Customer Overview

Autocab is the market leader in booking and dispatch software for Taxis. It is owned by Uber. After migrating to Oracle Cloud ERP, the company relied on a small in-house IT team to manage day-to-day operations and minor system enhancements.

Executive Summary

AutoCab faced a business continuity risk when a key member of its internal Oracle ERP support team left the organisation. With a lean IT and Finance function and limited backup resources to support Oracle Cloud ERP, the company turned to an experienced Managed Services Provider (MSP) to mitigate operational risk, maintain compliance, and ensure the continued optimisation of its cloud ERP environment. Within weeks, DSP had transitioned support, helped with long-standing issues and provided a deeper level of technical input.

The Challenge

Autocab’s key Oracle ERP support resource had moved to another company. The organisation was light on Oracle ERP expertise, adding risk to critical month-end close processes, transactional tasks, and compliance reporting.

Key issues:

  • Limited internal Oracle Cloud ERP expertise
  • Reconciliation challenges with key reports
  • Inability to troubleshoot system issues
  • Increased pressure on Finance and Procurement teams

The Solution

AutoCab engaged DSP, a certified Oracle MSP, under a managed services contract to stabilise and support their Oracle Cloud ERP environment.

Scope of Services Included:

  • Application support and issue resolution
  • Incident and service request management
  • Quarterly patch reviews and advisory
  • Minor enhancements and updates
  • User process reviews
  • Advisory services for process improvements

Transition Timeline: 6 Weeks

Week 1–2: Knowledge Transfer & Assessment

  • Review of existing documentation and access to environments
  • Hands-on review of configuration and footprint

Week 3–4: Stabilisation

  • Implemented ITIL-aligned ticketing and escalation processes
  • Assigned dedicated Oracle ERP consultants

Week 5–6: Optimisation

  • Resolution of technical reporting issues
  • Provided training to business users on issue reporting

The Result

  • Provided resolution of outstanding issues
  • Confidence of knowing expertise was on-hand
  • Increased knowledge transfer and self-sufficiency
  • Increased visibility into service performance via dashboards

With DSP’s cloud ERP Managed Services, Autocab was able to transition smoothly from an in-house support model to an outsourced partnership that ensures business continuity, compliance, and ongoing system optimisation.

The Partnership

Our Team's Expertise & Approach

DSP’s Oracle ERP experts bring a deeper collective understanding to managed services than a single in-house individual. This mitigates risks and provides opportunities for additional enhancements. 

Flexible, outcome-based solutions

Moving to an outsourced managed service meant that best practices could be applied to resolve long-standing issues, with support that can be scaled up or down as required.
