updates

When Invokers joined the Trifork family in 2018, it was with the shared vision to take Invokers' unique SAP offering within enterprise solutions from local to global - and the past two years have proven the viability and strengt of this partnership while handling increasingly more business critical applications. 

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Invokers is changing its name to Trifork Smart Enterprise. With this name change, we are integrating our SAP capabilities fully with the Trifork brand.

A CLASSIC TALE
The Invokers journey started in a Copenhagen basement 14 years ago. With splendid technical solutions to complex digital challenges, Invokers have managed to carve out a prominent market position in the SAP playing field. From the basement, Invokers has matured into a preferred digitalization partner to large, Danish companies, and this has not gone unnoticed by giants like Apple and SAP.

TRIFORK SMART ENTERPRISE
Since 2018, we have worked closely with Trifork to solidify our unique market position in the Smart Enterprise business area. We help large organizations drive their digitalization in core processes, deliver performance improvements and improve employee satisfaction through great user experience.

As Trifork Smart Enterprise, we cover the entire process from design, to development, to implementation and to operations, delivering a strong value proposition in the full life cycle to its customer by leveraging the SAP Cloud Platform in combination with the Trifork Group services, to deliver and support the digitalized enterprise.

INTERNATIONAL SCOPE
With this name change, we will be able to operate more seamlessly in international markets where Trifork is a household brand name, and thereby extending the reach of our digital transformation services in the SAP sphere.

BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
Our name change has no practical impact on our relationship with existing customers. Contracts will remain unchanged, our CVR number stays the same, and the core team members allocated to your projects will not change as a result of our brand transition.

We truly value our strong and mutually beneficial customer relationships that typically last for many years, and we hope that this transition will be well received by all of you.

All the best,
Kevin Hagemann Petersen
CEO of Trifork Smart Enterprise Nordics, formerly known as Invokers

Save the date. Savour the insights.

On October 6, we would love to invite you for a tech run down and best practices within enterprise mobility as we welcome Nima Zandi, Apple Enterprise Denmark and Lars Bo Hassinggaard, Royal Greenland for a Trifork Virtual Tech Update for Business hosted by Martin Holm Nielsen, founding partner at Invokers.

Please join us if you are interested in empowering your work force through enterprise mobility to create a true competitive advantage. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dU7a7qY

Why do we offer our employees digital solutions that are anything less than perfect? Lagging and lacking user experiences will convert enterprise users to non-users in the blink of an eye.

Martin Holm Nielsen is challenging companies to make enterprise users front and center when developing digital solutions for internal use. If we develop value-adding and lovable solutions for everyday tasks, user adoption skyrockets and ROI is just around the corner.

Read the full opinion piece from Sep 16 in Finans - in Danish.

Hardware. Software. Service. 3-in-1. It's a Kinder Surprise for the enterprise.

Invokers have partnered with Atea Danmark and Apple to bring SAP into the hands of your employees. With our enterprise mobility solutions, you can reap the full logistics potential of your SAP system.

We will tell you all about it, if you ask us to. All.

With Vestas and Apple, Invokers have created the perfect argument in favor of enterprise mobility, and it is newsworthy. 40 IT-systems condensed into 4 user friendly apps, ROI in 6 months and annual savings in the amount of 400.000 hours. Every year. 

How, you ask?

We start by figuring out what problem we are solving for whom. This user-centric approach to developing business critical apps makes it possible for us to create solutions that add value to the end user - securing extremely high adoption and thereby SAP-based process optimization. This is what we mean by “business value through user experience”.

400.000 hours saved globally every year. We apologize for jumping straight to the conclusion of Invokers’ latest project, OneFieldService for Vestas.

When digital pioneers like Vestas entrust us with the task of mobilizing their employees, we start by making their users front and center of the process.We need to know what problem we are solving. And for whom.

In return, we deliver solutions that are clever, intuitive and lovable. In Vestas’ case, four native iOS apps have put real time SAP and other related data straight into the hands of their 10.000 global field service technicians servicing around 80.000 turbines all over the world. Documentation. Time registration. Task management. Swipe, tap, tap. Done.

