From Germany to the rest of the world - the success story of Krones AG shows how SAP Business One connects across national borders. Rollouts in Poland, Argentina and Indonesia now connect the subsidiaries directly with the headquarters in Neutraubling. Versino supported the company as a consulting partner.
