Customer Challenge
John Zink Hamworthy Combustion, after maintaining a primary Vault Professional server with 9 world-wide replicated servers including 5 separate Vault Databases, decided to consolidate all Vaults into one primary GLOBAL vault, and then re-establish replication around the world. The task would require the standardization of workflows and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes.
Project Goals
John Zink Hamworthy Combustion’s goal, through the Vault Consolidation project, was to simplify the management of their engineering data and information for easier access and sharing through the entire world-wide John Zink Hamworthy combustion engineering community.
