Case Study: Leading Multinational Luxury Fashion Group achieves $100M IT savings and unified multi-brand IT with Software AG's Alfabet

Leading Multinational Luxury Fashion Group - Customer Case Study

This multinational luxury fashion group, built from a small leather workshop into a global, multi‑brand powerhouse through major acquisitions, faced rapid expansion, intense competition and rising cost pressures. Its fragmented, manual IT and EA processes (Access, Visio, biannual updates) left leadership without the real‑time portfolio visibility needed for fast M&A decisions, brand integration and cost‑effective road‑mapping.

The company implemented Alfabet for enterprise architecture and IT portfolio management, supported by Software AG Global Consulting, on a cloud platform to centralize planning and collaboration. The result was faster, scalable rollouts and strategic IT–business alignment, simplified architecture and multi‑brand enablement, a planned $100M in IT savings, and the operational transparency to meet Wall Street and M&A expectations while accelerating ambitious transformation programs.
