Industries
Manufacturing & industrials
Industrial clients live with two clocks: a software cycle measured in weeks and an asset cycle measured in decades. A modernization plan that ignores the second one is not a plan. We design for mixed estates, intermittent connectivity and the operational reality that a line stoppage costs more than the entire programme.
What clients are wrestling with
01OT and IT data that never meet
Machine data sits in historians, business context sits in ERP, and reconciling them is a manual monthly exercise.
02Pilots that never leave one plant
A model that works in the pilot facility fails in the next one because the sensor estate, the process and the operators differ.
03Planning that cannot react
Supply variability is absorbed by inventory because the planning cycle is too slow to absorb it any other way.
Published research on this
Published research on how digital programmes actually perform across the sectors we work in. These are external figures from named sources, not our own claims — each one links to the original publication.
An analysis of 1,471 IT projects found an average cost overrun of 27%. But one in six ran 200% over on cost and almost 70% over on schedule. The risk is not the average; it is the tail.
The same report recorded the first increase in wasted cloud spend in five years, which Flexera links to the cost complexity introduced by AI workloads and new managed services.
The 85% target decomposes as 90% availability × 95% performance × 99.9% quality. The gap between that and a typical plant is mostly invisible until the measurement itself is trustworthy.
DORA reports a direct correlation between the quality of that platform and an organisation's ability to get value from AI — adoption alone is not the differentiator.
