weeks, which gives you a plan, a quote and a delivery date.
Who We Are
BSC is an Oracle Enhanced Partner based in Sydney. We’ve spent more than two decades moving and running the Oracle systems organisations depend on, and we serve customers globally.
Common Questions
Can we bring our existing Oracle licences?
Yes. OCI supports bring-your-own-licence for Oracle Database and middleware. We check what your current entitlements cover before you move, so nothing is bought twice.
Do we have to move everything at once?
No. Most moves are phased, with a hybrid period where some systems stay where they are. The assessment sets the order.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on size and complexity. The assessment gives you a plan, a firm price and a delivery date before anything moves.
What happens after we’re live?
You can run it yourselves with a full handover, or we can run the platform for you.
