IBM to give Indian jewellers IT edge

Most of these businesses are family run, moving to IBM would help jewelers build a highly scalable, cost-effective IT structure

IBM on Tuesday said it was working with leading jewellry manufacturers and retailers in India to transform their information technology (IT) infrastructure.

 

“Being home-grown, and mostly family-run, these businesses are accustomed to traditional methods of manufacturing and accountability. These jewellery businesses are now leveraging technology to ensure a world class output,” IBM said in a release. “IBM’s solutions will help the jewellers build a highly scaleable and cost-effective IT architecture.”

 

IBM said Thangamayil Jewellery (Madurai), Emerald Jewel Industries (Coimbatore),  Dimexon Diamonds (Mumbai), Venus Jewels (Surat), and ACPL Exports (Agra) are using IBM Smarter Computing solutions to improve efficiency of their production and manufacturing units.

 

Using IBM's solutions, jewellers will be able to ensure effective deployment of new processes, which would help reduce expenditure.

 

“By offering a combination of these solutions tailor-made for their specifications, IBM is playing a pivotal role in enhancing the operational infrastructure for the jewellry sector in India,” IBM said.
