Modernize legacy software to a cloud-based application to reduce maintenance costs and enhance customer reach

Modernizing legacy applications to cloud enables customers to access data and analytics anywhere for taking corrective measures to improve product quality in manufacturing organizations.

Client Profile

A leading SQC/SPC software company helps manufacturers analyze their process data to improve quality and identify production issues before they become problems. The client has been helping hundreds of manufacturing companies for over 25 years in over 70 countries around the world.

Project needs:

The current legacy SQC/SPC software lets manufacturers collect, visualize, analyze, and react to process data to reduce variation. Broadly, the features are as follows:

  • Collect manufacturing data in an efficient, accurate and objective manner
  • Apply advanced statistical methods and techniques for analysis of data
  • Make the data and analysis accessible with simple and easy to understand program interfaces
  • Communicate the results to members of the organization with intuitive and attractive color charts

The current application is a desktop application with a stripped down web application companion that runs on Windows. Over the last ten years, the technology and business landscape has advanced very quickly. The potential to run the application in the cloud gave scope for new business models and additional revenue generating streams. The client partnered with Everest Consultants to review the current application and redevelop the application to take advantage of the advances in user interfaces and cloud technologies.
