Case Study: AkzoNobel achieves reduced costs and global efficiency with Infor Optiva (Infor PLM)

AkzoNobel reduces costs and gains efficiency with Infor Optiva

AkzoNobel, the world’s largest paints and coatings company, needed to manage a complex global raw-material portfolio and ensure accurate safety data across changing product lifecycles. The company also sought to optimize R&D resources, reduce reliance on legacy homegrown systems, enable collaborative product development and manufacturing across sites, and cut redundant material costs while improving data accuracy and governance.

Implementing Infor Optiva PLM gave AkzoNobel a single integrated solution that generates industry-standard MSDS out of the box, unifies project and formula data across locations, and lets dispersed teams view consistent, current information. The result was reduced waste and redundant material costs, improved product development quality and efficiency globally, and greater data governance and IT flexibility.
