For many companies, the ever-increasing speed of business has put the needs of the corporation at odds with the needs of the plants. While the corporation needs to systematically move forward faster, leveraging standards and rolling out systems quickly and broadly, plants need autonomy to work freely in their unique environments and need systems that help them do their jobs. And, it’s up to IT to lead the way.

Historically, IT systems haven't helped plants solve production challenges, so plants have solved them on their own, creating unique, stand-alone applications to meet their needs. These “point”-solutions usually don't follow any corporate standard or easily integrate with other systems. Often, they increase the system support burden and costs to the corporation.

Matrix Automation can consolidate plant applications across your organization to drive standardization, while supporting unique plant requirements, and integrating the islands-of-information in your plants.

By leveraging proven solutions and supporting fewer applications, you can reduce the support burden on your IT staff, reducing overall lifecycle costs of your systems and speeding time-to-value of your solutions.
