Two systems, no headaches: Genentech migrates from legacy solution to the PI System™

Few data projects are more daunting than moving data on a large scale from one software system to another. Genentech had more than 20 years’ worth of data in a legacy system that tracked operations at its large San Francisco campus. The company faced a pressing need to integrate data with its corporate parent. Working with RoviSys, a control-system integrator and partner, Genentech used a custom application in conjunction with Asset Framework software-development kit to migrate and validate billions of process and batch data points, as well as a series of tools developed over the years to support operations.
