Prodrive researched the market, tested the complete My MX Data platform for 30 days and selected a service that combined straightforward adoption, visible activity, responsive UK support and value aligned with its requirements.
Best known for motorsport, Prodrive has diversified into a wider technology business serving multiple sectors. Its UK operations employ more than 500 people across Banbury and Milton Keynes.
The assessment needed to address concerns associated with the incumbent tool while demonstrating practical benefits for day-to-day secure exchanges.
Prodrive is a world-leading motorsport and technology business. Motorsport remains central to its identity, but it forms one part of a wider organisation working across a range of sectors and technical disciplines.
That environment requires business information and project files to move between internal users, customers and partners through a process that people can understand and rely upon.
Prodrive explored the market before selecting an MX 100 plan that could provide up to 100 users with the ability to send and receive an unlimited number of files through a controlled environment.
The team assessed potential providers against a strict set of requirements rather than making a decision on headline features alone. This created a structured benchmark for usability, service continuity, visibility and commercial fit.
A 30-day trial gave Prodrive access to the complete platform and allowed prospective users to evaluate the experience directly. The test helped the team confirm that the service was easy to navigate and that the dashboard presented recent activity clearly.
For organisations running a similar evaluation, a hands-on My MX Data trial provides an opportunity to test controlled file exchange against real workflows before a wider rollout.
The system was extremely easy to use.
Prodrive's selection was shaped by the complete operating experience: how quickly people could become comfortable with the platform, how clearly activity could be reviewed and how effectively questions were handled.
Users found the system easy to operate, reducing the friction commonly associated with introducing a new external file-exchange process.
The dashboard's presentation and activity view were well received, giving users a clearer picture of recent exchange events.
Prodrive considered MX better aligned with its current budget than the competing options assessed during the market review.
According to Majenta Solutions, Prodrive was considering a replacement because of downtime experienced during upgrades and uncertainty around the future of its existing tool.
The detailed benchmark allowed the teams to work through those concerns directly. It also demonstrated additional benefits including controlled exchange, automatic notifications and one-click reporting.
This is the distinction between a general file-sharing purchase and a more considered corporate file-exchange decision: the chosen process must remain usable while giving the organisation stronger oversight and evidence.
We are thrilled to have Prodrive on board, as we felt that they really share our passion and vision for MX. Prodrive were looking to replace their incumbent tool due to the down-time seen during upgrades, as well as concerns over the future of the tool.
During the trial, Prodrive reported that minor onboarding questions were resolved quickly and efficiently by the UK-based support team.
Confidence was also strengthened because two of Prodrive's customers already used MX as their trusted data exchange provider, while the business had prior experience of the platform through Aston Martin.
