Case Study: Alstom saves millions and speeds project work with Sinequa

Alstom saves $40 million on engineering with Sinequa

Alstom, a global leader in the transportation sector, faced a significant challenge in managing the vast amount of data generated across its massive, decades-long projects. With over 74,000 employees using hundreds of applications, employees were spending excessive time searching for information stored in disparate systems like OpenText/Documentum, SAP, and SharePoint. To address this, they turned to the vendor Sinequa and its Intelligent Search platform.

Sinequa implemented a solution that integrated both structured and unstructured data from all of Alstom's content sources. This enabled the creation of customized insight applications for specific business needs, such as a parts finder and automated sales proposal generation. The results were substantial, including an estimated $40 million in savings from reducing redundant parts manufacturing and a further $6 million saved through faster sales proposal creation. Sinequa also provided optimized access to legal and contract information, reducing time spent on data gathering by 5-10%.
