Case Study: Lion Corporation achieves 4x faster query performance and 2x faster updates with Oracle Exadata and Oracle Database 12c (Oracle)

Lion Corporation Supports Growth with Oracle Engineered Systems

Lion Corporation, Japan’s largest maker of oral care and household products, faced growing point-of-sale data volumes and a planned datacenter relocation that made moving legacy hardware risky. The company needed to upgrade its Oracle Exadata platform to support faster analytics, protect data during the move, complete the project on time and on budget, and avoid disruption to business‑critical systems such as SAP and manufacturing operations.

Lion upgraded to Oracle Database 12c on Oracle Exadata X5-2, adopting Oracle Multitenant and Oracle Database In-Memory and working with partner SCSK to deploy a pre‑tested system in under four months. The new platform delivered up to 4x faster query performance and 2x faster updates, zero downtime, flexible capacity-on-demand licensing for easy scaling, improved POS analytics, simplified management, and reduced IT workload while meeting the project timeline and budget.
