Customer Case Study (Accuride): Using the Microsoft Application Platform to Transform Business Processes that Increase Productivity, Reduce Costs and Improve Customer Service
Speaker: David Stefanich, Chief Information Officer, Accuride
Customer Case Study: Accuride
| Accuride had an IBM iSeries–based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution that required frequent attention from IT personnel and was expensive to operate. The company used the Microsoft® application platform to build a new solution that not only improves integration, but also streamlines production planning and provides customers visibility into certain manufacturing processes. Developed in four months and with continuous improvements since, the solution has improved factory operations and delivers new customer value. Accuride is realizing technical benefits as well, including high developer productivity, minimal deployment costs, reduced ongoing costs, and a decreased IT workload. Furthermore, the solution’s scalability, reliability, flexibility, and ease of management will help Accuride take advantage of the solution in the future. |
