in compliance with Transitional Service Agreement
Tight timelines resulted in critical path change and tasks were run in parallel on a high-risk time-
crunched plan
Codified knowledge was missing and hence knowledge transfer was difficult
Working across time zones – Japan time for TG1 integration, Europe time for interaction with
business users and IBM, US time for interaction with business users and ZF TRW

Solution with end-to-end delivery from strategy
planning to ongoing support and hosting