Enterprise mobility is where you find today’s competitive edge. As you enhance the quality of your data input, you improve your ability to make the right business decisions. At the right time. For Vestas, the empowering of field service technicians through intuitive and intelligent mobile solutions delivered ROI within 6 months.

6 months. It’s fairly convincing. Convincing enough for Apple to turn the business case into a success story on apple.com

When the moon and stars align, people like Nursel Yildirim materialize - a razor sharp design thinker with an impressive track record of developing outstanding user centric digital solutions.

Luckily, Nursel has decided to join Invokers to create great digital experiences for enterprise users. She will be spearheading our Digital Design & Delivery team, and we can't wait to get the ball rolling. 

Selfie renaissance! Proudly introducing Andy Vidkjær and Sebastian Rask Jepsen, joining the team of Invokers while working from home. 

We have had the pleasure of working with Sebastian for years, and we are thrilled to make him an official part of our mobility specialist team. Andy has been going full stack forever, and he is an experienced addition to the Invokers team.

"I'll get back to you as soon as we return to work” is not a sustainable approach to the current, global situation. Now is the time for business leaders to strengthen company performance to keep the business going during and after the COVID-19 crisis.

Ten days ago, Invokers implemented a series of initiatives to support our colleagues and our business in the best possible way to continue delivering solutions and support to our customers - making our customers more agile, mobile and able to work remotely.
The results of our new initiatives are positive. We are currently maintaining our usual sprint velocity of 95-105% - in other words, we are performing at an unchanged level while working virtually together.
Right now, we are testing out new tools to develop an online version of our Effective Design Thinking workshops. We are very happy to see our customers embrace our new setup and work together with us to stay operational.

Stay safe, be well.

Kevin Hagemann Petersen, CEO of Invokers

Last week, Invokers' 3 locations turned into 50. As we build and support business critical solutions for our customers, we are keeping the wheels in motion from home for now - doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19. Even while we are far apart, we are in this together.

Marc Huguet Blasi is his name. iOS is his game. And this is among the many reasons we are happy to welcome him to the Invokers Mobility team. We can't wait to see how he turns enterprise software into consumer grade experiences.

This week, we are at QCon in London. A panel discussion on microservices had us reflecting on whether they are worth the operational burden they incur. If microservices truly are the answer to your problem, you proactively need to address the associated fragmentation of your technology stack and muddled service ownership in your organization.

Champagne: Chilled. Cake: Awesome. Company: Spectacular. Our SAP AppHaus Network launch last week was a success by design, celebrating becoming part of a global network of likeminded design thinkers. Visit our LinkedIn page for a short video from the event. 

Today, Invokers celebrate our new partnership with SAP AppHaus Network. It is such an honor to be part of a world wide web of likeminded companies that guide customers to leverage SAP technologies and a human-centered innovation approach to solve business challenges and create measurable value.

Allow us to introduce Christian Thorwest. As of Feb 1, Christian is using his iOS expertise to develop the most magnificent things for screens of all sizes here at Invokers. We are very excited to welcome another talented member to our team!

The presence of a conspicuously cute dog at SAP TechEd should not blur the importance of the following announcement: As of today, Mikael Gurenius is taking the lead as Invokers' new CTO, scouting out the latest technologies and ensuring that the highest level of know-how is embedded in the digital solutions we deliver.

Throughout his 7 years with Invokers, Mikael has proved to be a strong analytical thinker with a wonderfully creative twist, and we are very much looking forward to follow his lead on technological development.

On a related note, our former CTO Rune Durhuus-Andersen has stepped down to devote his time and love to an Invokers/Trifork spin-off: Arkyn Studios. Alongside Thomas Juel Andersen and Morten Toxværd , Rune will create simple, lovable productivity Off-the-Shelf apps to augment the ERP systems of the 2020’s.

Design Thinker Thomas Ove Rasmussen from Invokers sheds light on how to navigate the mine field that unfolds when digging into digital transformation projects. It's a great read, find it here.

