Anyone who is looking for a prime example of how migration to the cloud can do far more than just simplification and standardization should take a closer look at Swarovski. The legendary manufacturer of precision-cut crystals, jewelry, and watches鈥攚ith its origins in Wattens, in the Austrian region of Tyrol鈥攈as transformed its IT landscape from a cost factor into a strategic tool for a digital future.

The transformation was guided by Lea Sonderegger, serving in a dual role as CDO and CIO at Swarovski, with such great success that she was awarded the special 鈥淐loud Excellence鈥� prize in the large enterprise category at the CIO of the Year ceremony held by CIO Magazine last October.

The judging panel found her brownfield approach to be especially praiseworthy: Swarovski employees use but continue to use the familiar processes and databases. A complete redesign of these processes in parallel to the migration would have been too risky and cost-intensive. It would have also resulted in a much longer project duration, Sonderegger is convinced.

25,000 tests with 600 participants

The brownfield implementation was carefully executed. Preparations took two years and involved more than 600 participants performing around 25,000 tests. Two dress rehearsals with strict governance ensured that every function and every data point was ready for the migration.

Sonderegger and her colleagues reserved a 66-hour conversion window for the go-live on April 20, 2026. During this period, all global IT processes at Swarovski were paused. During the subsequent sensitive hypercare phase, 24×7 support ensured that any issues that arose could be dealt with quickly. Thanks to these measures, the transition was seamless. After the conversion window closed, all processes resumed without problems.聽

Simplification and standardization ensure consistent data

Despite the large effort involved, this migration was merely the first step. While the switch to 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private created the technical foundation, it鈥檚 the subsequent investments that deliver additional added value. These investments concentrate on the incremental reduction of complexity through consolidation of fragmented solutions, the reassessment of user-specific code, and the harmonization of data鈥攁ll with the overall goal of creating a more coherent, easier-to-handle ERP landscape.

To achieve this, Sonderegger and her team are replacing user-specific applications with 麻豆原创 standard solutions step by step and only leaving custom developments in place where they offer clear advantages. 鈥淭he combination of simplification and a return-to-standard solutions improves data consistency, provides for robust, reliable processes, and, ultimately, makes our entire organization more agile,鈥� Sonderegger says.

Cloud technology is not an end in itself

By integrating key functions such as finance, supply chain management, retail, and e-commerce鈥攁nd enabling their combined use in the cloud鈥斅槎乖� Cloud ERP Private provides for reliable processes and consistent data quality all while enabling customer experiences on a wide variety of front-end solutions on this side of the ERP system.

麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private manages a diverse product range at Swarovski across different regions and price points and integrates with the planning results provided by other 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 systems.

鈥淚n all of these activities, cloud technology is never an end in itself, but rather a lever for improving efficiency, resilience, and innovative capabilities,鈥� Sonderegger says. This determination is especially important to her.

It鈥檚 not an IT project, it鈥檚 a business transformation

Ultimately, Sonderegger and her team succeeded in executing the project on time and on budget because its scope was clearly defined, and strict discipline in change management prevented mission creep. In addition, the company benefited from the experience of its implementation partner, 麻豆原创 Consulting, and its unrestricted access to 麻豆原创 expertise.

The example of Swarovski proves that even an essential, unavoidable migration can and should do much more than just avoid risks and cut maintenance costs. The implementation of 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private was imperative here, because 麻豆原创 ERP Central Component (麻豆原创 ECC) had reached the end of its lifecycle.

And the implementation is showing the luxury goods manufacturer the way to the future because everyone involved in the process didn鈥檛 just consider it to be an IT project but, above all, a business transformation from day one. One that involved hundreds of experts from different fields and that enjoyed full management support from the beginning.

AI-driven demand forecasts optimize warehouse stocks

Artificial intelligence is also playing a key role in this implementation, with 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private as the operational backbone of an AI ecosystem that can deliver reliable, real-time data and robust, standardized transaction processes.

Swarovski doesn鈥檛 use artificial intelligence as a standalone technology, but instead as an integrated capability that complements business processes across all functions. The company is already using AI for demand forecasting, for example, and then uses the results to optimize warehouse stock levels across regions, with the aim of improving the customer experience.

