Case Study: Affinia Group achieves business-driven IT transformation with Capgemini

Affinia Creates Business-Driven IT Transformation Program

Affinia Group Inc., a global automotive aftermarket supplier, faced the challenge of transforming its IT capabilities from merely adequate into a competitive advantage to support its 2010 business vision of becoming faster, smarter, and leaner. The company needed a new IT roadmap that was fully aligned with its strategic goals of global growth and a customer-centric approach. To address this, Affinia partnered with vendor Capgemini to create a business-driven IT transformation program.

Capgemini implemented a solution using its Kickstart Business/IT Alignment Framework and Accelerated Solutions Environment (ASE) to rapidly develop a comprehensive transformation roadmap. This involved collaborative sessions to align business and IT priorities, leading to a detailed plan for modernization. The results for Affinia included achieving leading-edge global connectivity, improved internal transparency and integration, standardized processes, consolidated information for better decision-making, and greater employee satisfaction, all of which helped solidify its market competitiveness.
