(http://www.ca.com/us/service-automation.aspx ) solutions to
optimize global production planning. CA Workload Automation
(http://www.ca.com/us/workload-automation.aspx) manages Devanlay's

From the production of the first Lacoste
Polo shirt in 1933, Devanlay has grown into a global
business spanning Europe, US and
Asia . Devanlay is now also
responsible for global product distribution and marketing which has
had significant impact on their IT infrastructure.
Laurent Caroujat, Head of Planning in Devanlay's Information
Systems Department explained, "Previously production planning was
carried out by one employee for each business and was fragmented.
The globalization of our business has had a significant impact on
production and operations across the entire supply chain. Trying to
support just in time production and fulfillment of orders, forced
us to rethink how we plan as a business and more generally about
how our IS support that".
Devanlay required a planning solution that could schedule
event-based workloads across a heterogeneous infrastructure
providing self-service for non-IT personnel. The solution also
needed to be scalable to meet the evolving demands of Devanlay's
global expansion.
The company opted for CA Workload Automation, for its speed of
deployment (less than two months) with no disruption to
business.
Devanlay recently implemented CA Process Automation. The
solution automates IT processes such as requests with the correct
email attachment, previously performed manually.
