Beaumont Hospitals Reduces IT Costs and Improves System Performance

Beaumont Hospitals is a regional health provider with three community hospitals: a 1,061-bed hospital and academic center in Royal Oak, a 346-bed hospital in Troy, and a 289-bed hospital in Grosse Pointe. Beaumont Hospitals wanted to reduce IT administration costs throughout the hospital system and simplify management of more than 60 databases. The challenge was to migrate to Linux environment to support highly available systems. Beaumont Hospitals implemented Oracle Database and Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Enterprise Linux, benefiting from the Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program, which reduces administrative costs as well as enabled a phased conversion of applications to Linux.
