Imerys: Unifying internal communications globally with ChromeOS and Comeen Play
Overview
Imerys, a world leader in specialized mineral-based products, had a goal to communicate more directly and efficiently with workers at its facilities and offices across the world. In particular, the Paris-based company needed a creative solution to deliver news and important information to deskless workers, who make up 40% of the Imerys workforce.
Adding to the challenge was the scope and reach of Imerys’ operations: The company has over 230 industrial sites around the world, and its employees speak over 20 different languages. Already users of Google Workspace, ChromeOS was a natural step in their journey to the cloud.
Imerys chose Comeen Play, an enterprise-grade digital signage solution from Comeen, running on ChromeOS. To improve communications, these screens have been placed in a variety of key areas for worker interaction.
