(USA)  – IntraStage, a provider of Test Data Management, Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Analytics software solutions has been chosen to replace the existing SPC software infrastructure at a Fortune 100 company building highly-engineered products.

SPC and Six Sigma practices are now a business norm amongst companies in the Electronics Industry.  These SPC practices mandate continuous monitoring, feedback and improvement of their manufacturing processes. “We have seen a large number of customers build a homegrown software solution to solve their Test Data Management and SPC mandates” says Patrick Kelly, CEO of IntraStage. “Typically these customers have had a solution for a long time or just starting to building one. Although this gets some flexibility for the customer in the way of customization there are some drawbacks that substantially increase the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the long run. Such issues such as losing original software developers, adding new features, maintaining underlying technology upgrades and overall modularity are some of the bigger issues”.

By moving to a standard Commercial-off-the-Shelf SPC solution, the customer will experience significant leading-edge technology upgrades and will be able to redeploy staff to focus on adding value to the company rather than just trying to maintain an archaic and aging software system. In addition, IntraStage will provide a solid roadmap of new features which will be fed by industry best practices.
