Achieving Sustainable Operating Costs and Providing Value with KPMG Managed Services

In the face of growing complexities within the industrial manufacturing sector, companies are on a continuous quest to not only sustain but also enhance their growth trajectories. KPMG's latest insights reveal that fewer than 40% of industrial manufacturing CEOs are optimistic about achieving growth rates of more than 2.5% over the next three years. The sector is currently grappling with rising costs, the imperative need for digital transformation, and mounting cybersecurity threats. In response, many organizations are turning to managed services as a strategic solution to these challenges.

Unlocking Growth Through Managed Services

Managed services are emerging as a beacon of hope for industrial manufacturers, offering a pathway to navigate through the maze of digital transformation, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance challenges. About 70% of industrial manufacturing organizations have already embraced managed services, seeking expertise in areas such as cybersecurity, compliance, and data management. This strategic shift is not merely about managing costs but about fostering innovation, agility, and resilience in operations.

Key Trends and Considerations

1

Digital Transformation: Digitalization and connectivity remain at the top of the agenda for industrial CEOs aiming for growth. Yet, a significant gap exists in confidence regarding the current technological capabilities to meet these objectives.

2

Cybersecurity Threats: With nearly half of the industrial control system professionals highlighting a lack of adequate cybersecurity, the focus on securing operational technology has never been more critical.

3

Regulatory Compliance: The ever-evolving landscape of regulatory requirements poses a significant challenge, urging companies to find sustainable and agile compliance processes.

The Value Proposition of Managed Services

Managed services are transcending traditional transactional models, moving towards outcome-based, as-a-service subscriptions that promise not just cost savings but also strategic advantages such as:

  • Reduced Operational Costs: Potential to lower total operational costs by 15 to 45%, with scalable solutions that adapt to changing business priorities.
  • Enhanced Cybersecurity: Customized managed detection and response services tailored for the industrial manufacturing sector to address the expanding attack surface.
  • Agile Compliance Processes: Automated solutions to keep pace with regulatory changes, ensuring compliance and supporting ESG initiatives.
