In 2018 Murad implemented Oracle E-Business Suite as part of an ERP Financial initiative to accelerate back-office throughput and reporting across ERP, supply chain planning, and business intelligence. The implementation targeted a complex, multi-channel commercial model that required faster ERP and SCM processing to support direct-to-consumer e-commerce growth and high-dollar B2B orders, while reducing infrastructure overhead and improving business continuity.
The deployment moved Oracle E-Business Suite along with Demantra planning and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, using Oracle Cloud Compute, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Storage, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Networking. Murad executed trials and a pilot, staged test environments for super users, leveraged Oracle’s bring your own license program to migrate the standby Oracle Database to OCI, and then cut over production workloads after validation.
Operational integration preserved a multi-cloud topology, with the customer-facing website running on Amazon Web Services and a secure tunnel connecting AWS to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure so transactional flows could reach the migrated back-office systems. The implementation explicitly encompassed ERP operations, SCM execution, planning workflows, and BI query and reporting pathways used by finance and operations stakeholders.
Governance emphasized a staged rollout and rigorous testing, moving standby systems first and using a controlled cutover approach described by Murad as like flipping a switch. The program also offloaded hardware maintenance, eliminated a planned hardware refresh cycle, and enabled disposal of on-premises servers while positioning the IT organization to consume continuous infrastructure innovations from the cloud provider.
Measured outcomes reported by Murad include faster E-Business Suite reporting where some reports moved from 15 to 20 minutes down to about 5 minutes, an overall performance improvement in the range of 20 to 30 percent, and an estimated 30 percent reduction in infrastructure costs driven largely by lower network line connection expense and reduced hardware and maintenance spend.

| GoDaddy | Legacy | Reamaze Live Chat | Chatbots and Conversational AI | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Murad deployed Reamaze Live Chat on its public website. The deployment establishes Reamaze Live Chat as the customer-facing Chatbots and Conversational AI layer for Murad.com, delivered through the site rather than as an on premises product.
The implementation centers on a web-embedded live chat widget with a unified conversation inbox, supporting real-time messaging, automated replies, canned responses, and threaded ticket workflows typical of Chatbots and Conversational AI platforms. Configuration and operational modules include chat routing rules, canned message libraries, and knowledge base linkage to support agent-assisted and automated interactions, with Reamaze Live Chat configured to manage both live sessions and asynchronous conversation threads.
Technically the Reamaze Live Chat instance runs as a SaaS conversational layer integrated into Murad.com, which is hosted on GoDaddy, so the delivery model is browser-embedded widget communication over the site channel. Operational scope focused on customer support and direct-to-consumer e-commerce touchpoints on the website, impacting customer service and digital commerce workflows, and requiring governance of chat routing, escalation rules, and conversation ownership within support processes.

In 2018, Murad moved Oracle OBIEE into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as part of a targeted Analytics and BI deployment to accelerate back-office reporting and planning. Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, commonly called Oracle OBIEE, was implemented alongside existing E-Business Suite and Demantra applications to support faster ERP, SCM and planning queries across the organization.
The implementation combined Oracle Cloud Compute, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Storage and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Networking to host application and database tiers, and Murad leveraged a bring your own license approach to deploy Oracle Database on cloud compute. Implementation followed a staged approach, beginning with trial licenses and pilot environments, then moving test environments and a standby database to the cloud before cutting over production workloads, enabling controlled validation by super users and operations teams.
Operational coverage included ERP reporting, supply chain planning, demand planning and business intelligence for both direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels and high-value B2B order processing, addressing distribution through retail, infomercials and spas. The deployment was integrated into a multi-cloud architecture, with the company’s public website hosted on Amazon Web Services and a secured tunnel built between AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to allow real-time interaction between web transactions and back-office systems.
Governance and runbook changes emphasized cloud-first infrastructure ownership and vendor support engagement, with Murad coordinating support and account management with Oracle and AWS teams. Outcomes stated by the customer include significantly faster EBS reporting, with specific reports moving from 15 to 20 minutes down to about 5 minutes, an overall 20 to 30 percent improvement in application performance and an estimated 30 percent reduction in infrastructure costs, including savings from reduced network line expenses and hardware maintenance; Murad is now exploring database as a service and longer term software as a service options.
