Case Study: Bayer achieves a more strategic, unified IT portfolio with Troux

Creating a Global Community Bayer IT unites multiple business segments using Troux

Bayer, a global Fortune 150 enterprise with 111,000 employees and highly diversified business units, needed a way to manage the complexity of its IT landscape across HealthCare, CropScience, and MaterialScience. The company struggled with inconsistent definitions, limited visibility into applications and assets, and difficulty aligning enterprise architecture efforts with each business area’s goals. Bayer used Troux to support its enterprise architecture and application portfolio management efforts.

Troux helped Bayer create a standardized view of its technology, application, and business architecture portfolios, replacing scattered spreadsheets and presentations with a central source of information and out-of-the-box reports. This enabled faster decision-making, better investment planning, lower complexity, and reduced security/compliance risk. As a result, Bayer became more strategy-driven, improved cross-business collaboration, and gained a clearer foundation for future portfolio optimization with Troux.
