Building a Technology Roadmap with Titan Cement

CLIENT CASE STUDY

TITAN CEMENT SOUGHT TO BUILD A BETTER INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION FOR ITS BUSINESS OPERATIONS AS AN ENABLER FOR BUSINESS GROWTH.

However, the company’s existing IT capabilities had limitations, including a lack of centralized decision-making, a fragmented environment and no single source of the truth. Titan Cement collaborated with us based on our extensive IT strategy experience, both globally and locally in Greece—home to the company’s headquarters.

HOW WE HELPED

TITAN CEMENT AND ACCENTURE DEVELOPED A MASTER PLAN FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IMPORTANT BUSINESS APPLICATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.

This action plan was geared toward providing Titan Cement with more efficient business operations, faster decision-making and a more streamlined flow of information. The overall project was implemented in three main phases: assessing the current IT state, defining a new IT strategy and developing an implementation roadmap.

To help manage the project successfully, we leveraged our IT strategy, SAP and infrastructure expertise, as well as key Accenture assets and accelerators, including our IT operating model asset.
