“ THE BENEFIT OF AUTOMATION WAS VERY MUCH KEY TO OUR PROGRAMME ' S SUCCESS , ENABLING HUGE GAINS FOR OUR ORGANISATION ”
ALI KHOSRAVI HEAD OF GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS , CLARIANT
“ To solve this problem , we moved away from classical lines to internet-only lines , with which we had much more bandwidth and far fewer costs .
“ That was clearly the way for us to go forward and transform every site globally ; everything that Clariant has – in terms of production sites , sales offices and so on –
was transformed through an internet-only network ,” explains Khosravi .
Change Management Clariant began with changing their project methodology , moving away from standard models into much more agile methods , and this included agile teams .
They understood that they needed to transform their entire operating model : the way that their system and network administrators were previously applying changes within their systems wouldn ’ t work anymore , moving forward .
“ That meant that we retrained and coached our people , as well as insourced parts of the operations from the provider back to Clariant so that we could run and maintain the entire cloud hosting and automation ourselves ,” says Khosravi .
