Rolls-Royce: a multi-million engine patched with Excel
An aero-engine maker mastered 30,000 components and 12 GB of data a day on Mendix, ending Shadow IT.

The challenge
Critical engine data lived in Excel and local tools (Shadow IT). 30,000 components and huge data volumes without a single, controlled source of truth.
What Mendix did
A single, auditable system was built on Mendix that mastered 30,000 components and 12 GB of data a day. Shadow IT gave way to control and traceability.
Results
What it means for your business
