CTG Wins TechX NY 2004 Outsourcing Award

BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov. 22, 2004 -- CTG , an international information technology (IT) solutions and staffing company, was named "Best Outsourcing Solution" winner at TechX New York 2004, a multinational trade show held last month in New York City. The TechX "Best of Show" awards recognize the most innovative personal technology and corporate IT products, solutions, and programs at the event.

CTG was one of 17 competitors who submitted case studies of outsourcing solutions to a panel of judges that included editors and journalists from leading information technology and business publications. The CTG entry showcased its longstanding engagement with Texas-based Lone Star Steel Company, a world-leading manufacturer and distributor of quality tubular products for energy, industrial, and automotive applications. The case study described major projects CTG has completed for Lone Star, including implementation of specialized manufacturing software and installation of an innovative wireless communication network. The software implementation concluded a three-year collaboration in which CTG specialists worked closely with Lone Star Steel business experts to tailor the applications to Lone Star's business processes and integrate the various phases of its production lines.

"During the 10 years that CTG has been Lone Star's IT provider, the company has transformed itself," said Curt Montgomery, CTG Director of Outsourcing Solutions. "As Lone Star's partner, CTG helped it through its business transformation by supporting its information technology infrastructure, applications, and staff; aligning these components with Lone Star's business needs; and ensuring that Lone Star achieved its goals. We worked very closely with the business to provide the right support and the right resources to leverage IT as a business enabler."
