The Background
North America’s largest flat-rolled steel company, based in Ohio and headquartered in Cleveland, experienced significant expansion through the strategic acquisition of two large steel companies.
The Problem
In just 18 months, the Fortune 500 company’s workforce skyrocketed from 2,500 to 25,000 employees. This growth led to complex challenges including multiple outdated software systems, and incompatible ERP platforms across the newly acquired entities.
The lack of integration posed operational inefficiencies, hindered data flow, and prevented standardized processes. The client faced the daunting task of streamlining these varied systems into a unified, scalable, and efficient infrastructure.
The Solution
The company sought a solution through an experienced IT staffing agency proficient in:
- Identifying key pain points
- Addressing critical skill gaps
- Fulfilling project-based requirements for both the IT team and overall business
The Impact
Since partnering with Artemis in 2022:
- 9 IT experts have been added to the steel company’s team in the areas of ERP Integrations, Project Management and Application Development
- Provided fully-vetted, qualified candidates within 48 hours, effectively optimizing their time and resources
- Facilitated collaboration between consultants and internal teams, fostering knowledge transfer and ensuring alignment with the organization’s objectives
This effort streamlined operations and laid a robust foundation for future growth and adaptability, further reinforcing the client’s position as a steel industry leader. Artemis IT Staffing has become a strategic partner for future acquisitions and IT project-based needs.
“This has been one of the easiest groups to work with and who are knowledgeable concerning the skills that we require. Artemis follows up frequently to check on the analyst’s progress and if there are any other items to address.”
