KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation is a leader in the paper and paper products industry -- with a specific focus in the areas of paper, packaging, and forest products.

After the acquisition of several small manufacturing units in different locations, KapStone realized the need to refine its business processes as well as improve the ability for its employees to collaborate.

The business challenge posed to Unbounded involved the availability of content during WAN disruptions in natural disaster situations -- as well as furthering the capability to allow employees to collaborate from any location. KapStone also wanted to standardize its process by migrating resources from its existing content management systems.

Unbounded Solutions worked with KapStone to implement a global solution for all of their employees that would provide effective content management, collaboration and business intelligence.
