Case Study: Alkan achieves improved product collaboration, regulatory compliance, and full traceability with Oracle Agile Product Collaboration 9.3

Alkan Improves Aeronautical-Equipment Product Collaboration, Design Processes, and Government Compliance

Alkan S.A., a 150‑employee French manufacturer of aeronautical carriage‑release and ejection systems used on 60+ aircraft types in 65+ countries, faced increasingly stringent military and civil aviation safety and certification requirements. The company needed consistent, certifiable technical documentation and historical configuration tracking across its supply chain, clearer design‑to‑manufacturing communication, and multiformat 3‑D viewing so engineering, quality and production teams could collaborate early and reliably in the product lifecycle.

Alkan upgraded to Oracle Agile Product Collaboration 9.3 (with Oracle AutoVue) and deployed 40+ licenses, following Oracle Consulting’s migration guidance to complete data migration in two days. The solution delivered full traceability across ~60,000 products and engineering‑change histories, faster audits and FAR/JAR compliance, real‑time multi‑engineer collaboration, multilevel BOM comparisons, and 3‑D design viewing—reducing production delays, improving governance and certifications, and enabling secure digital design exchange with customers while users adapted quickly to the new platform.
