Oracle Helps Burger King Meet Regulatory Compliance Requirements

In order to quickly comply with new federal, state, and country regulations from the Brazilian Revenue Office for electronic invoicing for direct taxing, Burger King selected the Oracle Cloud Platform, specifically Oracle Java Cloud and Oracle Database Cloud services.  It was the only cloud solution that addressed Burger King’s ease of use, quick deployment and cost requirements. Using the Oracle Cloud Platform, Burger King was able to deliver the entire project in three days and has been able to meet the compliance deadline and avoid penalty, as well as achieve savings of 50 percent and decreased IT costs by 60 percent based on an on-premise IT model.

“Burger King was able to save \\$5 million in penalties by deploying Oracle Cloud Java Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service, which enabled us to meet regulatory compliance deadlines in an unbelievably short timeframe. We delivered the entire project in less than three days, resulting in 50 percent savings, as well as decreased our IT costs by 60 percent,” said Marcelo Oliveira, head of IT, Burger King. “Now, we’re looking to use additional Oracle Cloud services, including Oracle Documents Cloud Service and Oracle Integration Cloud Service, to implement a hybrid cloud strategy to connect our on-premise systems with our cloud applications.”
