Imagine: What they needed iVision to solve or what the issue was CRH Americas Materials is a global company dedicated to heavy construction materials. With 25,000 employees across 1,300 locations in Canada and the U.S., CRH struggled to consolidate all of their technology systems. Fralick knew that they couldn’t keep the standard they needed or accelerate their capabilities/standard without external expertise. They needed someone with the tools to make things more efficient for the team so they could focus on moving the company forward instead of spending so many resources on the scrambled systems. QUOTE “The situation was incredibly manual and very reactive and ad-hoc and we weren’t keeping up with the standards that we wanted … so we were looking for both tools and expertise.” Alan Fralick, CIO CRH Americas Materials Build: What iVision did for them Fralick knew the work CRH required help that could let the team consolidate their systems and keep up with patching without having to expand the team. After careful deliberation, he chose iVision because they had the knowledge and expertise to help the team. Fralick knew that CRH wouldn’t be able to continue growing or improving and innovating if they didn’t develop a new system. iVision came into CRH and focused on how to improve efficiency and get rid of unnecessary extra work that was wasting the team’s time. iVision assisted the team in adjusting their environment so they could offload the extra work that was to be done to keep everything up to date all the time. Quote: “it’s definitely the epitome of a partnership in that the team acts as an extension of our team. The collaboration is very effective in the balance of being able to push forward but not breaking any other requirements or objectives.” Alan Fralick CIO CRH Americas Materials Thrive: How awesomely it’s working With iVision’s collaborative efforts and resources, CRH was able to consolidate their technology systems into something efficient and high-quality. CRH’s team CRH’s team now is now able to let their team push forward and accelerate the company without breaking other duties and requirements, can grow and innovate now and improve. iVision helped the team be able to meet and exceed all their requirements. With the freed up time, Fralick says the team can now QUOTE “allowed us to accelerate software deployments, and be more effectively reactive to problems at security and capability standpoints What Fralick appreciated most about iVision was their approach to partnership. iVision carefully studied and learned CRH to know who they were as a company and what was unique about their company and their problem to create a unique solution personalized to the company and its problem. Fralick - “If I were to give anybody advice on why I would choose iVision it’s because they really work to understand us as a company and they don’t just walk in trying to give cookie cutter answers”
