Business and Technology Transition
Within IDS' Advanced Systems business unit exists enabling technologies that affect all of the divisions within Global Services & Support. Advanced Global Services & Support transitions those technologies, processes and tools so they can be applied for the benefit of all areas of Global Services & Support as well as for our external customers. Several technology initiatives related to Lean+, for example, have been transitioned to Global Services & Support resulting in significant cost reductions.
