Case Study: Aeroflex Microelectronics Solutions

Aeroflex Microelectronics Solutions implemented TRUcentrix, Trubiquity's secure cloud collaboration solution, to deliver comprehensive process management functionality for the company's four product lines and many product offerings.

The Challenge

Centralizing process and document management across multiple product lines each with many product offerings.

Aeroflex Microelectronics Solutions – the innovator behind the high-reliability performance of many of today's most sophisticated computer operations for industries as diverse as aerospace, high-altitude avionics, medicine, nuclear power, transportation, GPS, networking and communications – required a comprehensive document management solution for four distinctive product lines, each with 20 products apiece. At a given moment, inspectors and operators needed access to the latest versions of documentation for up to 80 products, and the company's current system had begun to falter due to age and the associated problems of interfacing with newer software solutions.

The Solution

A centralized system for efficient, secure collaboration in the cloud.

Aeroflex implemented the TRUcentrix platform. The solution was deployed rapidly to manage all of their controlled product and process documentation, streamlining their change management and distribution processes. The TRUcentrix team collaborated with Aeroflex to create a seamless transition from the old system to TRUcentrix. More than 40,000 legacy documents were ported over, and an extensive document clean up was also initiated and completed. An electronic signature sign-off system was also implemented.

The Results

Increased productivity and time savings for documentation retrieval across production activities.

TRUcentrix now enables Aeroflex to manage documents in a way that is fast, efficient and – above all else – completely reliable and available. More than 300 users can retrieve the documents they need in as little as two to three seconds, a significant improvement over the previous system, which took several minutes to complete a simple log-in.

Other benefits include:

• Increased productivity through e-mail notification when documentation is disseminated for approval
• Overall 20% time savings in document management
• Reduced document retrieval and approval time from several minutes to in-an-instant
• Improved efficiency on the production line
