Michelin needed to transform its IT applications performance. It was costly to have and maintain a mixed bag of applications in different locations.
New, standardized applications across the company would:
- drive down costs
- make processes work better
- help Michelin grow and compete.
Michelin is well-known for exploring new, better ways to do things. This task was no exception. The idea of a fresh sourcing model was born. Named co-management, it rejected the classic buyer-supplier pattern. Instead, partners would work shoulder to shoulder with Michelin. Partners would commit to the same goals Michelin had set for itself. They would have to bring the right skills and delivery model. Logica was a natural fit. Like Michelin, commitment, openness and innovation were at the heart of Logica’s businesses and processes.
