General Motors (GM) is reversing its IT strategy: Recently, Randy Mott, CIO of General Motors, released plans to handle IT services inhouse, aiming to make the group more efficient and more productive. Mott’s philosophy is that the automaker needs more creative, business changing ideas from IT – and consequently, IT teams need to deliver those innovative projects faster. No delays.
In our experience, large companies achieve this consolidation by replacing the many separate tools, each polished for one problem, but time-consuming to integrate with the many tools in a single internally coherent toolbox approach. codeBeamer fits this approach perfectly, as we provide solution for many problems, under just one umbrella.
That’s why the IT-insourcing strategy – supported by codeBeamer – of one of our financial customers was decorated with the CIO of the Year Award for their CIO, Matthias Schulz. Under his aegis a similar IT-inscourcing strategy to consolidate knowledge management inhouse was pursued as is now in pipeline at GM.
Even in the “cloud era”, large corporations prefer behind-the-firewall installations, fully controlled by their internal IT. codeBeamer is not available as SaaS and is not running in the cloud (the reality is that JavaForge is neither of those) – we are focusing on customers that run codeBeamer on their own servers.
codeBeamer’s product portfolio comprises Requirements Management, Application Lifecycle Management and Agile Development, by integrating Git, Mercurial and Subversion as version control systems.
A translation of the interview with Matthias Schulz, published by the German IT magazine „Computerwoche“, can be obtained in our former blog entry CIO of the Year 2009.
Some further info on GM: The withdraw from former outsourcing policy shall be executed within the next three years and result in the opening of three new software development centers within the US, hiring thousands of software developers, as well as in consolidation of data center, applications and data warehouse, according to Informationweek.
