SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today awarded the
prestigious Digital Transformation Innovation Award to
General Motors (GM) and the Carrefour Group, in recognition of
their outstanding efforts leveraging technology in new and
inventive ways to respond to emerging market demands, helping them
to effectively run and transform their business. The awards will be
announced this week at Micro Focus Universe 2020, the company's
flagship customer event, being conducted virtually this year due to
the current pandemic.
Micro Focus will present GM with its Americas region award for
its implementation of IT Operations Management (ITOM), Security and
Application Delivery Management (ADM) products, which have resulted
in tremendous efficiency and savings, allowing the group to be more
flexible and responsive to market demands. The Carrefour Group
will receive the award for the European region based on its recent
work with Micro Focus' Security and ADM products, both of which are
vital components of the company's overall digital transformation
strategy.
"With 40,000 customers worldwide, and nearly all of them going
through some form of digital or business transformation, we have an
opportunity to work with excellent IT and business leaders on a
global scale to help them both manage the complexity of enterprise
IT and adapt to emerging market requirements," said Genefa Murphy,
Chief Marketing Officer at Micro Focus. "GM and The Carrefour Group
stand out because they are thinking strategically about how to
bridge emerging and existing technologies in order to move faster,
have greater agility, secure what matters most, and leverage
insights to drive efficiencies and value. They are challenging
themselves and us."
GM has been pushing the limits of transportation and technology
for over 100 years. Change at GM is directed at providing greater
information efficiency resulting in faster decisions and a shorter
time to market. GM worked with Micro Focus to implement its ITOM
Platform, which provides IT operations management tools and
technology that offer cross-IT insights and control, resulting in
accelerated delivery of products and services. Additionally, GM
leverages Micro Focus security products to safely modernize and
deploy its systems protecting against the dynamic threat landscape
in GM's core markets.
Carrefour recently launched its "Carrefour 2022" vision, which
brings together their strong customer focus and desire for a more
agile, efficient and omnichannel ecosystem. Carrefour deployed an
accelerated customer data encryption platform to protect customer
data, neutralize data breaches, and drive business value through
secure data use. They have also successfully achieved a move to
include machine learning, analytics, and stronger business insights
leveraging Micro Focus SMAX.
Nominations for the Digital Transformation Innovation Award
started earlier this year. It was a competitive and rigorous
selection process, and several great companies with compelling
results were nominated from both North
America and European regions. The nominations were
reviewed by Micro Focus' executive committee to find an
organization that displayed how they successfully evolved
digitally. GM and Carrefour stood out as they worked hard to
embrace Micro Focus' view of digital transformation and helping
organizations innovate faster, with less risk, in the race to
digital transformation.
