digitisation was seen as the next natural step . As a result , Ansaldo STS is currently in the process of implementing a new digital procurement platform . “ This will help us streamline our processes and it will also give us a global tool where all procurement professionals can work during the sourcing process ,” observes Fanfani . “ I strongly believe that in a global environment like today , which is becoming more and more digital , procurement also needs to be in line with that . I would say that this is the first step for implementing further technologies in the future .”
In today ’ s global market , Ansaldo STS may be facing stronger competition but Fanfani is confident that with its newfound global approach , the company is well up for the challenge . Leveraging the power and image of its parent group , Hitachi , it seems the only way for Ansaldo STS is onwards and upwards . “ As a part of Hitachi , we can leverage their expertise and utilise the power we have behind us , particularly when it comes to technology . It ’ s really important for us to be updated with the latest digital transformation . It ’ s not something to be considered ‘ nice to have ’, it ’ s mandatory .”
