Advertisment

The key business need for Bharti Airtel was to be able to provide customers a consistent view of One Airtel, regardless of their geographical location in the country, maintain quality of service delivery as a benchmark, and reduce operating costs. The back-end IT infrastructure components were being monitored using adhoc scripts which were manual and did not have the end to end visibility on the availability of business applications. Airtel along with IBM conceptualized the Service Management framework using the Tivoli suite, which helped them in addressing the needs of the business, and bridging the existing technology gaps. The monitoring of the infrastructure was deployed using ITM, ITCAM, ITNM. Alarms and Threshold were defined at application level and used for proactive monitoring. This has helped in bringing enormous amount of efficiency within operations. A productivity enhancement of 15% was achieved.

A configurable rules, responsibility and authority based approval process was needed. This project involved an innovative cloud compliant solution with a flexible delivery. The application manages the entire Artwork lifecycle from product initiation by the marketing team to approval from various teams such as formulation, production, quality, regulatory, etc. to the process of printing and archiving approved artworks. Some of its features include single sign on capability, integrated document management, controlled workflows, real-time access to information, and collaborative portal accessibility anywhere and anytime.

ICICI's Collections Activities Processing System

Owing to several hurdles such as diverse customer segments, wide spread geographies and increasing delinquencies, collection teams in multiple locations across India were using different philosophies and varied collection strategy for managing the delinquent pool. A central practice was to be put in place to dispel the information from a systematic and controlled environment. The Debt Service Management Group services customers that have an outstanding on loans and credit cards. Debt service was predominantly driven by conventional methods of allocation and collections. The debtors allocation process was completely manual and labor intensive. It was also largely on client server based framework where the information would be contained at local branches and a consolidated experience was not available. The bank employed a Java-based system to implement Collections Activities Processing System (CAPS). The data of every single customer in the system was updated in real time while the previously manual processed list of re-possessed articles was centralized and documented electronically.

Shree Cement's Operator Independent Truck Dispatch System

Shree Cement carries out limestone mining and uses heavy moving machinery to carry limestone from mines to crusher. Shree cement was incapable to optimize the utilization of heavy machinery, which was dogged by lack of automated fuel management and lack of automatic collection, storage and analysis of data. Shree Cement implemented a mining command and control room along with GPS based truck dispatch system to carry out dynamic allocation of dumpers to excavators in real time thus reducing time lost in waiting at excavators. The entire mining time can now be monitored at central control room, where automatic alerts are installed. OITDS has benefited Shree Cements with increase in production of lime stone by using less number of dumpers / excavators. It has minimized the wastage of equipment, unnecessary traveling between mines and crusher by identifying the ideal path, thus saving fuel. Taking full usage from the existing machines saved the company from buying a new dumper, which would have cost around 3 crores.
