Case Study: CDG Helps A Leading Cement Manufacturer Focus On Growing Sales By Adapting Software Tools For Order Entry And Accounting Processes

CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation is the largest manufacturer of specialty fast-setting cement and shrinkage compensating cement in the United States. Its professional grade construction cement products are manufactured at more than 15 facilities throughout the United States, and distributed through a network of over 500 distributors and dealers. Whether you're driving on a California highway, taxiing down a newly paved airport runway, or picking up a bag of cement from the local home improvement store for your remodeling projects, it's likely you may come in contact with CTS Cement products.

A few years ago, CTS was a $21M company that had been given some fairly ambitious directives from its owner: (1) double sales within 5 years, (2) "go paperless" in business operations, and (3) do not increase staffing levels in the process of achieving those goals. No easy task to be sure, but the company realized the importance of making these changes in order to continue to grow and remain competitive.

After careful evaluation, CTS selected Hyland OnBase®, an integrated suite of enterprise content management software solutions which includes core capabilities in electronic document management, document imaging and workflow, COLD/ ERM and records management. The solution was rolled out in a phased approach.
