The major problem of Pirelli's information system is that it does not allow easy access. This is because information systems of each country are developed locally and are independent of each other. Access to information plays a crucial role in the success of a business, because without adequate access, a management team cannot properly manage and plan the activity for their brand. Despite a head office with centralized decisions, Pirelli has not been given the structure of a global company and this is proved by the lack of communication between systems.
This lack of communication greatly hinders the sharing of results and their analyses are the basis of corporate management. That is why, when the company decided on a new plan that emphasizes the role of information in the enterprise, the global IT infrastructure in Pirelli became a bottleneck for the direction of the goal management plan that is supposed to bring new ideas and take advantage of business opportunities that arise.

It is therefore difficult to communicate data and information from one site to another or even a global view of business operations. These multiple local systems induced a particular cost structure and operating costs that weighed seriously in corporate finance and reduced the competitive advantage that could take out.

[...] This requires defining the key business processes for the company. Thus, in accordance with performance criteria, functions crucial to the success of the firm are supervised by key systems selected by management. Another criterion of promoting uniform application throughout the world was the need to develop integrated systems and complete. The question remains for the remaining systems, I think it should still connect them, as they may contain key information, but they must adapt to the specificities of each antenna (even be slightly different from each other) .

[...] I think that a decentralized company needs to leave room for maneuver in terms of information management divisions in different countries of settlement. But even if the organization is decentralized, the Head Office should be able to exercise a high degree of control over the SI of its divisions (particularly major systems) and that to regain tighter control in order to solve a crisis for example or to end audits. However, the degree of control left to local divisions ultimately was irrelevant, the important thing is that the seat must always retain the right to inspect and issue its orders (any time) that must be followed by all units.
