Strategic options appraisal for consolidating IT operations across 8 countries in Asia-Pacific.
Led the options appraisal for Allianz to determine the best location and delivery model for a new Regional Delivery Centre. Used a weighted assessment framework across 8 countries, supporting executive decision-making.
The objective was to assess the feasibility of establishing a Regional Delivery Centre (RDC) that would centralize IT development and operations for 8 countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Challenges & how I solved them
Complex regulatory environments in countries like Indonesia and Sri Lanka with strict data movement rules. Balancing long-term cost efficiency with short-term transition complexity. Stakeholder alignment across Allianz Global, Regional, and Local teams.
