Case Study
CCL Industries Inc.
Critical Issue CCL runs its business on IBM i. After consolidating its five iSeries servers, including a mix of models, onto one IBM i server, that server assumed sole responsibility for running the company’s JD Edwards World and SSA PRMS ERP applications for all of CCL’s North American facilities. With so much riding on a single server, avoiding downtime became a pressing concern. Business Challenge While CCL Industries Inc. of Toronto, Canada may not be a household name, its products are familiar worldwide. CCL manufactures a wide range of consumer and industrial goods from hair and skin care products to cleaners and cooking sprays. In addition to its Custom Manufacturing Division, CCL’s Container, Plastic Packaging, and Label Divisions are leaders in their industry sectors.
