Xerox selects TranscenData for integration solutions.
ITI TranscenData has announced its selection by Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX) to provide a solution for integrating the company's engineering supply chain. Xerox is employing TranscenData's DEXcenter (Data Exchange Center) tool to translate and transfer files between departments, customers and suppliers. DEXcenter is a web-based solution that automates, centralises and manages the exchange of engineering product data throughout the supply chain, regardless of that data's type, source, or destination.
Total time to market savings for Xerox as a result of its DEXcenter are estimated to be in the order of $8 million to $10 million (£7.1 million). "Yearly resource savings of $1.8 million (£1.275 million) alone are the direct result of our transition to DEXcenter's more effective and automated electronic data exchange process," explained Bud Krayer, CAD/CAM Project Manager in Xerox Research & Technology, Corporate Engineering Center, Engineering Systems. "Furthermore, DEXcenter tightly integrates our supply chain, resulting in more efficiency and faster time to market."
"Xerox is a prime example of today's new business environment," explained John Meaney, General Manager EMEA for TranscenData Europe. "It is imperative for organisations to become tightly integrated with their supply chain. DEXcenter adds value to our customers' data by extending its use throughout all phases of engineering and manufacturing."
He continues, "This solution enables Xerox to focus resources and activities on continuing to develop innovative world-class products and sustaining its leading position with confidence that data can be freely shared. We are very pleased to have been entrusted with the interoperability success of Xerox."
