Case Study: a European manufacturer saves nearly $19 million with IBM TRIRIGA

Saving nearly USD19 million through improved workplace management

The customer, a european manufacturer, faced the challenge of balancing growth pressures with aggressive cost reduction targets. Their workplace management was inefficient, consisting of decentralized, siloed regional operations with 65 different systems and no standardization. To address this, they partnered with IBM to implement an Integrated Workplace Management System, IBM TRIRIGA.

The IBM solution centralized the manufacturer's workplace organization and standardized its processes on the IBM TRIRIGA platform. This transformation enabled significant cost savings and operational improvements, resulting in USD 19 million in savings in a single year and a 400 percent return on investment over five years. IBM helped the manufacturer reduce its real estate portfolio by three million square feet and achieve substantial savings in energy consumption and churn costs.
