Over 120 years since its founding, Swarovski is more agile, efficient, and future-ready than ever, thanks to OLR’s ‘Project Vanilla.’

Founded in 1895, Swarovski is a pioneer at the forefront of the jewellery and accessories market. As a long-time Oracle customer, Swarovski understands the importance of staying current and maximising the functionality of the latest Xstore functionality.

However, over time, such a large and long-running infrastructure begins to accumulate complexity and lose efficiency – eroding a brand’s competitive advantage in a fast-moving industry.

In 2017, Swarovski teamed up with OLR on ‘Project Vanilla’ to successfully reduce the number of lines of custom code. By bringing their code back ‘under control,’ the premier brand has become more responsive, reduced maintenance costs, and increased reliability.

Now Swarovski can capitalise on the latest Xstore standard versions while maintaining the full functionality of their custom code. With renewed efficiency and shorter lead times for upgrades, testing, and validation, this historic brand continues to dominate the market and expand to new locations and regions.
