SEFE moves core CRM and metering workloads toward Oracle Database@Azure

Oracle's dated evidence states that SEFE was halfway through migrating 17 applications and 37 environments to Oracle Database@Azure by 12 January 2026, while current Oracle customer evidence confirms operational core CRM and metering workloads on the service.

Organisation
SEFE, United Kingdom
Predecessor
Oracle database workloads hosted across legacy IBM infrastructure and Oracle databases running on Azure virtual machines
Destination
Oracle Database@Azure for the source-described migration estate, with core CRM and metering workloads already operating on the service
Workload
Oracle Database@Azure
Stage
underway
Evidence boundary: The dated 12 January 2026 Oracle authority proves an implementing migration with material operational workloads and performance improvements at that evidence horizon. Current Oracle customer evidence separately confirms core CRM and metering operation and UK data-centre decommissioning, but the differing current 39-database/13-application and earlier 17-application/37-environment scope counts are not collapsed into a whole-estate completion claim. No private exact cutover date is inferred.
