The Challenge
PMC Hydraulics Group was faced with the challenge of updating its outdated Microsoft Dynamics AX R2 environment, which was nearing the end of its lifecycle. The situation was further complicated by Microsoft's decision to end updates for on-premises AX R2 Dynamics solutions by October 2021. PMC Hydraulics Group also needed to harmonize its numerous business-critical processes and unify its operation model across its operating countries. The company was seeking a more efficient and cost-effective ERP solution that would allow for future-proof development, support, and simplified maintenance.

PMC Hydraulics Group is a leading provider of innovative hydraulic systems and components in the Nordics. The company serves the industrial, energy, mobile, and marine sectors. With operations in the Nordics, Baltic countries, Poland, China, and India, PMC Hydraulics offers world-leading solutions for high-end systems and a full line of hydraulic components from top manufacturers. The company's strategic decision to move from a country-specific ERP setup to a more unified group-wide ERP solution was a significant step towards harmonizing its operating model and using ERP features consistently throughout its operations.
The Solution
PMC Hydraulics Group partnered with Tietoevry, a multinational expert team, to transition from an on-premises ERP to a cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O ERP. The project was delivered as a turnkey solution, with minimal changes and disruption to ongoing business operations. The cloud-based ERP solution supports full ERP functionality, covering production, warehousing, logistics, sales, purchasing, and financial operations. The cloud-based ERP also enabled the unification of business-critical processes across multi-country operations. The cloud version of D365 is upgraded several times a year, ensuring that the ERP is always up to date with the latest features. Automated testing further streamlined operations.
Operational Impact
  • The transition to a cloud-based ERP solution has resulted in significant operational benefits for PMC Hydraulics Group. The company now has a unified operating model across all its operating countries, which has streamlined its business-critical processes. The cloud-based ERP solution has also improved the user experience, thanks to its easy, browser-based user interface. Furthermore, the cloud-based solution ensures that PMC Hydraulics Group always has access to the latest features, without the need for separate add-on programs. The company has also benefited from the continuous support offered by TietoEVRY, which has further enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations.
Quantitative Benefit
  • The cloud-based ERP solution was implemented with fewer than 20 changes in the entire delivery scope, ensuring cost-efficient development, support, and maintenance.
  • The cloud version of D365 is upgraded several times a year, ensuring that the ERP is always up to date with the latest features.
