IT Revitalization (ITR)

In the Flat World, Discrete Manufacturing companies must be nimble to respond to changing business needs. Companies typically spend 65%-75% of their IT budgets on sustaining existing IT applications and running day-to-day operations, leaving only a small portion of the budget for transformational initiatives. The inability to change legacy applications restricts Discrete Manufacturing companies from responding quickly to the dynamic market environment.

To leverage existing IT investments, companies must:
  • Renovate the IT portfolio iteratively instead of implementing massive, risky transformational initiatives
  • Embrace newer platforms offered by ERP vendors without discarding good legacy investments, and maximize the benefits from ERP investments
  • Simplify/ standardize IT portfolio to make it more agile and efficient
