International. Emerson announced that it has established a dedicated organization focused on digital transformation technologies and programs.
The new Digital Transformation business, announced at the annual Emerson Global Users Exchange, brings together critical resources to help manufacturers develop and implement pragmatic digital transformation strategies that deliver industry-leading performance or Top Quartile.
The more than $650 million business combines existing expertise in consulting, project execution, smart sensor technologies, data management and analytics, all part of Emerson's Plantweb digital ecosystem. The organization will help customers not only set a clear vision for digital transformation, but also execute with confidence and get measurable results at every step of their journey.
"In a space flooded with confusing promises, Emerson helps customers define and execute a practical and successful path to digital transformation," said Lal Karsanbhai, executive president of Emerson's automation solutions business. "With our new Digital Transformation business, we are strategically focused on guiding clients to the right strategy, helping them drive better organizational alignment and implementing programs that accelerate better business performance."
"The industry is at a critical point in the digital transformation journey," said Stuart Harris, group president for Emerson's new Digital Transformation business. "Many companies have a vision but struggle to implement practical solutions that deliver results and therefore become frustrated. Other companies are solving specific problems, but they're not getting value at scale across the enterprise. Emerson has the technology to provide practical solutions and the expertise to define best practices and roadmap to help achieve broad operational impact."
Emerson's new Digital Transformation business brings together existing and new resources, including:
- Operational certainty consulting: strategies and implementation of the roadmap at the level of facilities and companies to improve the metrics of reliability, safety, production and energy utilization
- Operational Analytics: The industry's most comprehensive portfolio of predictive diagnostics and advanced analytics, providing insights into the health and performance of operating assets.
- Industry Solutions: Deep, industry-specific expertise in solutions to drive key performance indicators
- Widespread detection – the industry's largest portfolio of smart, easy-to-deploy connected devices, including wireless instruments
- Project Management: Best Practices, Tools, and Resources to Implement a Digital Transformation Project with Confidence
- "Customers are looking for a partner for their digital transformation programs, and this move further positions Emerson to be that credible partner," Harris said.