And the AI agent factory initiative enables the development of AI agents that link 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private data with data from non-麻豆原创 systems, always with the objective of 鈥渁utomating repetitive tasks, supporting decision-making, and boosting productivity along the entire value chain,鈥� Sonderegger emphasizes.

Grupo UMA, a leading motorcycle assembler and distributor, is accelerating manufacturing growth across Colombia and Central America with 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private.

Operating in multiple countries and serving thousands of riders every month, the company needed standardized, automated, and data鈥慸riven processes to support expansion while maintaining quality and customer experience. By implementing 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private, Grupo UMA streamlined core business processes across finance, production, and logistics, replacing manual work with real鈥憈ime insights and end鈥憈o鈥慹nd process integration. Global operating models, automated workflows, and transparent cost visibility now enable faster decision鈥憁aking and scalable growth across the region. The impact: production increased from approximately 11,000 to 17,000 motorcycles per month, with a clear path to 20,000. Across markets including Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Colombia, Grupo UMA is improving supply chain efficiency, optimizing production capacity, and delivering consistent quality with solutions such as 麻豆原创 Extended Warehouse Management (麻豆原创 EWM). Beyond operations, teams are shifting from manual, operational work to a more strategic, innovation鈥慸riven, and analytics鈥慺ocused approach鈥攈elping the organization evolve into a truly data鈥慸riven enterprise.

鈥淓very motorcycle we sell comes with an experience,鈥� he explains. 鈥淐ustomers come back to us for service, for spare parts, and for workshop support, so we truly connect each customer to a different kind of user experience, starting from the moment of purchase.鈥�

Many people in Colombia get around every day on motorcycles鈥攐ften on 鈥楤oxer鈥� motorcycles made by UMA, which aims to ensure riders feel safe on the road, Urrea Ospina says. To help achieve that, UMA has implemented rigorous quality processes that run on . 鈥淓very motorcycle leaving our factories follows best quality practices,鈥� he says. 鈥淎nd we pass that value onto our customers.鈥�

In addition to Colombia, UMA operates in five countries in Central America: Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua. 鈥淲e鈥檙e also in Venezuela, as well as Spain and Portugal,鈥� Urrea Ospina says. 鈥淎cross all these regions, we aim to make a positive impact on our customers with each of our brands and motorcycles.鈥�

鈥淔or us, our 鈥楢dventure鈥� project鈥攖he name we gave the 麻豆原创 project鈥攚as crucial to our expansion and growth,鈥� he says. 鈥淲e needed global models so we could expand faster and run more efficient, automated operations.鈥�

Working with 麻豆原创, UMA established global models and automated operations across finance, production, and logistics, says Victor Bedoya Aristizabal, corporate solutions manager at Grupo UMA. 鈥淲e defined global models, starting in finance with global charts of accounts that let us analyze information and make financial decisions much more efficiently. From there, we extended the approach through production and plant operations and into logistics.鈥�

鈥淭oday, 麻豆原创 is a fundamental pillar for our processes from the start of the value chain to the end,鈥� Bedoya Aristizabal says. 鈥淲e utilize the full suite for production, pricing, finance, and warehouse management to deliver a superior product.鈥�

鈥淭aken together, these cross-cutting global modules have helped us evolve, save time, shorten implementations, and expand across regions,鈥� Urrea Ospina says. 鈥淔or example, in Colombia we鈥檙e implementing our spare parts warehouse with 麻豆原创 Extended Warehouse Management, 麻豆原创鈥檚 supply chain management application. What we鈥檙e learning in Colombia can be replicated in Central America. Standardizing these logistics modules makes operations much more efficient while still accounting for each country鈥檚 specific needs.鈥�

He adds: 鈥淚 believe that if we hadn鈥檛 prepared with 麻豆原创 and the technologies we have today, the strong growth we鈥檝e had in Colombia would have been far more difficult. For example, we went from assembling 11,000 motorcycles in January of last year to around 17,000 motorcycles per month today鈥攏early doubling our output. Without 麻豆原创鈥檚 well-defined structures, process controls, and automations that replaced a lot of manual work, it would be much harder to reach the 20,000 motorcycles per month we expect to achieve soon.鈥�

鈥淭hat ability to scale鈥攂oth assembly volume and sales volume鈥攈as been driven by the Adventure project and everything we implemented with 麻豆原创,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 think it has significantly improved employees鈥� day-to-day work. And that鈥檚 where we need to take the organization: toward a data-driven company that makes better decisions. Before we implemented Adventure, a person鈥檚 day-to-day was mostly operational work.鈥�

