Objective:

The objective of this initiative was to develop and implement an effective strategy to manage ERP Systems, IT infrastructure, handle customer care, and build brands for a conglomerate customer. With six different business units working under the umbrella of the customer’s brand, the goal of this project is to streamline organisation, security and efficiency for all website, IT, and software needs of the business units working under the client’s brand.

Challenges:

Achieving the business objective successfully involved overcoming various Software and IT Infrastructure issues. These included scattered code in different servers, permission level access, as well as a lack in proper documentation. The websites of the six business units were frequently crashing and going down which was negatively affecting the reputation of the brand name.

The client was looking for Trusted IT Partner to help them better define the IT process. To successfully meet the needs of the client, MCS must organise the client company’s digital Kpi’s and build the role level access to the server and software. Addressing these issues would help the client to mitigate risk for all the websites of the six business units that fall under the umbrella brand of the client.
