Industry: Finance Objective: The summer of 2003 found Sherman Financial Group in an expansion mode. Their office had a patch-work look to it from years of adding office furniture without a cohesive look and feel. With the expansion, they wanted to upgrade the overall look and image of the office. Project: 36 workstations, nine semi-private managers stations, a boardroom, conference rooms, a break room and lobby. Products: Xsite, Traxx and Tile, Kimball Office presentation products, and Kimball Office tables. National and Chromecraft chairs were covered in the same fabric allowing each employee to select a chair that worked best for them. Why the furniture worked: At the outset, Sherman planned to update their office by wrapping new panels around their existing desks. Early in the project, OstermanCron demonstrated the flexibility of Kimball Office's new Xsite system and its panels that can be expanded in 3" increments - a feature unique to Xsite. Ultimately, Sherman was able to install all new furniture because OstermanCron presented an attractive package that was affordable and gave them the look and functionality they wanted. The ergonomic advantages of the new desktops with thermofoil sloped worksurfaces provided relief for Sherman's employees who have computer-intense jobs. Sherman was also attracted to the clean, monolithic walls created by the Xsite system, versus the more traditional "cubey" look found in many corporate environments. Why OstermanCron? In a competitive bid against a Steelcase dealer, Sherman opted for the attractive, contemporary look of the Xsite system and the competitive pricing OstermanCron was able to offer. Services: Sherman Financial Group was the first Xsite installation in Cincinnati and was successfully handled by OstermanCron's installation partner - Wessels Workplace Services.