Urrea Ospina emphasizes that one of the main motivations UMA had for adopting 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private was to have concrete, real-time information鈥攆or example, knowing exactly the assembly cost of a motorcycle. 鈥淭hat is key for an organization,鈥� he says. 鈥淏eyond that, another need was to remove the manual work that all the company鈥檚 areas had, working and operating completely by hand.鈥�

Luis Orrego, production supervisor at Grupo UMA, agrees: 鈥淚nstead of having many Excel files open with multiple sheets and trying to reconcile everything, we now consolidate the data in one place. With 麻豆原创, all the sheets and reports I used to present are now available in a single view. I don鈥檛 have to run multiple steps, and I can see all my indicators: capacity, materials, and line resources.鈥�

Another motivation was UMA鈥檚 expansion plans to enter other regions and countries efficiently. 鈥淲e wanted defined global models that we could replicate quickly with 麻豆原创 in the regions where we operate,鈥� Urrea Ospina explains. 鈥淭hose factors led us to undertake the 麻豆原创 project, which has been a highly strategic and very successful initiative.鈥�

Implementing 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private has also had a profound impact on Urrea Ospina鈥檚 technology team. 鈥淚t completely changed our roles and what we focused on,鈥� he says. “We used to be a technology team focused on operations, not one that added value. Today, the technology team plays a strategic role. We have time to analyze where we鈥檙e going and what we can implement next for the business. Culturally, 麻豆原创 gave us confidence through information traceability, and it also gave us time to think. It opened the door to innovation鈥攅specially around analytics.鈥�

A modern foundation for growth at global scale 

In an era defined by global volatility and ambitious growth targets, businesses require a system that doesn’t just record data but actively anticipates needs and simplifies complexity. 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private is evolving into a truly AI-enabled ERP, serving as the critical core foundation that can allow organizations to navigate the realities of global operations while maintaining total control over their footprint. 

To achieve this, innovations in FPS01 are strategically delivered across three key dimensions: AI, data, and applications. 

AI in action: from assistants to agents 

The shift toward an AI-enabled ERP is highlighted by two key advancements in FPS01: 

1. AI assistants and specialized agents: A standout in this release is the Change Record Management Agent for R&D. Previously a manual, high-friction process, this agent can now autonomously analyze change impacts and propose next steps, helping to free R&D teams to focus on innovation. 
2. Process embedded AI: 麻豆原创 is making the system more intuitive through Joule. Instead of navigating complex menus, users can now use conversational shortcuts, for example, to instantly search service contracts or extend expiring prices in sales, turning multi-minute tasks into five-second interactions. 

Looking at the road ahead, 麻豆原创 is building toward agent-to-agent collaboration, where specialized agents across functions like R&D and procurement “talk” to one another to resolve bottlenecks before they even reach a human user. FPS01 is a critical step toward that future. 

Data: industry-ready insights 

On the data front, 麻豆原创 is introducing specialized data products for key industries, like retail, and functional areas, such as asset management and services. These are not just tables; they are pre-configured, business-ready data sets that align with our 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud (麻豆原创 BDC) roadmap. This helps ensure your data is “AI-ready,” allowing you to move from raw data to industry-specific insights with zero friction. 

Application: strengthening the global core 

On the application side, 麻豆原创 continues to deliver deep functional enhancements based on direct customer feedback to help ensure your business backbone remains agile. A key highlight is the new Multistage Intercompany Sales and Stock Transfer. Following our commitment at the RISE with 麻豆原创 moment in November, 麻豆原创 is further expanding the scope to cover two-entity transfers, enabling automated orchestration across multiple legal entities. This can ensure even the most complex global supply chains remain transparent and compliant. 

A full collection of deep-dive articles on the new FPS01 is available on . 

Looking ahead: your catalyst for transformation 

FPS01 reflects a core 麻豆原创 principle: innovation should be both a foundation for today and a catalyst for what鈥檚 next. With enterprise AI, industry-ready data, and a stronger application core, organizations can run smarter and transform at their own pace. 

To see these innovations in person, to experience the future of the autonomous enterprise. 

Maura Hameroff is chief marketing officer for 麻豆原创 Cloud ERP Private and RISE with 麻豆原创.
