Multi-Plant Packaging Company Drives Revenue Improvement – The CIO’s Perspective

Bringing six newly acquired plants under the corporate umbrella was going smoothly, but he saw at least one area, quality systems, that needed to change. And he knew it was not going to be a popular decision. “They went kicking and screaming,” but the resistance was founded on lack of experience.

This is something many of our clients have in common: having to make decisions with inadequate knowledge.
