CNH Industrial: Next-generation application management

Innovation-led application management services enable CNH Industrial to drive efficiencies and improve digital and analytics capabilities.

Challenge

Companies are undergoing radical changes driven by digitalization, automation, electrification and industrial consumerism. Underpinning this revolution are applications with the power to make businesses more efficient, effective and innovative. The problem is that the application landscape inside many companies has grown too complex. It consumes too large a share of IT resources and restricts digital growth.

How can companies transform their application management services to deliver innovation and unleash value? Staying ahead with old models of application management is no longer possible. CNH Industrial decided to modernize and streamline application management services provided to their SAP landscape globally. Accenture is helping the company create a more strategic service over the next five years, with greater automation, innovation and ability to continuously improve.

Strategy and solution

As part of the application maintenance services transformation, we are introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence, enhanced automation, cognitive tools and user support capabilities like chatbots—some of which will be delivered via Accenture myWizard.

These integrated tools enable an effective and efficient service; in addition, they help improve CNH Industrial’s business more broadly by granting greater visibility into operational challenges. As a result, everything runs more efficiently, freeing up resources for strategic digital initiatives. The application support forms an integral part of CNH Industrial’s day-to-day operations, with over 50,000 users, including dealers, around the world.

Proactive service

The application management services collect, centralize and analyze data from across the business to proactively monitor the SAP solution landscape. They encompass:

Ticket resolution

RPA, AI and user support like chatbots help solve user queries with minimal manual effort.

Monitoring and preventive maintenance

MyWizard analyzes, tickets and patterns to find problems and offer analysis. Reporting and dashboards reveal data trends to take preventive action.

Alerts

Events proactively managed and monitored, flagging issues for resolution. An "Operations Control Room" has specialists on point to respond to alerts.

Business service monitoring

When IT incidents accumulate, we assess their impact on business services and service level agreements to minimize business disruption.

Continuous improvement activities

Identify areas for improvement by looking at accumulated historical data, optimizing the overall operational setup in line with business needs.
