Jedenfalls setzen wir Eure Software nun in der Cloud und at the Edge
Interessanterweise sprachen mich in den letzten Monaten viele Unternehmen der unterschiedlichsten Branchen an und erzählten mir, dass sie sich eben nicht an den „Leuchtturm“-Beispielen ihrer eigenen Branche messen lassen wollen, sondern am „besten Unternehmen in Bezug auf ein herausragendes Kundenerlebnis“.
