Industries we serve: forest products

AbitibiBowater: Early in 2002, Bowater's pulp division recognized the value of Forestweb's focused content and signed on as a client. In 2003, Bowater's CIO recognized Forestweb services met the company's requirements for standardized and centralized market and business information. With the support of the CIO, Bowater expanded its services throughout the company. AbitibiConsolidated also began its Forestweb services in 2003. Today as the largest North American producer of newsprint, the combined company uses many of Forestweb's solutions -- iiHub, iiFeed, Reel Time.

Boise Cascade: Becoming one of Forestweb's initial clients in 2001, Boise Building Solutions turned to Forestweb to add value to its client site. With Forestweb, usage on the Boise client site increased so dramatically that Boise Paper Solutions signed to Forestweb shortly afterward with support from the CIO. Today both Boise Inc and Boise Cascade maximizes the value from Forestweb using iiFeed, iiHub, and iiPublisher. The growth of Forestweb solutions within Boise showcases Forestweb's value – our breadth of information, the flexibility of our delivery, and the "bend-over-backward" approach of our service.

Brookfield Asset Management: As far back as 2003, when Brookfield Asset Management was called Brascan, the company signed up for Forestweb services. As the company has grown, so has its use. Today Brookfield's senior managers of timberlands -- including Island Timberlands, Longview Timberlands, ad Arcadian Timber, rely on the iiHub's excellent coverage of forestry and timberland issues to augment their need for continuous reliable information.

Canfor: Since Canfor became a client in 2002, its communication director has been instrumental in how the company has used the various Forestweb services. Canfor has used every Forestweb service from the corporate-wide industry newsfeed to its 6,000-plus employees, to iiHub for senior manager, and iiPublisher to connect with its customers. "Forestweb has absolutely risen to the challenge of providing in one seamless package information gathering, industry analysis, and information management."

Catalyst Paper: In 2003, a couple of managers at Catalyst Paper signed onto Forestweb's iiHub service. By 2006 the company had extended services to all its in sales and marketing divisions. Today Catalyst Paper, the leading manufacturer of mechanical papers, empowers its 3,000-plus employees with access to information through an open license to Forestweb services, including iiHub, iiPublisher, iiFeed, and iiReports.

Glatfelter: A Forestweb client since fall of 2004, Glatfelter's marketing and business analysts immediately recognized the impact of aligning senior managers corporate-wide with a single source of market intelligence. Today Glatfelter, a global supplier of specialty papers and engineered products, extends Forestweb services to all its 3,800 employees with an open license. Heath Frye, marketing manager compliments Forestweb on its "unparalleled quality," and said "Forestweb's services make my life so much easier because they allow me to spend my time analyzing not gathering."

International Paper: As the global leader in paper and packaging products, International Paper first became interested in Forestweb services early in 2002. At that time the pulp group signed for division-wide access and soon afterward the packaging division signed to the services through their Market Intelligence group. Today International Paper has access to the iiHub as well as Forestweb's iiReport and iiPublisher solutions.

J.D. Irving: An early adopter of Forestweb in 2002, J.D. Irving's senior managers recognized the value of intelligence and by 2003 had put in place a corporate-wide license to Forestweb's weekly news report. Today senior and department managers access Forestweb's premier intelligence through the iiHub.

Kruger: "I use Forestweb religiously. It is the most helpful tool in the industry," said one of Kruger's senior managers. Kruger has always recognized the value of intelligence and became one of Forestweb's early clients in 2000. Today Kruger's entire senior management team is aligned through Forestweb's industry intelligence hub -- iiHub.

MeadWestvaco: As early as 2002, MeadWestvaco's had a small group license to Forestweb iiHub for sales and marketing managers in the paper group. Today Forestweb services are used by the forestry and packaging. Plus there is a corporate iiFeed. The growth of MeadWestvaco's service mirrors that of so many of Forestweb clients -- small group license becomes larger group license spread internally through word-of-mouth recommendations.

NewPage: The CEO of NewPage, largest coated paper manufacturer in North America, has long recognized the value of providing managers with full access to market information. In 2005, NewPage expanded from a single Reel Time Report subscription to a corporate license. In 2006, NewPage deployed iiHub service for all its senior managers. Once the senior managers recognized the ROI from their access to centralized information, they expanded Forestweb service to an open license for their 8,000-plus employees.

Potlatch: A relative newcomer to Forestweb, Potlatch first signed to the service in late 2005. Today Potlatch managers and division leaders use Forestweb in different ways to meet specific information needs. Across the company managers rely on Forestweb for financial, OSB capacity, timberland transaction, and wood data centers to augment the robust integrated forest product news and analysis they get from the iiHub service.

Tembec: Like most Forestweb clients, Tembec "evaluated" Forestweb with a limited service for a few managers and senior analysts in early 2003. As the initial group used the service and recognized the value, more individuals and additional solutions were added. Today Tembec managers use the iiHub and in-depth data centers for news and information access. An iiFeed available to all 8,000 Tembec employees insures that every member of the Tembec team has information access. Sales and marketing use specialized and targeted value-added iiPublisher messages to reach their clients.
