挑战
Lafarge’s customers build every kind of structure, from houses to commercial office buildings, around the world. Key to providing excellent service is Lafarge’s ability to provide building solutions using cement, and other materials, to a new construction site, in a timely way. That means integration and processes with local suppliers and contractors must be set up fast. Operating in 64 countries, Lafarge deals with a world of different suppliers and contractors with trading practices that vary by country. Setting up business at a new construction site used to take weeks with a traditional integration approach.
解决方案
Lafarge uses webMethods to integrate internal and external IT systems. Adopting the industry-leading integration platform has helped Lafarge standardize interfaces, reducing the time it takes to on-board a new site or supplier. After building an interface once, communication standards and document formats are ready to be re-used at any time. Lafarge uses webMethods as a full enterprise application integration suite, crossing all facets of its business: application to application, B2B as well as business to consumer. By using a standardized approach for integration, Lafarge succeeded in that goal. Standardizing processes and interfaces has created enormous efficiencies due to the global adoption and re-use of those assets.
