Unique migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: A Secure and Reliable Application Landscape for CAK
In collaboration with CAK and Oracle, MCX successfully migrated the Oracle Health Insurance (OHI) and Oracle Service Bus (OSB) landscape to the Oracle Cloud. The project, which started in Q1 2023, required a careful approach to meet stringent security and functional requirements. During the two migration phases, the infrastructure, applications and databases were redesigned, implementing encryption, zoning and a Single Pane of Glass solution. This resulted in a technically manageable and scalable application landscape that meets central government security standards. Thanks to multidisciplinary cooperation and innovative customised solutions, CAK's objectives were realised without making concessions on functionality, security or reliability.

The Central Administration Office faced a choice with the OHI Landscape; new on-premise hardware or still a migration to a cloud platform? MCX joined forces with Oracle to successfully migrate the CAK to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
