Vision

Leighton needed to realign their South East Asian and Middle East IT infrastructure to support a rapidly expanding business footprint. Disparate and dispersed infrastructure had to be consolidated into four geographic locations.  

A key challenge lay in securing and sustaining Leighton’s IT provisioning under a structured governance model capable of providing stability in challenging conditions.  

We also needed to design and implement a unified global communications system that reflected the fine balance of autonomy and synergy across the Leighton Group of companies.

Traction

Creating a strategy to consolidate Leighton’s fragmented infrastructure meant navigating complex regulatory requirements in remote locations where the requisite IT skills were scarce.  

The strategy we delivered enabled Leighton to accomplish all of the following key project goals:  

• Consolidating their global IT infrastructure into 4 data centres 
• Outsourcing support services to reliable, efficient providers 
• Unifying their global communications 
• Implementing an SAAS document control and management system

Results

This transformational project has consolidated and unified Leighton’s IT infrastructure without compromising the diverse operational needs of their constituent companies.  

It has succeeded in:  

• Increasing uptime and reliability across all networks and applications 
• Being sufficiently responsive and agile to accommodate the ad hoc demands of large projects 
• Enabling charge back to individual projects via a transparent costing model 

In the bigger picture, it has established a high performance platform to support Leighton’s future ERP rollout.
