Manufacturing

In today's dynamic global marketplace, manufacturing remains an important driver of innovation. The new, flexible “plug-and-play factory” concept where components can be customized and produced, is enabled by supply chain and production management, scheduling, and even ERP solutions that are shared and run from the Cloud. CRM, SCM and other customer oriented solutions are gaining importance as manufacturers realize the criticality of customization, and as they internationalize their footprints, visibility and collaboration across these chains are becoming increasingly critical. “Manuservicing” will see companies increasing the after-market services for their products. As this sector evolves with new technologies, products, and ways of working, manufacturers will need new strategies to stay ahead of the competition.

• Digital System Integration (DSI™): Through its system integration approach to digitalization, HCL enables technology-led business process transformation for its clients. We help clients be “reborn digitally” by transforming their application landscapes to a future ready infrastructure with a single view of data across the enterprise.

• HCL’s ALT ASM™ Framework for the Manufacturing sector. Maintaining your existing IT systems even while investing in new solutions can be quite challenging, requiring well planned processes. Our ALT ASM™ framework – our alternative view on ASM – is enabling G2000 manufacturing companies standardize their application support environments by cutting application support costs, reducing incident volumes, and process cycle times. The framework adopts what we call - a “proactive obsolescence” approach - which provides incremental value beyond the traditional ASM contract and unlocks a large amount of working capital from our clients’ ASM spend. This unlocked capital can then be re-invested in new disruptive technologies. HCL’s ALT ASM is helping organizations achieve their target of maximizing revenues and minimizing spends.
