ITT Industries Corporation is a high-technology engineering and manufacturing organization. The organization provides products and services for fluid technology, defense electronics and services, along with motion and flow control. The company is currently operating in 55 countries.
Business Situation
ITT was using an Access 97 database for tracking customer orders, which is no longer supported by Microsoft if any technical issues arise. The ITT office relied heavily on this database and operating it on an unsupported platform provided them with no backup plan if it were to incur technical issues.
Solution
Supported Access Database
The alligatortek team converted the database to the Microsoft Access 2003 platform. Every screen, report, data table, and line of programming code was analyzed, updated, and tested. While converting the system, dozens of screens, reports, and hundreds of lines of programming code were analyzed and updated. alligatortek executed and delivered the solution on time and on budget which enabled the company to continue to perform daily operations in an efficient and automated manner. The investment by ITT ensures that their order tracking database will be supported by Microsoft through 2014.
