The challenge

Björn Sjölin, IT Manager at Hydac
“Changing systems means you actually take the time to review your routines. We were able to take the opportunity to clean things up. It is also extremely important to speak the same language and understand each other’s terminology. Are, for example, calculated price and cost of goods sold really the same thing?”
