A number of elements from this transition:

• Very rigid planning: local management at the European locations in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK had to be converted to the new service provider within two months.
• The following phase, Asia, had different local service providers at the production facilities in China, Malaysia and the Philippines. In order to optimise the involvement and communication, our transition manager left for Malaysia for a few months, making sure matters in Asia were kept on track.
• Differences in language, time zone and culture played an important role in this transition. Expectations regarding the new service provider employees’ seniority and quality also presented some challenges. You can read more about it in this blog.

The transition was executed successfully under the management of Transition Experts, in collaboration with Nexperia employees and both the leaving and receiving IT providers.

Nexperia is a semiconductor manufacturer which originated in 2017 after splitting from NXP. Nexperia’s main office is located in Nijmegen. There are also branches in Budapest and Taipei, five large production facilities in Europe and Asia and various sales sites distributed across the world.

The transition of the IT management consisted of:

• Moving the data centre locations to Sappemeer and the head office of Yokogawa Europe in Amersfoort.
• Moving the GLT-PLUS branch workplace in Sappemeer to a NAM branch in Sappemeer.
• Transfer of knowledge and responsibility for the management of the IT environment from the existing organisation to Yokogawa Europe. This also included the dismantling of the old IT organisation.
• Implementation of the adjustments and expansions in the Yokogawa ICT organisation, in order to enable the management of the GLT-PLUS environment. This concerned changes in staff, processes and technology.

The transition took place under the management of Transition Experts and was executed in collaboration with Yokogawa IT and GLT-PLUS IT employees.

GLT-PLUS is now able to make use of the knowledge, technically progressive IT facilities and innovation power of Yokogawa Europe at lower costs, as a result of this successful transition.
