Case Study: FEI achieves faster global alignment and streamlined, accessible requirements with Jama Software's Jama Connect

FEI Discovers Efficient Collaboration in Jama Connect

FEI, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Materials and Structural Analysis division, designs complex electron and ion microscopes used across industries. With 3,000 employees in 50 countries, its global, cross-functional teams faced rapidly outdated, inaccessible, and constantly changing requirements—compounded by SharePoint permission issues—that created bottlenecks and strained quality control.

FEI piloted and then rolled out Jama Connect to centralize requirements, improve collaboration, and provide an auditable change-request process. The platform delivered visibility and a single source of truth, cutting alignment time on technical specs by two to three months, preventing lost or buried data, and improving clarity around deliverables and stakeholder expectations.
