Case study \u00b7 Automotive<\/p>\r\n\r\n

IT in sync with production<\/h1>\r\n

How Exact Systems gained visibility into its costs and cut them without compromising quality. Fast-growing companies often build up their IT environment gradually\u2014project by project, supplier by supplier. A few years later, management finds that IT costs are growing faster than the business itself, but nobody knows exactly why.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

About the client<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A client whose IT must be as precise as the processes it inspects<\/h2>\r\n

Exact Systems is an international company in the automotive industry that provides quality control, inspection, and production optimization services. It works with dozens of leading automotive manufacturers.<\/p>\r\n

For a company like this, one simple rule applies: its own IT has to run as precisely as the processes it inspects for its customers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Challenge<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What was holding the company back<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

No overview of IT<\/p>\r\n

Over the years, licenses, contracts, and suppliers had piled up without any central record of the services in use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Rising IT costs<\/p>\r\n

Spending was rising faster than the business, but it was not clear where exactly value was being lost or what the company was paying for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Fragmented support<\/p>\r\n

Support was split between several external suppliers and internal resources, which slowed down the response to incidents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Inconsistent protection<\/p>\r\n

Endpoint protection, backup, and identity management needed to be unified across all branches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”xvs-section xvs-section–cs xvs-jak-pracujeme xvs-cs-reseni”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

Solution<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From audit to long-term support<\/h2>\r\n

We split the partnership into four steps. Each one builds on the results of the one before.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

01<\/p>\r\n

IT audit from a business perspective<\/p>\r\n

We inventoried all IT services, contracts, and licenses. The result was a clear map of what everything is for and how much it costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

02<\/p>\r\n

Supplier consolidation<\/p>\r\n

We took over the management of hardware, endpoints, email, backup, and antivirus. For the remaining services, we took on the role of coordinator.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

03<\/p>\r\n

License optimization<\/p>\r\n

We canceled unused Microsoft 365 licenses and duplicate security products and renegotiated or rebid overpriced service contracts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

04<\/p>\r\n

Long-term support<\/p>\r\n

Round-the-clock IT support, device management, endpoint protection, and regular audits\u2014with a single point of accountability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”pentest-cta xvs-cs-cta”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

Results<\/p>\r\n\r\n

IT costs under control<\/h2>\r\n

Thanks to the audit, supplier consolidation, and license optimization, Exact Systems now manages its IT costs deliberately\u2014with a clear view of what it pays for and why. IT is no longer a black box of costs; it has become a service with measurable value.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

What the partnership delivered<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Around 30% lower costs<\/p>\r\n

IT operating costs went down without any loss in service quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

One supplier<\/p>\r\n

Instead of juggling a fragmented group of external partners, the company now has a single point of accountability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Faster incident response<\/p>\r\n

Average incident response time has decreased.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
