Hitachi has completed its acquisition of a majority stake in ABB Power Grids, creating a new business aimed at tackling the renewable and distributed energy frontiers of the power industry. Hitachi Energy is the new company formed. Hitachi Energy inherited a large portfolio of applications (more than 3’000 apps) from ABB and started an initiative to simplify this landscape.
This simplification requires a deep understanding of the business processes covered by the applications to identify overlaps, as well as a structured process to monitor the rationalization execution. The Senior Project Manager will create and drive the rationalization execution process and owns the realization of the cost savings. Additionally, he will support, where required, the application managers to drive actual application decommissioning, including data migration and archiving. Finally, the Senior Project Manager will organize and execute the governance required to ensure that all relevant stakeholders are fully supporting the StAR program.
