Case Study: Holcim achieves uninterrupted productivity during merger with Google Cloud Platform

How Chrome Browser helped LafargeHolcim stay productive during a merger

LafargeHolcim, the leading global building products and solutions company, faced the complex task of merging the IT systems of two of the world’s largest cement manufacturers while maintaining business continuity and a cohesive user experience across a newly combined workforce.

They standardized on Chrome Browser (and Android devices) and used Google’s Admin console to manage policies centrally, giving employees uninterrupted access to cloud and web apps and simplifying IT management. The move sped up the integration, reduced costs—“saved the company thousands of dollars every year,” per Paul Young—and enabled employees to collaborate and innovate on the go.
