Case Study: Dow Corning saves $1.6 million with Tranxition Migration Manager

Dow Corning Saves $1.6 Million with Intelligent Backup and Migration

Dow Corning, a global materials manufacturer with over 7,500 employees, faced the challenge of upgrading 9,000 desktop PCs from Windows 98 to better support a new $100 million SAP platform. They needed a cost-effective and reliable process to migrate user data and settings while minimizing IT labor costs and the risk of data loss during the OS refresh. Vendor Tranxition provided its Migration Manager software to address this need.

Tranxition's solution enabled an automated, user-initiated migration process that captured and restored user data and application settings without technician involvement. This approach allowed Dow Corning to save an estimated $1.68 million in IT labor costs, as the need for technician visits was reduced to only one per 30+ migrations. The process was completed without a single software failure in over 5,000 migrations, ensuring both data integrity and minimal user productivity loss.
