Case Study: Hudbay Minerals gains easier licence management with acQuire GIM Suite 5

Hudbay Minerals sees commercial advantage in acQuire’s technology upgrades

Hudbay Minerals, a Canadian miner operating gold, zinc and copper projects in Manitoba and Arizona, needed an easier way to manage geological data access and keep up with regular software upgrades. Longtime acQuire customer Hudbay was especially interested in the move to GIM Suite 5 and its newer cloud-based licensing model, which promised simpler administration and better flexibility for users across exploration and mining teams.

acQuire upgraded Hudbay to GIM Suite 5, converting multiple licence types into the new cloud-based licensing platform and giving users full access across desktop, web and mobile. The transition was described as very easy, with no major issues, and licence administration became much simpler for staff. The change also delivered commercial value by making it easier to set up employees, reassign licences and purchase new ones, while helping Hudbay maintain seamless access to data for its geologists.
