    Powerful MES platform held back by implementation and governance

    3.0
    Jul 31, 2026
    While GE proficy appears to be a capable platform that aligns with our manufacturing requirement's, our overall experience has been challenging. The implementation lacked sufficient governance, architectural oversight, and standardization, resulting in technical debt and inconsistent solution across sites. These issues significantly affected confidence in the development and ultimately led to us replacing GE as the implementation partner. The product itself has the potential to deliver value, but that value has been undermined by the quality of the implementation approach and the need to address architectural issues after deployment.

Dislike

The primary challenges were related to the implementation approach rather than the product itself. Insufficient governance and architectural oversight during implementation, resulting in inconsistent solution across different sites. Limited implementation standards and best practices, leading to technical debt that required significant remediation after deployment. Complex integrations with enterprise systems required more robust design, testing, and ownership than was provided. Greater focus on delivering functionality than establishing a scalable, standardized global template. More proactive technical leadership and solution assurance would have reduced rework and long-term maintainability.
