Case Study: Hutchinson achieves global business agility and increased productivity with OpenText Trading Grid Messaging Service

Hutchinson adapts to shifting B2B needs with OpenText™ Trading Grid™ Messaging Service

Hutchinson is a global tier‑one automotive and aeronautics supplier founded in 1853, with more than 35,000 employees across roughly 95 sites in 25 countries. Rapid shifts in customer ownership, location and business models put pressure on its IT systems to adapt quickly while keeping costs under control and supporting new partners, standards and network protocols worldwide.

Hutchinson implemented OpenText™ Trading Grid™ Messaging Service to mediate document formats and communication standards and enable near‑real‑time exchange of EDI/XML business documents. The solution supports about 3,000 daily messages, increased partner connections without raising B2B transaction costs, and delivered faster responsiveness, higher productivity and improved data quality and integrity.
