Implementation
Modular Wind Energy produces wind turbine blades for manufacturers of multi-megawatt wind turbines. Located
in Hunting Beach, CA, Modular uses a revolutionary structural technology, resulting in longer, lighter, more reliable
blades. This allows their wind turbine manufacturing customers to offer wind generation at a lower cost.

Modular Wind Energy faced a problem with information fragmentation. An overly complex database, including
multiple vendors and accounting systems, made the purchasing process too complex across their organization in all
departments. Modular needed a complete solution that would seamlessly integrate with their existing systems
and databases. The solution would need to simplify the purchase process so it could be approved through the
correct user channels based on their roles and access rights, as well as provide collaboration tools to better unify
theorganization.
Modular sought the assistance of AllianceTek, an IT solutions and software development company with experience
in providing custom technology solutions to businesses worldwide. AllianceTek had expertise in information
systems that would help Modular create a better way of using their current database. AllianceTek evaluated
Modular's organizational architecture and purchasing process and designed an innovative solution to improve
Modular's user's performance, collaboration, and security. The solution includes enhanced features like vendor
details, job codes & category, user Permissions, account list & account category, shipping locations, material types,
material master, purchasing requisition and PO master .The solution was developed end-to-end, from scoping to
requirementsdefinitions,development,deployment,maintenance,support,andhosting.
AllianceTek created the solution as an integrated SharePoint application, so all the purchase request data can be
housed within SharePoint. This allowed the purchase request at Modular to be routed and approved through the
correct users based on their assigned roles and access rights. The solution made the various account codes
currently available with the purchasing request and integrated the current vendor, PO and BOM database. The
development took place on the Foundation version of the SharePoint Server and was then deployed on Modular's
currentSharePointserver.
