MacLean Power Systems Establishes a Single Source of Truth with GoSaaS and Oracle Cloud PLM & PIM
Business Challenges
MacLean Power Systems is a leading manufacturer of electric power utility products, supporting a diverse portfolio of solutions used by utilities worldwide. As the company continued to grow and expand its product offerings, it became increasingly important to manage product data with greater consistency, accuracy, traceability and control. Partnering with GoSaaS, MacLean identified the need for a modern, centralized PLM and master data management approach to overcome limitations of its existing tools and support scalable, well-governed product data across the organization.
- No formal PLM or MDM system in place
- Heavy reliance on home-grown tools, SharePoint, and Excel
- Product and design data scattered across systems with inconsistent mappings
- Need to maintain NPI and item creation in JD Edwards while synchronizing data to the cloud
- Limited data governance and readiness for downstream consumption
“The go-live went really well — the GoSaaS team worked closely with our users, helped drive data cleanup, and made sure everyone understood what was needed. Their flexibility and hands-on support made a big difference. GoSaaS didn’t just implement Oracle PLM — they partnered with us to help our business users succeed.”
- Ashish Shah, VP of IT, MacLean Power Systems
Solution and Results
To address these challenges, MacLean Power Systems teamed up with GoSaaS to implement Oracle Cloud PLM and PIM as a centralized, cloud-based master data management platform. The solution replaced fragmented legacy tools with a single source of truth, while maintaining seamless integration with JD Edwards and design data sources. This modern foundation enabled MacLean to standardize product data, improve governance, and deliver measurable business results following go-live.
- Established a single source of truth by consolidating product and item data from JD Edwards, design files, and legacy systems
- Successfully decommissioned home-grown tools, SharePoint, and Excel, reducing system complexity and risk
- Improved data quality, consistency, and governance across product and item master data
- Enabled product data readiness for downstream use, including marketing, distributors, and digital channels
- Maintained NPI and item creation in JD Edwards with seamless synchronization to Oracle Cloud PIM
- Completed go-live with no open hypercare or post–go-live issues, ensuring a stable transition
- Delivered a scalable, cloud-based PLM/MDM foundation to support future growth and governance initiatives
With the support of GoSaaS, MacLean Power Systems successfully transformed its fragmented product data environment into a centralized, scalable master data platform. The solution delivered improved data governance, greater visibility, and a reliable single source of truth that supports both current operations and future growth. With a stable go-live and a strong foundation in place, MacLean is now well positioned to enhance downstream data usage, strengthen data governance practices, and continue modernizing its digital landscape.
