In doing so, the company had to take into account the diverse needs of its various business units and subsidiaries.
Specific task
The goal of the project was to provide operational support in coordinating and identifying the needs of the various business units regarding the future IT infrastructure. In collaboration with the client, the specific requirements for sustainability metrics were defined, and the necessary operational capabilities of the IT system were identified.
