CMTC Spotlight
Riedon, Inc. has been a vertically integrated, global leader in the design and manufacture of precision and power resistors since 1960. Utilizing the latest in wire wound, thin and thick film, and foil technologies, Riedon offers one of the broadest product ranges in the resistor industry. As Riedon’s business expanded, their software system's limitations prevented the company from moving forward against the competition. To help Riedon address their long-term business system needs, CMTC provided resources and expertise to perform an enterprise software selection (ERP, MRP, and key modules). CMTC worked with Riedon to identify and qualify vendors and implementers; prepare vendor demos; and vet references—and ultimately provide Riedon’s management team with the tools they needed to evaluate and select viable enterprise systems. As a result, Riedon reports $40,000 in cost savings, $100,000 in capital investments, $100,000 invested in workforce practices, and $70,000 invested in information systems and software in the past 12 months. The company was also able to retain 1 to 2 jobs following the ERP implementation.

Previously, we have discussed some differentially private algorithms and implementation bugs which can cause these algorithms to fail to protect privacy in practice.
