2009 Customer Service Consolidation


In 2009, we began the consolidation of certain customer service facilities in North America and Europe to streamline our operations and deliver better and more efficient customer support to our users. The consolidation impacted approximately 1,000 employees. We have completed this consolidation and have incurred aggregate costs of approximately $47.2 million, primarily related to employee severance and benefits.
