Case Study: GE achieves legacy systems consolidation and corporate financial integration with Logan Consulting and QAD

GE replaces 15+ legacy systems with Logan Consulting's QAD implementation

The customer, a major construction and mining manufacturer, faced significant IT risk from over 15 legacy systems, including an aging COBOL platform with minimal support. This patchwork of un-integrated systems, combined with manual shop floor data entry, led to a lack of data confidence and timeliness. Logan Consulting was engaged to implement a solution to consolidate these systems and integrate with corporate financials.

Logan Consulting implemented a full-life cycle QAD deployment to replace the legacy infrastructure. The solution included comprehensive distribution and manufacturing functionality, real-time shop floor control, and custom interfaces for financial integration. This allowed the customer to eliminate local support staff by leveraging the corporate QAD center of excellence, thereby mitigating their IT risk and improving data accuracy.
