The DDB Group (an imaginary business) Was formed in 1882 as the Dursley Drill Bit Company Succeeded due to quality and patented processes Has grown world-wide by acquisition of other companies Each acquisition had own production processes that must be retained due to their speciality and excellence Now produces hi-tech drill bits, cutters, routers, grinders and millers for the machine tool industry Operated as a loose collection of semi-autonomous specialist companies The Impact of SOA on Business

The DDB Group (an imaginary business) DDB Group is now the preferred supplier to major machine tool manufacturers Customers are manufactures, users and spares wholesalers The wide range of specialist products means:- DDB does not hold large stocks Products only manufactured against verified orders Time for change The Impact of SOA on Business

The Impact of SOA on Business Transition at DDB Requirements for change The Group must present a united front to the customer The administrative overhead must be reduced A business principle The production processes are a valuable asset and must remain unchanged State of the transition Internal business processes have been rationalized Geographically dispersed But based on common processes Using integrated data The challenge Rationalization of the business processes after production The Impact of SOA on Business

Summary of The DDB Group History Formed in 1882 Success due to:- Quality of products Patented Processes Global growth by acquisition of similar companies Semi-autonomous operation The Business Challenge United front to customer Establish global branding Reduce administrative overhead Preserve specialist production processes Rationalization of post production processes Current Status Produces hi-tech drill bits, cutters, routers, grinders and millers Customers are manufactures, users and spares wholesalers Preferred supplier to major machine tool manufacturers Products only manufactured against verified orders Rationalized order and production management Rationalized financial control The Impact of SOA on Business
