Oracle SOA Suite Keeps MTN Nigeria’s Middleware Responsive

Client Overview

MTN Nigeria is one of Africa’s largest telecom operators, serving millions of subscribers across Africa, handling vast transaction volumes every day. With such a high transaction load, the company needed a reliable Oracle SOA Suite infrastructure on Oracle WebLogic to maintain consistent service delivery and manage complex integrations across telecom operations.

The Challenge

MTN Nigeria faced growing complexity in its integration landscape. The existing middleware setup demanded:

• Closer monitoring and quicker incident management
• Faster remediation of service disruptions
• Fine-tuned WebLogic and Oracle SOA Suite components
• Constant availability to support high-volume traffic
• Audit-ready disaster recovery & governance processes

Without addressing these issues, MTN risked downtime, slower rollouts, and integration bottlenecks that could affect both subscribers and operations.
