India’s business management software giant Tally Solutions has migrated its TallyPrime Cloud Access platform to cloud, reducing IT infrastructure costs and strengthening performance, scalability and security for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Established in 1986, Tally provides accounting, inventory, banking and compliance software to SMEs. The move to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) enables anytime, anywhere access to TallyPrime - the company’s flagship accounting and business management platform used by nearly three million customers worldwide.
Tejas Goenka, managing director at Tally Solutions, said the cloud migration was critical to supporting the platform’s rapid growth and operational efficiency.
“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, optimise IT infrastructure costs, and support the scale at which TallyPrime is used every day,” said Goenka.
Cloud modernisation
Jayati Singh, chief marketing officer at Tally Solutions, said fragmented systems continue to hamper small businesses.
“Many MSMEs still juggle disconnected tools across accounting, banking, payments and inventory. That lack of connectedness leads to errors, delays and cash flow challenges,” said Singh. “They’re looking for integrated platforms that are trusted, affordable and scalable.”
She noted that cloud access has become foundational rather than optional.
TallyPrime Cloud Access now runs on OCI Compute and OCI Kubernetes Engine to improve scalability and automation, while OCI Object Storage supports high-performance data management and service reliability.
“As a result, we have optimised IT infrastructure cost by 30 percent. Looking ahead, we see opportunities to use cloud and AI capabilities more thoughtfully, to run systems more efficiently and deliver faster, more meaningful insights,” said Goenka.
With cloud costs lowered and infrastructure modernised, Tally sees the OCI migration as the foundation for its next phase of innovation.
Goenka said the company is embedding AI into its broader strategy, while taking a measured, human-in-the-loop approach to safeguard trust, accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Tally is already applying AI to enhance employee productivity and expertise, and is piloting responsible AI practices within software development, with an emphasis on reducing long-term maintenance overheads rather than simply accelerating code generation.
Potential AI use cases include automated invoice processing, conversational insights, smarter customer service and faster reporting all aimed at saving time for business owners.
For the millions of SMEs it serves, that could mean fewer manual processes, better visibility into cash flow, and quicker access to the insights needed to grow.
