Tally Solutions modernises SME management with OCI

Tally Solutions, a business management software (BMS) provider, has announced the successful migration of TallyPrime Cloud Access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The migration addresses the growing demand for data access for nearly three million customers worldwide.

As announced by Tally Solutions, the migration has yielded a 30% reduction in IT infrastructure costs while enhancing scalability and operational reliability for the organisation.

Tejas Goenka, Managing Director of Tally Solutions, highlighted that the transition to OCI was driven by the need for a stable foundation to support the increasing complexity and scale of the SME segment. He also mentioned that Tally’s achievement of 30% saving in cloud service costs was primarily driven by OCI Compute efficiencies and optimised architectural designs.

Tally has automated its cloud operations by leveraging OCI Kubernetes Engine and OCI Compute, allowing it to serve a diverse and hard-to-reach customer base. While the use of OCI Object Storage has ensured high performance and service reliability for critical financial data management.

Addressing the SME complexity myth

A recurring theme in the briefing was the debunking of the idea that SMEs are simple to serve compared to large enterprises.

"Most people say that it’s easy to serve the SME. In our experience, that argument is totally false. The Oracle team has really understood the size, scale, and complexity of this opportunity." — Tejas Goenka, MD, Tally Solutions

The AI roadmap

Tally also made it clear that it is integrating AI as a core strategy but maintains a cautious, “human-in-the-loop” approach to ensure trust and compliance. It is currently using AI to improve the intellectual capability of its staff and experimenting with principled AI implementation in software development, focusing on long-term maintenance costs rather than just simple coding.

Within the next few weeks, Tally will roll out its first AI capabilities designed to simplify business management. At the same time, they arealso addressing concerns associated with AI failures and regulatory compliance. Goenka emphasised that society is in a transition period. While agents can technically file returns, the issue of accountability remains. Tally’s strategy focuses on building trust before moving toward fully autonomous agents in regulatory sectors.
