We worked closely with kwh group during the project implementation and supported the whole process so that “one version of the truth” was established. One of the key benefits for kwh group is the global utilization. Automated processes and a significant upgrade to the technology of the outdated legacy systems has brought kwh group a better understanding of their consolidation process.
