Key Take Away: East West designed and executed the client's global information technology infrastructure which has been installed in their China office. This infrastructure protects their IP and adheres to the Chinese regulations.
Background:
The company is a multi-national Western-based industrial manufacturer who decided to open a China office. This office will be collecting and managing sensitive market data which it will shared with their US headquarters - this information will consist of proprietary information, including manufacturing processes, formulas of production, customer and vendor data, strategic initiatives, competitor information, and pricing structures.
Company did not have a global IT infrastructure to support the information and communication needs. The client was unaware of how Chinese restrictions could impact this infrastructure and lacked knowledge of qualified IT vendors to implement the China portion of this infrastructure.
Challenge:
