Honeywell’s IT Scenario
• Legacy Systems – Systems “purchased” with the merged companies
– Some obsolete – no longer supported by IT
– ERP Systems – SAP, Oracle, BPCS, AMS, LOTS more over 20 systems
– Literally hundreds of “names” and “titles”
• Estimated IT Development and Maintenance Costs - $ 330 Million per year!
So What Can Honeywell Do?
• Do nothing – continue to live with it!
• Ask each unit to convert by themselves – and choose whatever system they want
• Set up a lottery – let each business develop their own strategy and then decide what the best approach is…
• LET’S MANAGE the environment and set up a new system for business units and Corporate

IBM has conducted extensive market research which indicates that ERP customers are looking to out task their ERP applications support.
25% 14% 21% 9% 13% 7% 8% 3% 56% 54% 47% 39% 36% 28% 27% 13% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60%
70% Primary Reasons for Outsourcing
Access to leading edge ERP tools/ methods Access to Scarce Resources Capacity Flexibility Improved Service Levels Lower Cost relative to current/ expected internal spending Predictability of Cost Access to leading edge skills/ capabilities for HW/infrastructure Outsourcing Access to leading edge skills/ capabilities for mgmt. of apps. integrated with ERP app. = Somewhat Important = Extremely Important
Sample Size = 190 customers
Let’s Make a DEAL!!!
• IBM proposed an “offer that Honeywell could not refuse!”
– Sit down right now and write us a check for $ 300 Million and we will take over your Maintenance work. That will save you $30 Million right away
and allow you to do SAP unencumbered.
– OR write us a check for $ 330 Million and we will take over your Maintenance Business and also take you to SAP throughout Honeywell for free!
– We will figure out how many years the contract as to be for us to recover our investment.
What is Necessary to Pull off this
Business and Contract?
• What is IBM’s Application Management Service?
• What Governance Rules and Environment must IBM set up with Honeywell?
• How does Outsourcing Play into this?
• How does anyone do something like this?
• PROJECT MANAGEMENT enters in!!!! HEY!
THAT’S US! DON’T Forget! Explored at end – Slide 18
So REALLY What IS AMS??
• Applications Management Services is:
Portfolio Analysis and Management
Identify Applications for Consolidation – Upgrade
Identify Applications for Remote and On-line -Grow by Web Enablement (B2B, B2C)
Applications for Decommissioning – Sunset Project Plan Definition into Business Case
Legacy Transformation
Identify Legacy Applications for Transformation Project Plan Definition into Business Case
Implementing IBM AMS Services
• Management of Legacy Systems
– Day one – nothing has changed
– Learn the applications – Little documentation
– Ship what we can Off shore – Cost and retirement
• Development of a Total Development
– Application Portfolio Management
• New Systems in SAP that have new features
– Legacy Transformation
• Systems that replace Legacy Services outright • Other services needed to add
HONEYWELL – IBM
Governance Model
IBM OUTSOURCING/OFFSHORING
• IBM had used India- Bangalore to support its own SAP, Siebel and Maintenance applications (SAP alone - the largest in the world!)
• IBM had a large communications resources
and capacity for Honeywell global applications • IBM had re-engineered their own applications
a few years before
• IBM was supporting all of Honeywell’s hardware and networking infrastructure
OK-
ISN’T IT TIME FOR PM??
YES!! And so WHAT?
1. Integration and Planning!
2. Scope – You’d better believe it!
3. Time, Cost, Procurement Management 4. Human Resources and Communications
Thousands of employees, languages, time zones, etc. etc. etc.
5. Project Quality – Determined by whom? 6. Project RISK? RISK? RISK!!!!
We Won – RIGHT?
WRONG! NO WAY!!!!! WHY?
• The Human Factor – IBM Outsourcing • The Human Factor – Real CIOs do REAL
projects!
• The Mystery Factor – Too good to Believe! • If it is that easy we can do it ourselves!
The Desire for Adventure@
• CIOs wanted the opportunity to do this! They would NEVER have the chance to do anything like this again!
• The project was RISKY!!
• Governance would be a BIG challenge • ERPs change the whole scenario
• Too many businesses – DIFFERENT BUSINESSES
SO??
• Honeywell developed a separate IT Section to plan and implement the project
• They went out to bid
• The selected one Big 6 Consultancy
• The CIO left – now CIO of a large California Company
• Two years later, Honeywell re-organized • And now???
Outsourcing in General
• History• Present
• Potential Scenarios
Offshoring –
Observations
• If you plan to outsource just to save money,
You will NEVER get there!
• Do not bet on any one solution or location.
You MUST Explore them all!
• Do not think these will stop –
Either Global Sourcing growth or competition • Core Competencies – NO!
Offshoring – Potential Issues
• Cultural Issues • Language • Communications • Infrastructure Issues • Time Differences• Shared knowledge – transition • Disengagement Peril
Managing into the IT Future!
• Determine Business Strategy • Align IT Strategy
• Determine Critical Success Factors to succeed • Business Management 101 –
– Plan – What?
– Organize – How?
– Staff – Where do I get my best resources – Control ruthlessly and ruthlessly Follow up!
Offshoring – Where- You Name IT!
• India • Mexico • Canada • Brazil • Ireland • China • Belarus • Singapore • Poland • Romania • Australia • Shanghai • AfricaSo what does this all mean?
• The Future
– Most companies will not do good planning- they usually don’t!
– The “stars” will do a GREAT job at planning strategically
– It all comes down to GOOD MANAGEMENT!
– If you think that education is costly, consider the cost of incompetence!
Offshoring – China and India
• The Rise
of the
“New Super Country”
China• Brief History of India and China • Why China First?
• Did India Catch Up?
• The “New-er” Super Employers! • The Dynamic Changes Today
China vs. India
• India should have been first!– Training in Technology – Language
– Elite “Class”
• China Rushes in “Management by Trial and Error” – Don’t laugh – It Works!
China
• Mao and “The Cultural Revolution” • Corruption in the Provinces –
Leads to Starvation
• The Workers “Revolt by Silence”
• The “Management” overlooks the trespass • China transforms “from the bottom up!”
• Deng learns “Roadmap by genius!”
• USSR (Old Russia) was a scary Example to Deng. He did not want a repeat!
India
• Prime Minister Vajpayee 2003 visit – ten years after his last visit
• Cannot believe the Changes!
• Vows to follow
• Returns to India – faces the challenges
– Government Bureaucracy – Invigorate the Higher Caste – Their strength – Technology
Offshoring – Who??
• Manufacturing – China
• IT Offshoring – India and now MANY! – CHINA???
• At first, everybody and anybody! Then, as expected – A Shakeout!
• Tier One - Indian based companies
– Tata Consultancy, Infosys, Wipro, Satyam (No More!), IntelliGroup
• Near Tier One - IBM, Accenture, HP, SAP • Tier Two - Others
Offshoring – Some Facts
• McKinsey Quarterly – August 24, 2009
India leads the world in providing offshore services in business and technology, with revenues of $ 58 Bil in 2008, out of a global total of $ 80 Billion. McKinsey estimates this is just the beginning: the global market for offshore business and technology services
could grow to about $ 500 Billion by 2020. Yet even with this growth, the industry will still serve less than 1/3 of the potential market for these services, which McKinsey estimates at $1.65 Trillion to $1.8 Trillion in 2020.
Offshoring – Some Quotes
• “Immigration Victory,” Wall Street Journal, Op-Ed - June 29,2007
“Either the US will accept more of these workers, especially from American graduate schools, or
more companies will outsource more high-tech jobs to Ireland and India.”
