Precision Disc Castings’ use of compression technology to solve group-wide network traffic problems led the Best of British panel to award it a Highly Commended honour. The firm, one of Europe’s leading producers of automotive brake discs and drums, has two foundries, one in Poole, Dorset, another in the Czech republic, plus two further finishing plants, one in Dudley and the other in Germany, as well as remote branches. Two and a half years ago, it implemented a Foxpro ERP system across all sites, with multiple instances served in a Citrix environment from the Poole data centre, covering around 20 users. But when that grew to around 50, it soon hit problems.
