India’s small business software major Tally Solutions has migrated its TallyPrime Cloud Access platform to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, reducing IT infrastructure costs by 30% while strengthening scalability and availability for millions of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The announcement was made at Oracle AI World Tour in Mumbai, where Tally Solutions said the shift to OCI gives it a more resilient and cloud-native foundation to support rising usage and always-on access requirements for its flagship business management platform.
TallyPrime is widely used by small and mid-sized businesses for accounting, inventory, banking and statutory compliance. With customers increasingly expecting remote, device-agnostic access to financial systems, the company said it needed higher-performance, highly available infrastructure that could scale with demand while controlling operating costs.
By moving TallyPrime Cloud Access to OCI, Tally is now using OCI Compute, OCI Kubernetes Engine and OCI Object Storage to improve performance, automation and data reliability. The company said the new setup has enhanced scalability and operational efficiency while lowering infrastructure spend.
“At Tally Solutions, our focus has always been on making business management simpler and more reliable for small and medium enterprises as they grow,” said Tejas Goenka, Managing Director, Tally Solutions. “As usage scales and expectations around availability and performance increase, having a stable and efficient cloud foundation becomes critical. OCI has helped us improve operational efficiency, optimize IT infrastructure costs, and support the scale at which TallyPrime is used every day.”
He added that the company plans to explore cloud and AI capabilities more deeply to improve system efficiency and deliver faster insights to users, indicating a roadmap that goes beyond hosting toward analytics and intelligent automation.
The move reflects a broader pattern in India’s SME software ecosystem, where legacy on-premise and hosted platforms are being re-architected on cloud-native stacks to support distributed work, compliance updates and transaction-heavy workloads. For vendors serving the SME segment, cost control remains as important as performance, making infrastructure efficiency a key selection criterion.
“As India’s small and medium-sized businesses continue to expand, they need a reliable and scalable platform that can support them at every stage,” said Kapil Makhija, vice president, Technology Cloud, Oracle India. “By running TallyPrime Cloud Access on OCI, Tally Solutions has modernized one of India’s most widely used BMS platforms to deliver the reliability and consistency its users depend on.”
Founded in 1986, Tally Solutions serves close to three million customers globally. Its cloud access layer has become increasingly important as SMEs adopt hybrid operating models and demand continuous access to financial and operational data.
Industry analysts note that for SME-focused software firms, cloud migrations are now less about experimentation and more about unit economics and service assurance. A reported 30% reduction in infrastructure cost suggests that platform-level optimization — including containerization and managed Kubernetes — is starting to materially improve margins for independent software vendors serving high-volume, price-sensitive segments.
With AI-driven features expected to be layered into SME software stacks over the next few years, vendors with optimized cloud foundations are likely to be better positioned to add compute-intensive capabilities without sharply raising customer pricing.
