The establishment of EGCC represents a core initiative of 鶹 Group’s long-term IT strategy. By integrating external expertise and cutting-edge technologies, the EGCC insources the design and operation of internal information technology services. This, in turn, enables delivery of standardized high quality information technology services in a secure environment, strongly supporting 鶹 Group’s global business operations. With the EGCC taking the lead in global IT functions, 鶹 will transition its organizational structure, allowing regional IT functions to focus more on strategic business transformation aligning with their region-specific operations.
