Allison Transmission — Supplier Assessment and Strategy

Chrysalis Global’s Technology and Manufacturing team supported General Motors’ Allison Transmission Division through its Project Management consulting service suite, leading a large-scale information technology sourcing and transition initiative. Chrysalis was engaged to provide structured program management across vendor selection, contract negotiation, and implementation for outsourced IT services. The engagement required disciplined coordination across executive leadership, technical teams, and external vendors to manage a high-value outsourcing decision approaching contract renewal. Chrysalis led requirements definition, market analysis, and a formal RFP process; evaluated vendor responses; and supported negotiation of pricing, service levels, and contractual terms for a $100 million IT services agreement. Following contract award, Chrysalis provided ongoing program oversight during implementation—establishing governance processes, service-level monitoring, and compliance mechanisms to ensure contractual objectives were met. Through structured execution management and vendor oversight, the engagement delivered a 40% reduction in total IT operating costs while improving service performance and accountability.
