Manager of Technical Development  Medway PlasticsMedway Plastics is a custom injection molding and manufacturing company. As part of their cost control efforts, the company was looking for ways to improve productivity.

Migration to Office Live Meeting was quick and easy, and benefits began flowing immediately. For example, Medway found many cases where machine repair could be resolved quickly by remote staff, saving travel time and often as much as two days of machine downtime in each instance, which added up to a very favorable return on investment. With multiple Microsoft data centers managing its information, Medway has enjoyed a high level of security and reliability.  Arch Chemicals"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a very powerful tool for us.
