Reduces Costs with a SaaS Data Exchange Solution
Industry
Automotive
Company
Headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, Federal-Mogul Corporation is a $7.5B supplier of powertrain and safety technologies, serving original equipment manufacturers of automotive, light commercial, heavy-duty, agricultural, marine, rail, off-road, and industrial vehicles. Through its two business divisions, Federal-Mogul Powertrain and Federal-Mogul Motorparts, the company also provides a broad portfolio of products and solutions to the global vehicle aftermarket, including power generation, aerospace, rail, and industrial customers.
Challenge

Until recently, Federal-Mogul relied on a single data exchange solution on an internally hosted server in the U.S., and two legacy systems based on ENGDAT/OFTP in Europe. Administrative efforts and related costs to manage the three local installations were significant.

To eliminate the need for local hardware and reduce administrative costs, Federal-Mogul sought a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data exchange solution. The company knew that the transition from its existing data exchange solution would be complex because of Federal-Mogul's three separate internal networks and dispersed corporate and partner locations. In addition, the firm recognized that all of its users would have to be manually migrated, further complicating the process.
