Background
CEA Technologies is recognised as the world leader in Phased Array Radar Technology. The organisation was gaining new business in Australia and internationally and needed to ensure that business processes were appropriately supported by assessing requirements and identifying preferred application directions.

Business Problem
The organisation had built up a foundation of business systems based on the Pronto Xi ERP supported by numerous internal developments. This was not optimal for supporting some of the directions that the business was pursuing - therefore necessitating the evaluation of available solutions in the market.

Results
The organisation had a requirement to implement a number of solution elements, including Document Management, Product Lifestyle Management, ERP and Project Portfolio Management. CMC was engaged to assist CEA with the Evaluation and Selection process.

The most critical business needs were identified as being PLM and PPM. CEA made a decision to implement a solution from Cincom to address their requirements.
