The Challenge
The customer, a global multilateral financial advisory firm, was facing a multitude of challenges. They were looking to secure business growth, protect margins, and align operations across countries to rapidly changing market needs. Business agility was critical to increase operational efficiency. However, the performance of their existing hardware and applications, along with a clunky collaboration environment, were major hindrances to employee productivity and end-user experience. The business aimed at reducing the cost of managing incidents, eventually reducing the number of incidents, and minimizing false alarms. Additionally, the customer was operating with geographically distributed localized service desks that were using non-standard processes. This was leading to redundancies, operational inefficiencies, and sub-optimal IT service delivery.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
