How CGI's Techyon Project enhanced performance and usability with MUI X

CGI logo

Overview

CGI is a global leader in IT and business consulting, providing innovative digital solutions across various industries. Their Techyon project is dedicated to transforming the energy sector by integrating AI, machine learning, IoT, and cloud-based services to optimize internal operations and data flow.

MUI X helps our developers—who aren't designers—effortlessly create well-designed interfaces. The structured and strict nature of the components ensures a consistent development process, which is crucial for maintaining quality.

When we switched to MUI X's Data Grid and fine-tuned it, the performance issues disappeared—it felt like pure magic. MUI X quickly became a go-to tool in Techyon's stack, helping CGI deliver a high-performance, future-ready solution for the energy industry.

Challenge

As the energy sector was undergoing rapid transformation, CGI needed a high-performance, scalable GUI to support Techyon's advanced capabilities. Their key challenges included:

  • Performance bottlenecks, as handling massive data from their Google Cloud without pagination led to slow load times and poor UX.
  • Creating an intuitive, consistent, and user-friendly interface for energy operators and analysts.
  • Ensuring developers could quickly build and iterate without wasting time on minor yet complex UI issues.

Solution

CGI adopted the Data Grid as the foundation for Techyon's GUI, providing:

  • A seamless, modern UI for managing workflows and energy data.
  • High-performance data handling, even with tens of thousands of rows displayed at once.
  • Structured, easy-to-use components, enabling developers to build interfaces effortlessly.
  • A consistent design system, ensuring a professional and unified look across the platform.

Results

After implementing MUI X, the Techyon team no longer had to deal with a sluggish UI, and could reap the benefits of instant data loading for large datasets. A streamlined design process that enabled their developers to create polished interfaces without needing a design background. MUI X's well-documented components simplified UI implementation and helped them achieve faster development cycles.

Developer experience

CGI's team found MUI X's documentation to be clear, organized, and developer-friendly, making it easy for both new and experienced developers to use components.

For teams looking to build data-heavy applications efficiently, CGI highly recommends MUI X as a powerful, time-saving solution. Its advanced components (such as grids, filters, and tables) provide both flexibility and enterprise-grade performance.
