Tosoh America
Tosoh America, Inc., parent company of a rapidly growing number of Tosoh group companies in North America, was challenged with establishing continuity with its web presence, content and functionality among its subsidiaries. To complicate the situation, several subsidiaries had special requirements—including e-commerce—and since Tosoh is a global company, all projects require coordination with offices around the world. To achieve this massive goal, Tosoh America elected to create a Content Management and web site hosting platform for their subsidiary’s websites.

Tosoh America recognized that an outside specialist would be the most efficient resource to handle the task, but their previous experience with some consulting firms proved less than satisfactory. Due to high staff turnover, these companies simply could not provide the consistent performance Tosoh America needed. That’s where the Wavefront approach made a significant difference.

Rather than filling chairs with the right skill set, Wavefront provided a stable team of veteran IT professionals—for the long haul. Wavefront worked alongside Tosoh America’s management and IT teams to understand the business challenges, objectives and desired outcomes. Together, a solution was developed that leveraged a variety of sophisticated technologies, including Microsoft Content Management Server, SQL Server, and custom .Net applications.

Today, Wavefront and Tosoh America’s IT group have a strong partnership, collaborating to provide better service, better results, and a better price. Tosoh America can offer web development and deployment services to its subsidiaries at a cost and speed that could not be effectively reproduced previously. Additionally, Tosoh America is now able to launch smaller TOSOH sites within weeks of a request, with a consistent Tosoh brand, allowing the subsidiaries to leverage preexisting work. With Wavefront as a resource, Tosoh America can also ramp up and down to meet demand accordingly. Now that this partnership has seen the successful launch of several new websites in the US and Asia, many more are in the works—and Wavefront looks forward to helping Tosoh America continue to become even more efficient and prosperous.
