Oxley Group - Business Process Automation

How Synergy Helped Oxley Group Automate Business Processes with SharePoint and Nintex

Founded in 1942 Oxley Group specializes in the design and manufacture of electronic and electro–optic systems and components.

OVERVIEW:

Founded in 1942 Oxley Group specializes in the design and manufacture of electronic and electro–optic systems and components. Oxley Group has two subsidiary companies: Oxley Developments Company Ltd in the UK and Oxley Inc in the USA. Oxley Inc. is a privately owned US incorporated business founded in California in 1976 to supply electronics components to the defense and aerospace market.

Goals / Challenges:

Oxley Group, a global manufacturer of electronic and electro-optic systems, faced mounting operational inefficiencies due to a large number of manual processes. With multiple facilities spread across regions, even within the same country, improving these workflows was complicated by communication bottlenecks and siloed information.

Executives at Oxley recognized that outdated systems were holding teams back. They needed a solution that could not only automate manual tasks but also improve document management, streamline internal communication, and provide real-time analytics to help leaders make faster, smarter decisions.

Key goals included:

• Replacing numerous manual workflows with automation

• Improving regional and global communication across departments

• Implementing robust document management capabilities

• Providing business intelligence tools for faster decision-making

Solution/Approach:

To solve these challenges, Synergy conducted a deep discovery process with stakeholders across Oxley’s departments. The team quickly identified Microsoft SharePoint and Nintex Workflow as the ideal technologies to drive digital transformation.

Synergy developed a SharePoint-based intranet portal tailored to Oxley’s communication and process needs. Using Microsoft InfoPath forms and over a dozen Nintex Workflows, Synergy automated complex, manual business tasks—turning once time-consuming operations into fast, measurable, and reliable digital processes.

Key solution components included:

• Deployment of a modern SharePoint collaboration portal

• Automation of manual processes using Nintex Workflows

• Leveraging SharePoint’s built-in communication and document management features

• Delivering business intelligence dashboards and analytics to help managers monitor workflows

“Delivering a solution that supported Oxley’s need for secure, scalable IT infrastructure was an exciting challenge. Our ability to customize the deployment and streamline their processes speaks to the adaptability of our approach.”

— Steven Unsworth, Lead Architect, Synergy

The Results:

Since the deployment of SharePoint and over 12 custom Nintex Workflows, Oxley Group has experienced substantial improvements in both productivity and operational visibility. Manual processes were transformed into efficient, trackable workflows that dramatically reduced completion times and improved reliability—regardless of team location.

With the new system in place, Oxley has also:

• Eliminated key communication bottlenecks

• Gained historical analytical data to inform process improvement

• Improved procurement, manufacturing, and shipping workflows

• Replaced outdated line-of-business systems with a centralized, web-based intranet

• Reduced IT overhead and licensing costs by consolidating systems

By partnering with Synergy, Oxley now operates with greater clarity, efficiency, and scalability—better equipped to meet the demands of its global customers.
