Information & Decision Solutions (IDS) - formerly named Information Technology (IT) is the strategic aim of P&G. It isn't just about technology. It's about using information and technology to transform the way P&G does business. It is made up of more than 3,000 professionals across the globe. It creates the systems and tools that help P&G gather, analyze and use information to dramatically improve the way it does business. It adds value by using information and technological solutions and tools, helps P&G businesses get to market faster, make stronger connections with consumers, and make better, faster decisions.
P&G used a series of information systems to collect and analyze retail sales data. They use those information systems to finely tune promotional campaigns. P&G developed capabilities to electronically exchange orders with its largest customers, and began to redevelop its order, billing, and shipping systems.
To get the greatest benefits from an information system, consider it an adaptable tool that progresses as business progresses. Don’t get locked into inflexible technology, grow a system that delivers on what you really need most today, knowing that when tomorrow’s new challenges come, the system will have the flexibility to adapt. This is where custom software development delivers strongly.
