Who they are

A global leader in defense and aerospace, this multinational company specializes in developing, engineering, and manufacturing military and security solutions. With over 80,000 employees operating in more than 40 countries, it manages a vast array of operational and engineering data to support its worldwide operations.

Goal

Master data to reduce risk and empower business users

This aerospace company sought to modernize its back-office systems and address critical data challenges to improve compliance, enhance data stewardship, streamline operations, and mitigate operational risks across the enterprise. They had to overcome a few key challenges to do so:

Outdated systems

Previous tools were complex, required manual intervention, and lacked business-user involvement.

Compliance risks

Managing export-controlled components required granular tracking that existing systems couldn’t support.

Integration complexity

Inconsistent data across multiple systems slowed workflows and operational efficiency.

Scalability concerns

Legacy systems struggled to meet the growing needs of a multinational enterprise.

Strategy

Implement an agile solution to enable data champions

This company partnered with Semarchy to deploy a modern solution that addressed their challenges while enabling iterative deployment and scalability for future growth.

  • Proof of Value (PoV): Tested platform capabilities and integration across data domains, accelerating implementation while delivering immediate business value.
  • Empowering business users: Provided tools that enable non-technical teams to manage data efficiently, reducing reliance on IT.
  • Enhancing compliance: Built a Controlled Parts Register (CPR) to track export-controlled components at a granular level.
  • Iterative deployment: Implemented in phases, refining the platform to meet evolving needs across various data domains.
Results

A scalable foundation for risk mitigation and data stewardship
