General Motors announced that it will be investing further into its Technical Center campus in Warren, Michigan. $130 million will be put to use in order to build an enterprise data center that “will result in an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art Information Technology (IT) Operations and Command Center that consolidates GM’s IT infrastructure, reduces operating costs and cuts energy use by 40 percent.”
In addition to the investment, GM will also be adding 25 highly specialized jobs to the Warren, Michigan plant. “This new facility and other GM data centers around the world support the tools the company needs to design, build and sell the world’s best vehicles through digital applications enabling all business functions,” said Terry Kline, GM vice president and chief information officer. The renovations are planed to be complete by 2015.
