Partner Case Study | CloudFronts
In manufacturing, precision is paramount. Machine quality, specification, and the accuracy of results is critical. That’s always been the case. What’s newer in the manufacturing world is the precision required from the systems that support operations. Manufacturers today are under pressure to deliver seamless customer experiences, whether through e-commerce or service operations, while also maintaining efficiency across global supply chains. Yet many still rely on aging integration frameworks or siloed systems that make it difficult to meet modern expectations. To keep up with the rapid pace of innovation and increased demands, many manufacturers rely on a partner to help them modernize operations, and one key ally for organizations in this space today is CloudFronts. As a Solutions Partner specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365, CloudFronts supports a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturing, by integrating and scaling business-critical systems with Azure, Power BI, and other Microsoft solutions. This expertise made them an appealing partner when Tinius Olsen, a long-established materials testing manufacturer, wanted to modernize multiple aspects of their digital infrastructure—and do so cost-effectively. The companies had partnered before when CloudFronts upgraded Tinius Olsen’s ERP in 2015. Now, they embarked on a digital transformation journey together to streamline integrations, improve efficiency, and open new opportunities for innovation. A digital modernization doubleheader With more than 140 years of history, Tinius Olsen has long been known for precision-engineered testing solutions used in a wide range of industries. But like many established manufacturers, Tinius Olsen faced technology challenges. As customer expectations shifted toward faster digital experiences and their internal IT landscape grew more complex, Tinius Olsen needed to modernize its technology backbone.

With a suite of Microsoft technology and an agile approach, Covenant helped the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund (IMSIF) connect their data, modernize their operations, and future-proof their mission. On a quiet street in Illinois, a homeowner discovers a troubling sight: a crack snaking across their driveway. Little do they know that old coal mine tunnels deep underground have subtly shifted, leaving their property susceptible to damage from mine subsidence. For decades, the Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund (IMSIF) has been helping homeowners and businesses manage this risk by making sure they have access to financial resources when the ground literally shifts beneath their feet. While IMSIF has been the steady support for property owners since 1979, they were facing their own challenge: legacy technology that made every claim, survey, and payment more complicated than it had to be. That's why they reached out to Covenant Technology Partners, a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner, who joined forces with IMSIF to reimagine and strengthen their foundation of support. A custom legacy system and siloed data IMSIF’s mission is as unique as it is essential. Created by state statute, the Fund helps assure financial resources are available to Illinois property owners at risk of mine subsidence, including through providing reinsurance to insurance companies, conducting investigations, supporting research, and educating the public. “They’re protecting homeowners who never would have thought they would be exposed to this extra risk of a house settling or even an outbuilding sinking because of a shaft shifting or collapsing,” said Lynn Glatt, Microsoft Dynamics ERP Solution Architect at Covenant. But manual data entry, duplicate records, and a patchwork of non-integrated processes made IMSIF’s day-to-day work a lot harder—and limited their potential impact. Claims, payments, reimbursements, and surveying were all managed in parallel, often requiring the same information to be entered into multiple systems. Worse still, the developer who built and maintained the original system had retired—leaving IMSIF with a looming knowledge gap and growing risk. “They were doing [all of this] in a homemade, crafted solution that kept one developer busy for almost 20 years,” Glatt said. “And when that person retired, they didn't have anybody who understood how it all linked together to that legacy system.” Continue reading here Explore all case studies or submit your own Subscribe to case studies tag to follow all new case study posts.
