Driving Transformation and Empowering Yinson’s IT Strategy

Yinson's urgent priorities included the need to develop a business-led IT strategic roadmap that aligned with their business goals, along with enhancing their cybersecurity capabilities to address enterprise risks and IT audit findings.

With Yinson Group's exponential growth over the last five years into new locations and business units, the need for a groupwide strategic IT direction became a priority for the company, starting with the hiring of a new group CIO. To support the need for a quick assessment of the state of IT at the company and the development of a strategy to move it forward in line with the growing needs of the business, Yinson was able to leverage the full range of Gartner CIO tools and resources to complement the in-house Yinson IT resources from around its global offices, including:

• IT Score Assessment for comprehensive evaluation 
• Research reports, toolkits and thought leadership for best practices 
• Expert conversations and document reviews for tailored guidance 
• Webinars and peer community for knowledge sharing 
• Industry trends and benchmarks for informed decision making 

The Gartner account director and client success partner provided personalized support throughout the journey.

• Streamlined functions and processes

Yinson’s Group CIO was able to streamline the strategy, enterprise architecture and operating model while leveraging best practices around cybersecurity, infrastructure, data and analytics and AI. IT governance and strategic cost optimization initiatives were also initiated, targeting effectiveness and efficiency when fully implemented.

• Considerable time savings and cost avoidance

With Gartner help as a one-stop knowledge repository, expert and peer network, Yinson Group IT was able to develop its IT Strategy and Strategic Roadmap in-house, saving significant time and costs in sourcing for multiple vendors or consultants.  

• Gained valuable insights and recommendations from Gartner research and experts

Gartner provided “just-in-time” thought leadership to support a strategic planning approach that was very well received by both business and IT leaders across the organization.
