Information Technology Consulting

As in the case of every other organizational domain, technology has a transformational impact on how supply chains operate especially in a changing global environment. While all customers and logistics service providers agree that IT is a key enabler and a potential source of competitive advantage for them, they also are clear that there is a clear gap between performance of IT and expectation from IT.

The key issue here is that executives at different levels of the organization (CIOs, Business Leadership, IT Execution teams and Supply Chain executives) have different needs and perceptions of IT. Hence the first step is to understand what the expectation from IT is for each of the different levels in the organization.

IT Strategy & Planning:

Clearly CIOs and Business Leaders are grappling with the following questions at a strategic level.

  • What should be my IT roadmap and investments for the next 3-5 years?
  • What should be my outsourcing strategy?
  • Is my IT Organization equipped with the right people, processes and tools for managing growth?
  • What criteria should I use for selecting an enterprise package for my organization?
  • How do I enable Service Orientation in my organization?
  • I have a merger happening in my organization. Can you help in the post-merger integration of IT?

IT Execution:
IT execution leadership and Program Managers are trying to ensure the success of their IT initiatives.

  • How do I better manage these large IT transformation programs that I am running?
  • How do I implement products successfully including bringing on the business on board through change management?
  • How do I ensure the right requirements are defined for an implementation I am planning?
  • What is the business case for the project that I am running?
Technology for Supply Chain:
In addition, Supply Chain businesses are asking IT for better, more effective solutions to manage their business operations.

  • How do I gain visibility across the supply chain from the supplier to the end customer thereby enabling transparency?
  • How do I get better forecasting and supply chain flexibility through demand planning solutions?
  • How do I leverage new technologies such as Mobility and RFID for my business?
  • What kind of optimization tools do I need to look at for my supply chain networks?
  • How can I ensure success of my ERP implementation?

This is where an experienced team like AquaMCG can create a difference. AquaMCG looks at IT as not just an enabler for business as usual; instead, IT will need to become a growth driver. However to achieve that level of sophistication it is important to view IT as not just a cost but as a source of innovation for business delivery.

Our offerings essentially look at helping customers optimize their technology landscape (people, processes and tools) looking at the existing setup and the business goals. In addition, we have solutions for specific Supply Chain business issues where technology can address business pain-points.
