Digital Business Automation Solution
For a global producer and distributor of dairy products
Company annual revenue is $4B (Canadian division)
Business Challenge
Experienced low productivity and high costs of processing in the Canadian Accounts Payable department. Supplier invoices were being sent daily by courier to a central location. Invoices were being processed, approved, filed, and retrieved manually. This process was both slow and costly.
Solution
We deployed a digital business automation solution to streamline accounts payable processing. Invoices are now scanned and archived, then routed electronically for approval. Images are linked to (and accessible from) vouchers in the customer’s accounts payable system.
Solution was then deployed in the American division

Infrastructure Solution
North American packaging manufacturer
Company annual revenue is $600M
Business Challenge
High cost of maintenance and operations caused by the different technologies used across all sites. Plant disaster recovery was complex as each plant was unique and many technologies were involved. The group wanted to modernize some of their plants to reach out to new markets and gain new investors. Their high technology debt made it difficult to succeed.
Solution
Using IBM Systems (Power + Storage) and IBM Cloud technologies, we were able to create a common infrastructure platform across the various sites and to provide robust, centralized, and innovative disaster recovery services.
It was the first multi-platform disaster recovery project in Canada
