CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Tata Steel has
chosen CA Technologies to help accelerate the innovation of new
steel solutions to drive top-line growth.
The company, which supplies steel and related services to many
demanding markets worldwide, will use the CA Clarity™ Project and
Portfolio Management (PPM) to manage the entire new product and
service lifecycle from innovation and product design through
production and delivery. As a result, Tata Steel expects to achieve
a structured approach to innovation which will help drive
profitability and competitive differentiation, and enhance customer
satisfaction.
“The PPM Solution will help us to more efficiently innovate to
speed our products to market, build market share and better align
with customer needs,” said Rene Kieft, manager, product development
portfolio and IP strategy, strategic marketing, Tata Steel.
“Efficiency is not about cutting costs, but about using what you
have the best way possible, getting the most out of resources and
facilities. CA Clarity PPM will enable us to continue to innovate
and adapt to customer demands.”
Tata Steel has been transforming its European operations into a
more customer-focused organisation by realigning its internal
resources to industry sectors such as automotive, lifting and
excavating, energy and power, packaging, construction and rail.
This new organisational structure enables Tata Steel to better
support customers for success in their markets. By gaining better
insight into customer needs and emerging market opportunities, Tata
Steel can quickly innovate in ways that better drive company
growth.
CA Clarity PPM will be used to better manage this process. By
overcoming silos of innovations that previously resided in each
business unit, the PPM solution will help optimise Tata Steel’s
time-to-value and return on investment, by aligning the portfolio
of innovation initiatives with the steelmaker’s business strategy.
Every possible innovation will come under the microscope, ranging
from ways to expand and improve the quality and performance of the
company’s steel products and related service to facilitating new
products to be tested on an industrial scale, such as can making,
automotive solutions, parts for lifting and excavating equipment
and for various construction applications.
“Using CA Technologies Project and Portfolio management solution
will help us implement a structured process to our innovation,
product design and development process,” said Kieft. “CA Clarity
PPM will give us the right documents and data to aid the decision
making process as well as a structured process to help reduce risk
and keep the business focused on doing the right things well. We
expect this to help to innovate with customers, get us to market
faster and help control costs.”
CA Clarity PPM will provide Tata Steel with a single, unified
“decision engine” which will capture and hold information about the
portfolio of steel products and development projects, and the
people and resources that support the innovation activities. This
centralised decision engine will enable the company to prioritise
the right opportunities, collaborate on developing the right
products, and track and optimise the innovation portfolio at every
stage. In the renewable energy market, for example, Tata Steel will
be uniquely positioned to capture, prioritise and accelerate steel
innovations used in the manufacture of wind farms.
”To meet increasing business demands from customers,
organizations are using CA Technologies Business Service Innovation
approach to help their CIOs, IT and business executives shift from
simply maintaining their current portfolios to accelerating the
delivery of new, transformative business services,” said Lokesh
Jindal, senior vice president, Service and Portfolio Management, CA
Technologies. “By making better portfolio decisions, more closely
aligning investments and enhancing collaborative decision-making,
Tata Steel will be able to drive business growth by reducing
innovation cycle times and keeping a rigorous focus on the
customer.”
