HxGN and Infor OS multi-tenant cloud solution to support 400 users for specialist equipment and integrated engineering services group.
Infor and Hexagon Gold Channel partner Progressive TSL announced that as part of its digital transformation programme, Sparrows Group have made the decision to move its existing on-premises HxGN EAM (formerly Infor EAM) asset management system to a cloud platform.
Sparrows Group is an engineering and maintenance services specialist for the global energy and industrial sectors. The company has a long-standing relationship with Progressive, who have been its Infor EAM partner since the original implementation in 2015.
Sparrows Group have benefitted from the rich functionality of HxGN EAM for many years. HxGN EAM already helps to drive the group’s end-to-end procurement and supply chain management processing. This is coupled with the powerful Infor OS platform for purchase approval on mobile devices. The multi-currency solution is used across Sparrows’ European, Middle East, African and Asian sites.
Sparrows decided that now is the right time to take advantage of the benefits a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution brings. The company asked Progressive to use its specialist expertise to support it through the next stage in its digital journey. The cloud solution supports 400 Sparrows asset management and procurement users. Sparrow’s remaining on-premises systems will be integrated with the new cloud EAM.
The move to the multi-tenant cloud brings to Sparrows Group the potential for significant cost savings and business benefits, including:
- Reduced total cost of ownership
- Seamless access to the latest updates and innovations
- Enhanced performance, reliability and availability
- Greater scalability
“We have recently worked with Progressive to transition from our current on-premise EAM solution to the cloud. The new SaaS offering delivers clear benefits, with automatic software updates and cybersecurity compliance being just a few of the many advantages.”
Michael Reid, Finance Systems Manager, Sparrows Group
“We congratulate Sparrows for making the forward-looking decision to move to a SaaS EAM solution. Progressive will be using our specialist technical expertise and tools to ensure a smooth transition of Sparrows Group’s 400+ Infor EAM users to the Infor cloud.”
Chris Walcot, CEO, Progressive TSL
“Due to the breadth of capability in HxGN EAM (formerly Infor EAM), Sparrows was able to optimise its supply chain and procurement operations that surround its asset management activities. By using HxGN EAM in the cloud, Sparrows can expect to benefit from more transparency, control, and better decision-making options, helping to improve the performance and efficiency of its international operations.”
Anwen Robinson, GM and SVP of UK & Ireland, Infor
