Case Studies: Online collaboration tools
The following three case studies exemplify how Aquent provides solutions for collaboration:
Case Study 1: This client needed to streamline applications, automate processes, and implement e-business solutions to better manage and collaborate with global suppliers.
- The client outsourced the entire project to Aquent, which:
- Built 30 applications containing over 30,000 pages of content.
- Consolidated numerous manual process and additional applications.
- Created a standardized look and feel for all supplier management applications.
- Developed a web-based portal where suppliers and the client teams could access all supplier management applications and content through a single seamless interface.
This e-transformation resulted in a savings of $17 million in the first year, a 12% improvement in supplier delivery performance, and an 11% improvement in supplier quality, annually.
Case Study 2: This client had developed close to 2000 SharePoint and/or Clearspace collaboration sites for internal product development teams, engineering teams, and external suppliers to capture and share information, knowledge, and best practices and to allow teams to collaborate on various initiatives. They needed ongoing support for site enhancements and end-user support. Aquent provided an onsite consulting resource to lead these enhancement and support initiatives on an ongoing basis.
Case Study 3: This client maintained 16 different websites for information sharing between internal suppliers and various stakeholders within the company divisions. The client’s Corporate Communications group selected Aquent to provide consulting and lead the initiative to develop a standardized look and feel and overall approach to information sharing and collaboration for these various groups.
"The Aquent approach is both flexible and rigorous, because it is entirely focused on satisfying the business needs of very specialized users. What we needed most was a solution that would be adopted quickly and used effectively to improve the business."
