PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that its Information Technology (IT) team has received the ‘Tech Team of the Year’ award from the Pittsburgh Technology Council. PPG was selected among five finalists in recognition of its landmark cloud-only IT transformation.
The initiative allowed the company to close eight global company data centers and migrate or retire more than 5,000 workloads, delivering over $4 million in annual savings, lowering environmental impact and accelerating business agility. Through the system’s features, the team increased developer speed and efficiency by up to 80% while strengthening security, compliance and cost transparency.
“Operating as a product-centric organization, our Cloud Platforms and Solutions team empowers PPG’s global businesses to innovate faster, scale responsibly and confidently harness modern cloud and AI technologies,” said Bhaskar Ramachandran, PPG vice president and chief information officer. “Through these efforts and others, we’re positioning PPG as a first-choice coatings partner for its stakeholders globally.”
