Digital & Analytics

In partnership with clients, we identify unmet customer needs and create breakthrough products and services to fill gaps in the portfolio. In addition to world-class design skills, we can provide insights on rapid prototyping, engineering issues, market-entry strategy, and portfolio optimization.

We help A&D clients leverage digital capabilities and advanced analytics to reach new levels of operational performance. Our solutions are suitable for all products, regardless of volume or complexity.

Working with clients, we find digital solutions that improve productivity across functions, from the shop floor to the executive suite. As companies apply our proprietary analytical tools and enable greater collaboration among groups, their end-to-end processes will become more efficient and transparent. We can also help companies identify the right digital tools for tracking productivity and performance improvement.

We help industrial clients design and deliver their digital transformations by leveraging new technological capabilities, such as deep analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT). For instance, we have accelerated business transformations by incorporating the cloud into operations—a step that is more critical than ever. We also help companies rapidly build new digital businesses from scratch, combining the resilience of an incumbent with the flexibility and speed of a startup. In record time, our clients have been able to launch new business models, redeploy talent, shift operations, develop innovative products, and improve productivity.

Our capabilities help clients enhance customer management, including communications, information tracking, data sharing, and analysis. They also improve field service and spare-parts management in the aftermarket. With our support, clients can enhance their analytical capabilities to harvest the full power of data across SKUs, customers, regions, and business units. They can also develop data-based tools to help them understand customers’ aftermarket requirements, cost drivers, and economics.

We helped an A&D supplier transform its entire business model across operations, commercial processes, and support functions. We shaped their transformation by defining new use cases, finding digitization opportunities along the value chain, and identifying the potential for process automation. One major focus involved helping the company apply advanced analytics in multiple areas. The program included an agile organization redesign, modernization of the technology infrastructure, and a cultural transformation focused on digital adoption and change management.

We helped an aerospace manufacturer undertake a digital transformation focused on product-centered capabilities that delivered hundreds of millions in additional revenue. We embedded agile processes across the entire product-development organization, helped define and deliver new digital offerings to customers, launched digital sales tools, and introduced applications that leveraged advanced analytics to enhance engineering productivity.

A global provider of aerospace services launched a digital transformation to reinvent its capabilities and transform customer journeys. After defining the vision and roadmap, we helped set up cross-functional capabilities related to design thinking and agile processes. We also identified best practices for adopting digital tools. Finally, we helped the company attract digital talent and build the infrastructure and capabilities needed to track customer-experience metrics.
