12 ADSOTECH Software Solutions Our value for our customers In today s world customer success is in most cases dependent on efficient information management. ADSOTECH plays an important role helping its customer base to manage information and expand business in a global world. SAP R/3 is a sophisticated ERP application but also very complex. Unfortunately or fortunately for ADSOTECH and many 3 rd party software suppliers- SAP has not developed all functions to perfection. It is here where we come into the picture. Our suppliers have developed solutions that complement missing SAP functions or functions that do not necessarily work in the best interest of how an end-user would like to see it work. Christer Mäkelä, CEO of ADSOTECH is extremely happy about the positive feedback he has received from the customers. Our Winshuttle products help enterprises to implement SAP and roll it out globally. With the help of our solutions dozens of Nordic global organizations have been and are able to roll out SAP and make sure the Go Live projects are executed on time. Our customer base is extremely satisfied with the products and our service. We have not lost a single SAP customer since we started to sell our SAP products. Despite the challenging times in the European and Global economy the turnover of Adsotech has been growing annually over 70 %, which is an evidence of the ROI our solutions rovide to the customers.
