Taking on the Data Center

In Allstate's case, the seeds for the merger were planted when the lease on the data center's building was nearing its end. A team met to discuss options, one of which was to merge the output processing center with Tierney's operation. The team did a financial estimate, analyzed trends in electronic printing and, in the end, decided to move the output processing center into a 70,000-square-foot area in Tierney's 429,000-square-foot facility.
