Elevating Efficiency and Innovating Operations for a Leading Industrial Thread Manufacturer
Strategic Transformation in IT Landscape for a Global Industrial Thread Leader
The world’s leading industrial thread manufacturer, based in the UK, stands as a colossal player in the global market, with a sprawling presence in over 50 countries and a workforce of 17,000 employees. Their complex on-prem distribution of SAP landscape, with four geographical locations, 40+ TB of database and 300+ servers on AIX and Win posed significant challenges. These challenges included various security risks, the existing applications were on-premise and incurred high total cost of ownership (TCO). The infrastructure was traditional, the cloud adoption was minimal and there were scalability issues as well. The enterprise service management processes were decentralized across organization. The manual creation of tickets for onboarding users further introduced inconsistencies in data entry, errors, and duplication.
Given these challenges, the client sought a partner to revolutionize their IT service management, driving operational excellence while minimizing risks and costs. Brillio’s solution for the client was comprehensive and innovative addressing the business challenges and issues with the incumbent vendor while ensuring enhanced IT experience for end users. It involved the integration of operations leveraging the in-house brillioone.ai, especially the tool CLIP, enabling the monitoring and management of both SAP and Non-SAP applications. This was coupled with centralized ITSM (IT Service Management) processes for infrastructure and endCARE-user computing. Workflow-driven approach was adopted to ensure efficient handling of all requests. The solution incorporated an integrated approach of leveraging the power of UiPath’s Workflow Automation for service requests, combined with ServiceNow’s ITSM (Incident problem, and change Management, Event Management) capabilities, to automate mundane tasks and processes, to enhance efficiency, and promote consistency. Multilingual Managed service support was provided for SAP & Non-SAP applications to cater to the user requests with 24X7 coverage. The languages included Mandarin, Spanish and Portuguese for Service desk.
Catalyzing change towards a systematic strategy for reinventing IT Service Management
The deployment approach followed by Brillio was meticulous, starting with tools and assessments. The client was onboarded with the SAP suite, followed by an infra-assessment utilizing enterprise-grade tools such as Cloudamize, Movere, MAP, etc. ServiceNow was implemented to centralize processes and standardize tools globally. Along with this, various capabilities were incorporated as well for Auto Ticketing, Auto Escalation (based on escalation matrix). This was followed by the integration of ITSM with third party tools such as SAP Solution Manager and SolarWinds. Multiple persona-based dashboards in ServiceNow were created for different Leadership groups and other support groups to consume. These streamlined business operations by providing drill-down capabilities on KPI data and SLA information.
