Technology
Company
Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions is the innovator behind the performance of many of today's most sophisticated computer operations. Cobham serves industries as diverse as aerospace, high-altitude avionics, medicine, nuclear power, transportation, GPS, and networking and communications. Its products and services include high-reliability integrated circuits, electronic manufacturing, circuit card assembly, and radiation test services.
Challenge
Cobham managed documentation for four distinct product lines, each with twenty products. This range of operations meant that at any given moment, inspectors and operators had to be able to access the latest versions of documentation for up to eighty products. The company relied on a legacy document management system that was becoming increasingly outdated. As the aging system faltered, Cobham grappled with performance and productivity constraints. Compatibility with current software applications became increasingly critical.
