Company to set up its global information library
Global digital electronic component manufacturer selects advanced standard document management to harness corporate knowledge and accelerate time to market.
WRSL was recently awarded two contracts valued at more than 850m pounds(US$1.3 billion) for the renewal of signalling on the London Underground.
Westinghouse Rail Systems has gone into production with MatrixOne Engineering Central and MatrixOne Document Central within its research and development organisation to improve change control and configuration management of documents, allowing WRSL to maintain full audit history and regulatory compliance.
Following a successful Matrix10 pilot program, WRSL plans to deploy MatrixOne solutions more widely throughout the London Underground project, and beginning in early 2004, document and part management will be rolled out project by project throughout its engineering and project delivery departments.
"The installation of any major new IT infrastructure into a company can be challenging," said Charles Riley, Technical Director and board member of WRSL responsible for the project to date.
"The MatrixOne team has been very customer-focused during the implementation and has dealt rapidly with any issues as they have arisen.
We look forward to a continued and positive relationship as the product rolls out into our organisation and we begin to reap the benefits of our joint efforts." A rapid implementation of Team Central within IRS enables collaboration between three subsidiary companies on world wide IRS projects reducing travel time and cost.
"We were looking for rapid and cost effective deployment of virtual team rooms.
The solution met most of our needs straight from the box.
MatrixOne had us up and running within a few days of the initial request." says Ceri Gosling, IT Director, Invensys Rail Systems.
