Stronger Than Ever
Upper management was excited about the new DocuTech. The in-plant was looking forward to reducing warehouse inventory. All signs pointed to a successful future for the in-plant.
Then came some unexpected curve balls.
First, Colonial Life was purchased by Unum Group, a major provider of employee benefits. Unum consolidated the in-plant with its own. Then in 1999, Unum outsourced forms management, production and fulfillment to R.R. Donnelley & Sons. All the in-plant’s hard work seemed for naught.
