EXECUTIVE BIOLUIS CANEPARI
TITLE: CIO
INDUSTRY: MINING
LOCATION: USAthe five-year roadmap for Newmont to plan
how everything should be sequenced and
budgeted to accelerate this digital journey
together,” explains Allen. Because change is
rapid in the mining industry, it was important
to identify the different constituencies in
Newmont and how the move to a digital core
should be sequenced to modernize, eliminate
redundancies and sequence their systems
changes in years to come.”
Canepari highlights that Newmont
piggybacked on IBM’s M&A experience to
place all systems into one single landscape.
“Rapid Discovery was about bringing our key
stakeholders together across every business
function for the most optimal outcome.”
Operational & Technological Alignment
Canepari’s team are focused on catering to all
stakeholders, from the mining sites to the back
office. “We build trust and reliability. For us to
enable automation, AI and push forward with
this digital transformation our system needs
to be reliable, even during a global pandemic,
and our networks need to remain operational
at all sites, no matter how remote their
locations,” he says.
“ With the migration
of all our systems
to the cloud, we’ve
managed to shut
down five data
centers already.”
