Netenrich redefined ITOps (IT operations) transformation of an auto company to meet financial and efficiency target.

Due to the nature of the client’s business landscape and continuous acquisitions, they lacked visibility into the increasing number of IT towers coupled with increased costs, hardships with resource management and allocation, and limitations with infrastructure optimization. Various business drivers pushed the client towards a change in their IT operations, but the key driver was the need for their IT team to emerge as a strategic partner to provide a competitive edge for the business. The IT towers from various business units were operating as designated groups, who could not strategically align with the business operations. The lack of communication and the inability to collaborate with one another resulted in ineffective project prioritization. These difficulties drastically changed the position of the client’s IT team, which was proving to be a cost center rather than a function of business innovation. |
The challenges faced by the client are summarized below:The parent company was unable to find efficient ways to manage the company's IT infrastructure and its day-to-day-operations. IT teams were under constant pressure to reduce IT costs and to enable profit maximization for the business units. IT teams could not facilitate collaboration among each other or in their engagement with business units. IT teams were not able to support new business projects as they were constantly in a fire-fighting mode. |
The client wanted to redefine the value and perception of their IT function within their organization by partnering with Netenrich, for their IT Ops transformation. They required an efficient reorganization of their IT function to meet financial and efficiency targets.
Netenrich's solution proposal was multi-pronged. It proposed to implement OpsRamp (previously Vistara), an end-to-end IT infrastructure management solution, to align the client’s IT services to its business needs. With a seamless integration to OpsRamp, the IT towers could either continue using their proprietary monitoring tools or switch to the monitoring tools provided by OpsRamp.
Additionally, Netenrich's foundational solution - Enterprise Command Center (ECC), enabled the client’s IT team to improve collaboration among its previously siloed IT towers and delivered a clear, consolidated single-pane-of-view to display alerts, resource utilization, and allocation.
