In the aftermath of the 2008-09 global recession and with the prospect of low single-digit growth in most markets for the foreseeable future, the tenors of the heavy machinery industry – the likes of GE and Caterpillar – face a new and tall order: transforming from traditional product engineering champions into service and solutions providers. In other words, the future of heavy machinery OEMs depends on their ability to create and deliver additional value for their big-ticket products to their customers. Namely, the race is on to exploit Big Data management and IoT (Internet of Things) to provide innovative services that drive higher levels of productivity for the machines and equipment these OEMs sell, resulting in higher returns on investment for their customers. 

From maintenance & repair cost reduction and greater fuel efficiency enabled by information technology smart applications to fleet optimization and capital investment solutions, data management-driven servicing of heavy machinery is nothing short of revolutionizing. Technology is reshaping the business landscape. Organizations and processes must adapt, which requires "quantum leap" changes in mindsets and behaviors. We help our clients accelerate through the transformation process.
