Who is **SMC Corporation?**

SMC is a global leader in pneumatic technology, providing various industries with technology and products to support efficient automation.

What was the challenge?

With an on-premise AP Automation solution, SMC was missing functionality available in later versions. Time and resources were needed from IT to support upgrades.

How did we help?

SMC has the latest functionality, better accessibility, and predictable cost throughout the contract period. Plus dashboards and analytics allow SMC to measure performance.

"Today we handle the solution without nearly any involvement from IT. Plus, since Medius
AP Automation is a subscription-based cloud service we now have a predictable total cost throughout the contract period."
