⇨ Cooper Standard selected OpenText™ Extended ECM for SAP® Solutions as its global document management platform, establishing a single, secure, and compliant information resource for the entire business.
⇨ The transition to digital documentation supported Cooper Standard's sustainability goals by reducing paper consumption and print costs.
Cooper Standard embarked on an initiative to digitize its extensive paper-based records, transitioning to a centralized electronic document management system. This move aimed to eliminate thousands of paper documents, enhance accessibility, and reduce physical storage needs, while streamlining information flow and cutting costs. Historically, the company faced challenges with scattered paper records and multiple shared drives, which created data silos and compliance risks.

This new system ensured regulatory compliance, simplified processes, reduced costs, and supported sustainability goals by minimizing paper usage. It provided easy access to comprehensive document histories, aiding in tasks like verifying employment dates and answering warranty questions. Additionally, the digitized records enabled engineers to analyze historical data, improving production processes and reducing waste.
