Bowater Incorporated, one of the world’s largest producers
of newsprint and specialty papers, has become the latest
paper company to rededicate resources to improve their cost
management process. The company has signed a software
license and professional services agreement with 3C Software

Canada.
Under the agreement, 3C Software will work directly with
Bowater finance, operations and IT teams to implement an

reduce or eliminate costs. By exactly modeling the
production process with Impact:ECS, Bowater will have the
ability to calculate cost data at any stage, giving
decision-makers the insight to make good choices for the
business.
The Integrated Planning and Costing Methodology developed by

budget information without the need for spreadsheets or
other external work-arounds. “The culmination of our
experience in the paper industry allows 3C Software to
deliver a highly-functional costing solution in a short
implementation period,” shares 3C Software CEO Matthew
