Microsoft Exchange Delivers a 415 percent ROI for Aventis

Aventis achieves significant benefits by building a single collaborative architecture after its creation through merger.

Nucleus Research analysts independently examined the global deployment of Microsoft Exchange at Aventis and found the company achieved a 415% return on its investment (ROI) with a payback period of just 9 months. By creating a single messaging and collaboration architecture that reaches across the nearly 100 countries where Aventis has a presence, the company was able to increase the quality of company-wide communication. The result was both an increase in group productivity and a decrease in travel costs. Aventis believes it gained benefit from this communication both in the product development effort and in a greater sense of community for the employees of this global company.
