AbitibiBowater Merger Expands Need for Detailed Cost Management
Solution
In 2007, Abitibi Consolidated and Bowater Inc merged creating
the largest newsprint producer in North America with over 45
percent share of the market. Through its previous engagement
with Bowater Inc, 3C Software delivered detailed grade costing
solutions using its Integrated Planning and Costing Methodology
developed specifically for paper companies. The success of this
implementation led the newly-formed AbitibiBowater to select the
Impact:ECS Enterprise Cost System for the Abitibi mills to create
one platform for cost management for all 35 US and Canadian locations.
By expanding Impact:ECS across its entire mill operation, AbitibiBowater
will have the ability to gather detailed grade costing data, develop
comprehensive budgets, and make better product mix decisions. Finance,
operations and technology teams will work directly with 3C Software paper
industry experts to create a costing solution that centralizes cost data
to allow true information continuity throughout the company.
“AbitibiBowater’s decision to expand the use of Impact:ECS speaks volumes
to the benefits we provide to paper companies,” shared Matthew Smith,
President and CEO of 3C Software. “Our best-of-breed solution is the
answer to rigid ERP solutions that don’t provide the detailed analysis
required to remain competitive in the paper industry.”
