Case Study: EDION Corporation achieves 42% faster order processing and 63% lower IT operating costs with Oracle Exadata and Oracle GoldenGate (Oracle)

EDION Processes Customer Orders 42% Faster, Reduces IT Operating Costs by 63%, and Supports Multi-Channel Growth Strategy with Engineered System

EDION Corporation, one of Japan’s top three home appliance retailers with more than 1,200 stores and over 10 million loyalty members, needed to support a multi‑channel growth strategy while simplifying IT and protecting customer data. The company faced peaks of real‑time transaction volumes, a requirement to migrate 7 TB of data with minimal downtime and roll out a new core system to all stores in 11 months, faster reporting for business decisions, and lower ongoing IT operations and maintenance costs.

EDION implemented an engineered stack—Oracle Exadata Database Machine with Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Advanced Security, supported by NEC—to enable real‑time synchronization, faster queries, and built‑in encryption. The new system cut order processing time by 42% (with nightly batch times down 42% and CPU use reduced 90%), completed data migration in one hour, accelerated reporting up to 15×, reduced IT operating costs by 63%, and met the 11‑month nationwide rollout while preserving continuous member services.
