What do the projects have in common?

  • As much standard as possible: at Swissgenetics, Sage X3 covers 80 to 90 per cent of the functions as standard.
  • Step-by-step implementation in sprints, as at Comfone and EHC Biel.
  • Dedicated contacts beyond the project; at ElfenauPark the same person for 25 years.
