| ALSTEC Ltd. is an engineering company that provides services for airports, logistics, defense, nuclear and thermal power industries. ALSTEC inherited 100 legacy applications based on a 20-year-old mainframe system with numerous databases. The infrastructure would not enable them to compete in today's market – automated business processes on one platform would improve efficiency, productivity, service and response times. The company replaced all accounting, project management, time recording, purchasing, goods receiving, stock management and reporting software with one integrated solution from Columbus IT. "Standardizing on Microsoft technology reduces the levels of systems integration," states Philip Green, Technical Director at ALSTEC. |
