BCG really made a difference when we embarked on our technology transformation programme. The combination of strong analytics, in depth technical and business knowledge and a collaborative working style was exactly what we needed. The way BCG supported and challenged us was key to our success to date.

BCG's analytical and data driven approach combined with a clear business perspective can create a lot of value for any CIO. BCG's recommendations have been pragmatic and we have successfully implemented some of them. In particular the advice on sourcing has been valuable for us.

BCG's expertise was instrumental in building a convincing case for action and aligning all stakeholders behind our move towards an ambitious "One IT" strategy. Also, in a very engaged way, BCG helped us to implement the fundamental organizational changes fast and to deliver tangible results quickly.

BCG's annual IT benchmarking study provided a precise description of our competitive IT cost position. Based on a detailed assessment of IT cost structures and drivers in key areas, such as mainframe, server, storage, and PC/LAN, we derived corresponding levers and measures for internal optimization and the renegotiation of IT supplier contracts.

BCG helped us with the outsourcing of a major part of our application management activities. BCG supported us in this effort through RfI, RfP, contract negotiation and transition phase. The project generated significant net savings for us and addressed our particular requirements regarding staff transfer, offshoring ratio and risk sharing with the IT provider.

When I was appointed CIO my mission was to drive the Transformation of the organization in order to enable the company to reach the objectives of the 2009 Plan. We defined a plan to improve both alignement with business, service quality and performance of IT. We have been able to reduce costs by 27% and we re-invested 14% into business projects. 3 years later, the transformation is recognized as a success and the IT of Renault has been awarded CMMi level 3 and is being recognized by The Hackett Group as a Wordlclass organization. BCG helped us frame the Transformation programm and drive the execution. The cooperation between our teams has been instrumental in the success of the plan.

Our IT organization needed to change to cope with the new business challenges (more projects, international development...). I decided to launch an IT transformation to align better IT with business and reduce project time to market as well as taking advantage of industrialization. BCG helped us define the operating model of IT (structure, governance, processes, HR model, KPIs) based on their understanding of our business and their experience. This helped us accelerate the transformation and clarify key trade offs. 2 years later the IT organization was able to cope with the financial crisis, even if the adjustment has been painful. The new organization provides a flexibility that is very valuable in this new context.

We now have robust IT governance processes in place, with help from BCG, that makes IT decisions across business units through business and IT leaders.

Over the last couple of years BCG has supported us as trustful and independent IT advisor in various projects. Starting point of this successful relationship was the European IT Benchmarking in Banking study which provided transparency about our IT cost performance and IT cost structure overall and per business segment. The benchmarking results were quite valuable for us and we decided to extend this study in subsequent years to our international subsidiaries. We leveraged the specific study results with BCG to sustainably reduce cost within the IT function and jointly with the business.
