Case Study: Tata Steel Nederland strengthens sustainable IT investment planning with Bizzdesign Horizzon

Tata Steel Nederland boosts strategic IT planning with Bizzdesign for a 2-decade green transformation

Tata Steel Nederland (TSN) faced the dual challenge of making significant IT investments to achieve CO2-neutral steel production while managing a complex legacy IT landscape. Their architecture team needed to balance these strategic technology upgrades against other priorities, like manufacturing asset maintenance, all within a costly and difficult-to-change environment of tightly coupled mainframe applications. To address this, they partnered with vendor Bizzdesign, leveraging their enterprise architecture tool, Bizzdesign Horizzon, for strategic investment planning.

The solution involved using Bizzdesign Horizzon to model the architecture and implement a three-step process: analyzing the current IT landscape, applying Application Portfolio Management to categorize applications, and conducting Capability-based Planning to link technology to business needs. The results included a more cost-effective IT landscape aligned with long-term sustainability goals, improved visibility and planning through current and future state mapping, and enhanced collaboration via consistent data visualization. Bizzdesign enabled TSN to make more informed IT investment decisions, ensuring every euro spent maximized value for their green transition.
