“The challenge that we were up against wasconverting from a single-function to a multi-function staff. We needed to do it in an 18- month time period.

We looked at various approaches, and what we built is a very sophisticated, customized help system that employees can use on the job.”
Within its first year of use, the system will provide CSAA with “at minimum a 300% return on investment.”
