2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks; it was a helpful answer to start with but the customer actually wanted me to use "harmonization" and said the two were different concepts. "The customer is always right," I guess!"

standardising and consolidating IT resources

It's one thing to standardise on a set of solutions going forward and another thing to get rid of legacy software and hardware. Achieving 'homogénéisation' really means doing both.
Even consolidation doesn't necessarily imply homogeneity, but "consolidating and standardising" is common corporate-speak for this kind of objective.
