A globally-renowned multinational aerospace and defense company, was looking to upgrade its legacy ERP system and transform its complex underlying IT architecture. They wanted to establish a central, secure repository of information while optimizing business processes. Due to the nature of their industry, they had a very specific set of requirements and needed to create a customized solution that would meet their high regulatory standards. Their solution was to combine their legacy ERP and Bizagi, avoiding ERP customisation by using Bizagi to run the processes and integrate the data.

Bizagi enabled legacy applications to pass and receive information from the ERP system to over 150 satellite applications. This enhanced the functionality of the system, provided an authorization layer, and has eliminated manual tasks so individuals can spend more time applying their knowledge and adding value to the business. This has seen a 2.5x reduction in overall manual effort and transformed processes across procurement, finance, manufacturing, maintenance, and supply. The spare parts order process has seen particular success, with 300 parts automatically validated in five minutes, making the process 720x faster.

We can’t make planes without Bizagi."
