Coty – “Great company, poor IT investment”

Pros

* Fast growing and very well run company
* Keen eye for existing brands and making them an even bigger success story
* Great people

Cons

Information technology department is totally underfunded and understaffed however the business continues to ask for more giving less. The current IT staff is being burned out as no investment is done in full time employees, everything is "filled" with contract or outsourced services what is a big issue for a fast growing org.

Advice to Senior Management

Spend more on IT and get more FTEs on board so the company is protected by folks who care. The growth is not sustainable buy relying on outsiders.
