Intellinum Drives Major Migration to Oracle Cloud WMS
Intellinum™, a leader in supplying cutting-edge Oracle solutions, has successfully transitioned Sunrun Inc.

Sunrun's Push for Advanced Technology
As a prominent player in the residential solar and energy services sector, Sunrun has continually sought pathways to enhance operational efficiency and scalability. Moving away from an aging EBS infrastructure was a necessary step in aligning their technology with the company’s growth trajectory. Their vision included adopting a secure and modern cloud-based architecture capable of facilitating robust innovations.

Addressing Business Challenges
Before the migration, Sunrun faced numerous obstacles including the drawbacks of high-maintenance EBS customizations and on-premise security vulnerabilities. Operational inefficiencies arose from dependencies on legacy systems, along with limited inventory visibility and cumbersome user interfaces.
Innovative Solutions Implemented
