Case Study: Elizabeth Arden, Inc. achieves 10x faster reporting with Oracle Exadata

Elizabeth Arden, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Elizabeth Arden, Inc., a global prestige beauty company, needed to speed up financial reporting, improve analytics for sales and supply chain decisions, and support a growing four-terabyte data warehouse without adding costly hardware. The company turned to Oracle Exadata, using Oracle Business Intelligence 11g and Oracle Exadata Database Machine to create a faster, more scalable environment for 600 users.

Oracle Exadata helped Elizabeth Arden build a near real-time data warehouse, generate reports 300% to 1,000% faster, and shorten the month-end close process. The solution also enabled five new executive dashboards, cut time spent on problem queries by a factor of six, supported targeted marketing with better profit and loss analysis, and freed up two IT resources while improving scalability for future growth.
