The Challenge

MT Højgaard, a leading construction company in Denmark, faced a significant challenge when a subsidiary needed to retire several aging web applications and workflows used by over 400 field staff. The company had been using Lotus Notes, but the software hadn't seen development in three to four years, making the shift to online a significant challenge for the users. The company's subsidiary, Lindpro, had several outdated ASP.NET web applications running on Windows 2003 servers that needed to connect to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Lindpro was also concerned about preserving the workflows staff used in the field. The existing forms were hosted in a central location that was slated for decommission, making it critical to improve the system while preserving their data for all projects.

About The Customer

MT Højgaard is a leading construction company based in Denmark. The company has over 4,000 employees and has been in business for several decades. The company's subsidiary, Lindpro, handles core electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems for industrial and commercial use. About half of Lindpro's 1,000 employees across Denmark work in the field, traveling to construction sites in vans and gathering the information they need to fill out the required documentation using their iPads. The company had been using Lotus Notes and had several outdated ASP.NET web applications running on Windows 2003 servers.

The Solution

MT Højgaard turned to Nintex for Office 365, recommended by partner ProActive, to handle forms, including quality and assurance, embedding photos and video, and uploading them for manager review without having to return to the office. Nintex was chosen due to its ease of adoption and its ability to deliver the workflows and forms the group needed. Using Nintex to integrate with Azure, the company pulled the data into Nintex Forms for Office 365 and created workflows so that staff could approve or follow up on the status of each work case. This provided a significant improvement in capability. Nintex's mobile capabilities on the iPad improved efficiency, increased the time employees could spend with customers, and decreased errors since staff could complete quality and assurance checks while what they were checking was right in front of them.

Operational Impact

The implementation of Nintex for Office 365 has resulted in a significant shift in the company's operations. Employees who were initially reluctant to adopt digital solutions now believe that easy can also be reliable. The ability to document installations, including preexisting concerns, with lengthy descriptions and digital photographs has improved the quality of documentation. The ability to work offline and upload forms as soon as they come into range has saved critical time during the day. The elimination of paper and duplicate forms has not only saved time and costs but also ensured that documentation is archived properly. The shift to Nintex has allowed the business to focus more on the customers and the IT department to decrease the time from idea to solution by speeding up the deployment cycle.

Quantitative Benefit

More time to spend with customers due to the ability to handle forms and upload them for review without returning to the office.
Sped-up deployment from drag-and-drop configuration.
Decreased errors since staff can complete quality and assurance checks while what they are checking is right in front of them.
