Case Study: FLSmidth improves collaboration and data quality with Ardoq

FLSmidth improves collaboration across 60+ countries with Ardoq

FLSmidth, a global leader in sustainable solutions for the mining and cement industries, faced significant challenges with its previous enterprise architecture tool, LeanIX. The platform had a high barrier to entry for business users, leading to low engagement and placing a constant data extraction burden on their small EA team. This hindered their ability to guide the company through a major business transformation and carve-out of its cement division. They needed a more collaborative and cost-effective solution to democratize data and provide a unified view of their complex IT landscape.

By implementing Ardoq, FLSmidth gained a user-friendly platform that enabled broader organizational engagement and efficient data crowdsourcing through surveys. The solution served as a single source of truth, breaking down silos and improving alignment, particularly with the cybersecurity team. The results included improved data quality from wider contribution, reduced operational burden on the EA team freeing them for strategic work, and an enhanced cybersecurity overview. Ardoq’s flexibility and solutions like Application Lifecycle Management accelerated their time to value.
