Overview: In order to respond more quickly and cost effectively to new opportunities, Colgate-Palmolive needed to grow its service offerings without a corresponding escalation in IT infrastructure and costs. Major fast moving consumer goods enterprises such as Colgate operate in complex, dynamic markets, competing against both local and global rivals. Recognizing that innovation is the key to gaining competitive advantage, Colgate needed to leverage and invest in the latest advanced automation technologies capable of adapting to new requirements quickly while keeping costs under control. Using SAP and IBM technologies, Colgate has optimized its IT environment by adopting the IBM IT Resource Optimization approach, which aims to create a responsive IT infrastructure that is easier and less expensive to manage, upgrade and run. Through virtualization, provisioning and orchestration technologies, IT resources and workloads are optimized for more efficient usage, yet offer improved response times.
