Case Study: IMI Precision Engineering achieves faster legacy parts lookup and customer continuity with DataNovata

IMI Precision Engineering - Customer Case Study

DataNovation helped IMI Precision Engineering, a large global engineering and manufacturing company, overcome a significant data accessibility challenge. The customer relied on a legacy ERP system running on an outdated Windows platform, which was slow and being discontinued. IMI needed to migrate its valuable historical database, including complex bills of materials, to a modern platform to ensure they could continue providing excellent service by matching customers with compatible parts for legacy equipment.

The solution involved DataNovation migrating the database from Progress to a modern SQL Server and automatically generating an HTML5 application to provide contextual data access. This secured all historical data for future use and made complex searches and parts tracing instantaneous, reducing query times from hours to seconds. As a result, IMI can now swiftly access retired design data to support customers, directly enhancing customer satisfaction and service excellence.
