With enterprises rushing towards rapid cloud adoption, they need to take into account the changes involved in IT transformation projects. Process harmonization across lines of business or geographies is time and resource intensive and often met with resistance to change. Coexistence with legacy ERPs poses increasing challenges in terms of desired scalability and flexibility. At the same time, business gaps in SaaS platforms hinder the adoption of the cloud across functions.
Changes in the business environment as well as the powerful convergence of multiple technologies have led to massive shifts in the manufacturing industry. We are well into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and enterprises need digital transformation to face the competitive challenges created by Industry 4.0. Manufacturers need to acquire new-age business capabilities along with a solid technological platform that can scale easily as needed.
To help organizations rise to these challenges, Infosys has introduced a packaged industry solution leveraging the Oracle SaaS platform along with Infosys solutions, tools, and platforms. As part of our Infosys Cobalt offerings, this solution can enable companies to quickly acquire the capabilities they need to compete in an Industry 4.0-dominated manufacturing environment. A combination of Oracle SaaS, augmented by Infosys IP-based solutions, AI/ML-based analytics solutions, Infosys Live Enterprise Suite, and RPA solutions, Infosys Discrete Manufacturing Solution is aimed at making cloud transformations focused, quick, and predictable for enterprises.
