Maconomy has delivered a remarkable proof point on the market for ERP solutions for project-focused organizations. In close collaboration with Kantar Group, Maconomy has proven that its solutions can be scaled up to support more than 60,000 users on a single server and database. Kantar Group is the parent company of several global market research powerhouses, including Research International and Millward Brown.
Currently Maconomy’s largest single implementation has around 8,000 active users. But Kantar Group, a long-time Maconomy client, wanted to know if Maconomy could potentially scale their system to 35,000 users. This would enable Kantar Group to consolidate their entire global organization and help them prepare for future growth. Maconomy ran a series of performance tests on-site at Kantar Group to determine whether the solution could be scaled up to support 35,000 users with adequate performance. As it turned out, the system’s capacity was even greater.
“Our tests showed that we could expand our system capacity to over 60,000 users by using standard software and regular performance tweaks. We even tested on-site with the client during the peak month-end period. We used these test results to fine-tune our database setup and now we’ve presented solid proof to Kantar Group that we can support their worldwide operations throughout their organization,” says Allan Junge Hyldal, Solution Management Director, Maconomy.
