"To succeed in the 1990s we must provide integrated solutions to customers'
critical business needs," explains Bill Ferry, vice president, U.S. Enterprise
Integrated Services. "This requires that we improve our ability to use our
products, technology, applications, and service capabilities to deliver
integrated solutions to our customers' mission-critical applications needs.
In support of these goals we have developed a plan to establish Digital
Competency Centers (DCCs) that will be responsible for developing our
mission-critical applications plans and for supporting the selling and
delivery of these integrated solutions to our customers."
The DCCs will be directly connected to the Engineering and Product Marketing
organizations. They will be responsible for leveraging our products, tech-
nologies, applications, and services in a targeted set of industries and
accounts.
The DCCs are a result of a team effort involving Product Marketing,
Sales/Marketing, product business units and Enterprise Integration Services.
They will be linked internationally and will support implementation of
worldwide account strategies and global systems integration capabilities.
The following managers are responsible for implementing the first three DCCs:
o Bob Burke, Enterprise Integration Services vice president, is
responsible for implementing the Discrete Manufacturing and
Engineering Competency Center. In this role, he reports to
Bill Ferry and Don McInnis, vice president, Engineering
Systems Group.
o Bob Russell, Enterprise Integration Services vice president,
is responsible for implementing the Finance/Services
Competency Center. In this role, he reports to Bill Ferry and
Bill Steul, vice president, Corporate Systems Group.
o Al Pink, Enterprise Integration Services vice president, is
responsible for implementing the Process Manufacturing
Competency Center. In this role, Al will report to Bill Ferry
and Dave Copeland, vice president, Computer Integrated
Manufacturing and Product Development Group.
In addition to the above responsibilities, these managers will continue to be
members of their current management teams.
Plans are also being developed for DCCs for Telecommunications, Federal
Government and cross-industry applications, such as Office, Electronic
Publishing and Accounting.
