The Client
MacLean Power Systems (MPS) is a leading manufacturer of insulator components and related products, serving electric utilities, telecommunications, and civil markets.
MPS is running JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as their back office ERP solution.
MPS partnered with Terillium to implement Oracle Fusion Cloud to modernize their supply chain operations.
MPS project drivers:
