A Cycle of Define, Perform, Review and Refine

The client is the worlds' third largest water company, and provides clean and waste water services to over 69 million customers around the world. The client had embarked on a journey to streamline their IS operations to ensure better service delivery, improved customer relationship and closer links with business. They also wanted to move to a ‘thin' layer of IS. This was a challenge considering that the client consists mostly of bespoke applications using a wide spectrum of technologies and functional areas that cover all the business functionality of a typical water utility.

Through a series of strategic initiatives over a two year period, Xicom made the client realize significant cost savings as well as remarkably improve the quality of the application estate. This was done by following a cycle of define, perform, review and refine, for each of the functions that Xicom was entrusted with. Xicom devised and implemented a strategy for cost savings by leveraging on its Global Sourcing model. The savings in the application support budget was also enabled through a system of forecasting and reviewing service requirements with partners and third party vendors.
