How Veolia North America’s CIO Aligned Business and IT Behind a 2x Growth Strategy

A 2030 deadline with yesterday’s tools

As part of Veolia’s global GreenUp strategy to double the business by 2030, Veolia North America was tasked with serving as a critical growth engine. As CIO, Balamurali Rengarajan was accountable for equipping the organization with top-tier digital tools to accelerate that growth — and for proving DB&T could operate in a new, AI-driven way. The team needed a platform designed for the modern CIO office and built to drive business value first.

Turning strategy into velocity

trmeric’s purpose-built agents became Veolia’s strategy consulting partners — working alongside Business and IT teams to ideate and build roadmaps for high-value initiatives such as SIB and Muni Water. The platform gives every stakeholder a unified view of the portfolio from idea to delivered outcome, with “zero-touch” governance automating risk management and value reporting. Deep integration with Veolia’s enterprise applications ensures business value is tracked and reported at every major milestone.

“What sets trmeric apart is its ability to unify strategic planning, execution tracking, and value realization within a single, coherent platform.” Balamurali Rengarajan, SVP and CIO, North America Business

Proof in the roadmap

Since adopting trmeric, DB&T’s operational productivity has grown 50-60%, and the team now formulates and launches digital roadmaps 3-5x faster. trmeric has also enabled Veolia to decommission multiple siloed legacy applications, cutting cost and complexity. These gains show up directly in initiatives launched over the past 1-2 years: Program Leapfrog (Energy), Transcelerate (Hazardous Waste), WaterNXT (Water Management), and Fireproof 2.0 (Infrastructure & Cybersecurity).

Built to keep accelerating

As Veolia North America continues driving toward Veolia’s 2030 growth target, trmeric remains central to that agenda — giving Business and IT teams a shared way to ideate, prioritize, and launch new initiatives faster with each cycle. Leadership expects the platform to keep compounding value as the digital roadmap scales alongside the business.

“I would strongly recommend trmeric to any CIO looking to elevate their office from a support function to a strategic driver of enterprise value.” Balamurali Rengarajan, SVP and CIO, North America Business

trmeric has become a critical enabler for our CIO office, bringing structure, visibility, and measurable impact to how we govern technology and drive transformation. It has significantly improved our ability to align IT initiatives with business outcomes, prioritize investments with clarity, and maintain real-time oversight across a complex portfolio. - Balamurali Rengarajan, SVP and CIO, North America Business
