Manufacturing
Why
Data has the power to change the world, but converting business data into added customer value can be difficult. You need to find insights that bring value to customers and help differentiate your products in the market. It can be equally challenging to manage your systems landscape and the large number of data flows.
Key industry challenges
Customers have access to global markets meaning competition is no longer local
Advanced data analytics, cloud computing, and machine learning are needed to draw insights from big data and vast amounts of enterprise data created in various business systems
Cybersecurity, traceability and sustainability requirements increasing
Data-led digital production and services require deep integration with enterprise business processes and systems
What
In the manufacturing industry, digitalization often involves switching from a product-centric to a service-centric business model or the leveraging of the industrial Internet. Whichever path you have in mind, before you invest in modern service architecture or data crunching capacity you need to have a clear goal. You should understand what added value you can provide to your customers with data. You also need to make sure that they are willing to pay for the added value.
We can help you take advantage of data and digitalization in a way that provides value not just to your business, but to your customers as well. Digitalization opens up new business models and even access to new markets. But companies need to be quick to employ the new opportunities. A partnership with us helps your business perform better and improves the customer experience.
How
Whether you are just getting started on your digitalization journey, or about to reach a fully-servitized business model, we've got your back. Using agile development methodology, we stay by your side every step of the way. Agile development helps us maintain the ability to redirect development efforts as and when needed, based on data and feedback gained from customers or other ecosystem stakeholders.
Verification of value creation
We can help you identify use cases that drive the switch to service-centric business models, such as market shifts or operations bottlenecks. We can help assess the expected financial impact of different development initiatives and prioritize them. We can also map the impacts the initiatives have on internal and external stakeholders.
Purpose-built data and system architecture
We identify all relevant processes, systems, and data sources. We can evaluate your current architecture and assess which internal stakeholders need to be taken on board. We then design a system and data architecture that serves your needs well into the future.
