Avon Products plants to cut 650 jobs, as part of its plan to cut $400 million in costs.

The company also had a server transformation project underway, to revamp its order managemnet technology, but will halt its rollout.

The company said it expects to realize annualized savings of about $40 million-$45 million before taxes from the job cuts. Avon shares were down 4 percent at $17.05 on the New York Stock Exchange in morning trade.
