Tata’s INCAT takes IT transitioning role for Jaguar Land Rover
1 min read
Jaguar Land Rover has appointed IT services firm INCAT as its Ford—Tata application transition and managed services provider for its engineering management systems until 2013.
INCAT’s first responsibility is to help transition more than 1,000 IT applications from Ford into the new Jaguar Land Rover environment.
INCAT expects about 100 of its project managers, functional analysts and technical experts to work on the project, based at the Land Rover Solihull site, and says it should complete the work in stages over 18 months.
As for ongoing support of Jaguar Land Rover’s engineering PLM (product lifecycle management) applications, INCAT is providing a team of some 250 staff, located both in Coventry and offshore at INCAT’s Delivery Centre in Pune, India.
“This is a great outcome for both INCAT and Jaguar Land Rover,” says Alan Weeks, Jaguar Land Rover IT Transition Manager. “INCAT offers the most robust and complete set of service provisions to meet our needs with the least risk.
“Recognising that INCAT is also owned by Tata, we have been particularly sensitive to the need to treat them as we would any other vendor. No advantageous insight has been available to the INCAT team, who worked with us in a very professional manner throughout the research phase.”
