Case Study: EIS Wire & Cable achieves 15x faster ERP performance with Stromasys Charon-AXP

EIS Wire & Cable boosts MRP performance 15x with Stromasys

EIS Wire & Cable was facing significant operational challenges due to their outdated AlphaServer ES40 hardware. The slow system caused 15-minute delays in their MRP runs, stalled critical reports, and led to widespread lost productivity. To eliminate this risk and improve performance without a costly application migration, they turned to vendor Stromasys for a solution using the Charon-AXP product.

Stromasys implemented Charon-AXP, which created an emulation layer on new hardware, allowing the existing ERP applications to run unchanged. The transition was completed over a single weekend with no code changes or system rebuilds. The results were dramatic: MRP run times improved 15-fold, dropping from 15 minutes to under one minute. This significantly boosted productivity, accelerated report processing, and eliminated the risk of a single-point hardware failure for the customer.
