Office Depot gets future ready with Oracle Cloud

Office Depot is a leading B2B integrated distribution company providing business services and supplies, products, and technology solutions through its fully integrated omni-channel platform of approximately 1,350 stores, online presence, and sales professionals and technicians to small, medium, and enterprise businesses. Through its banner brands Office Depot, OfficeMax, CompuCom, and Grand & Toy, the company offers customers the tools and resources needed to focus on starting, growing, and running their businesses.

Situation

Office Depot is transforming their business model to shift from products to services. To accelerate this change, the client selected Oracle Cloud to transform their core business functions.

Solution

As part of their business transformation, Office Depot partnered with Capgemini to move their on-premise Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) system to the Oracle Cloud Software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. Capgemini first upgraded the on-premise OTM system, then migrated to the Oracle OTM Cloud which included complex integration with legacy systems, such as IBM Mainframes and Omnitracs Roadnet.

Results

This cloud migration helped to achieve Office Depot’s modernization goals:

• Reduced operating expense on infrastructure
• Reduced maintenance and support costs
• Faster archive performance with Oracle Exadata infrastructure
• Employing latest releases taking advantage of new functionality
• Improved visibility with enhanced reporting, analytics, and dashboards
