IT Systems Portfolio Management is a challenge

One of the key challenges in companies is to properly manage the IT systems portfolio, in order to have most efficient computer support of company activities and at the same time keep the IT cost under control.
In most companies a mixture of different IT systems is day-to-day reality. In particular the implementation of adequate interfaces is critical to assure that different systems interact with each other and that integrated management reporting is available.

JW Data Consulting has the expertise to support your company in preparing your IT systems for the future, in particular in following areas:

• IT Systems Architecture / Planning
• IT Systems for REACH (European legislation for chemical substances)
• Data Management / Data Quality

Our expertise has been built up as result of projects in an international environment, e.g. in a major chemical company (Dow Chemical) as well as in recent activities at Cefic, the European Council for the Chemical industry.
Projects at Dow included the development of European and Global Systems, as well as global responsibility for Data Management.

As of 2003, efforts have been focused on supporting industry to guide development and implementation of IT systems for REACH, based at Cefic, the European Council for the Chemical Industry. These systems were developed by ECHA or by means of industry initiatives.
The most recent project included the development of a XML data exchange standard for Exposure Scenario data in the Supply Chain.

The expertise in global projects and the knowledge about REACH IT systems is an excellent basis to support companies in setting the direction for their overall IT systems portfolio and/or implementation of systems for REACH.