Say hi to Cecilie Caroline Falch. She has gracefully accepted our offer to join our Design Thinking power house as a student assistant while she works on her master's degree in "Digital Innovation & Management" at ITU Copenhagen.

In November 2019, we decided to shut down operations for 3 full days to explore techniques to strengthen our mental resilience. One of the more tangible results of this seminar is our daily tabata routine. Coupled with individual meditations and team exercises, we are starting to feel the effect. Thank you, Center for Mental Robusthed and Velliv Foreningen for helping us making this happen.

The 00's brought us Web 2.0. The 10's added The Cloud to our vocabulary. Invokers are kicking off the 20's by introducing Smart Enterprise, a transformative take on how to increase business value through user-centric digital solutions and thus setting the scene for digital transformation perfected.

Wicked problems may seem unsurmountable at first. A team of Invokers is currently in Switzerland, working with a customer to explore new and innovative ways of defining and approaching challenges ahead - a first step in building smarter digital solutions. Oh and never missing an opportunity to turn work into art, our Michael Thøgersen is the gifted photographer documenting the solution to another wicked problem: Mountain infrastructure.

We are proud to announce that the Trifork Group has acquired a majority stake in SAPBASIS, a well renowned Danish SAP consulting and operations company. 

SAPBASIS has long proven their superiority in the handling of HANA transformation and Cloud integration, and at Invokers we have had the pleasure of working with them on several occasions and thereby experience their ability to secure smooth and stable SAP operations firsthand. Read more.

With Effective Design Thinking, we test our prototypes to learn even more about the end-users and their needs. This time, our iterative approach led us to Greenland. Not bad for the Christmas spirit. Not bad at all.

And just like that, Invokers added a substantial amount of IQ points to our company. They come in the shape of Jose Costa Pinto and Joan Molinas Ramon, and we couldn't be happier to welcome this power pack to the team.

Mental fitness is absolutely key when facilitating transforming processes that challenge the staus quo for our customers here at Invokers. Thomas Ove Rasmussen has shared an article on the subject here.

Another milestone to be celebrated at Invokers. Amid an ambitious growth plan and company integration with Trifork Group, our employees have bestowed us with the honour of winning silver in Great Place to Work Denmark survey, ranking us as the 2nd best small IT employer in Denmark. Furthermore, we are thrilled to achieve a whopping 4th place among small companies across sectors in Denmark. Thank you, members of the Invokers team!

Winds of international change are blowing in Invokers. We are thrilled to announce that Invokers are becoming fully integrated with the Trifork Group as a result of Trifork’s acquisition of the remaining 49% of our share capital yesterday. 

The foundation of our strong partnership was laid in 2018, when the Trifork Group acquired 51% of the Invokers company, as they acknowledged our ability to deliver innovative and user-friendly Enterprise software solutions based on SAP. Read more.

This Greek South African in Spain speaks SAP fluently, and we are happy to announce that he has made Invokers his new place of work! Gregory Doukas brings the international 'I' to Invokers, and we are looking forward to working with him.

Invokers is pretty darn excited to welcome another specialist to our team: Carsten Overgaard Jensen, who brings 12+ years of experience with SAP processes within service and maintenance and a passion for food to the table. A flavourful combo!

Anne Kathrine Petterøe, our die-hard SAP enthusiast and SAP Mentor, presenting "On Prem to Cloud Portal" at the Danish User Group: SAP Cloud Platform meeting at NNIT yesterday. Interested in joining the user group? Reach out to Anna Richardt Hansen from SAP. 

We caught another Gazelle! For the second consecutive year, Invokers is awarded a Børsen Gazelle, celebrating the fact that we are in the midst of a remarkable growth spurt. And we are pretty close to bursting with pride.

Since 2006, we have been striving to create business value for our customers through simple, high-performing mobile and web solutions with a special focus on the end-user. 

And our recipe for success seems to be working, based on our latest addition of the antelope species: First you take a group of customers who acknowledge the value of digital innovation and transformation anchored in the needs and ideas of the end-user. Then you add a dedicated and madly skilled group of Invokers that insists on creating cutting-edge yet simple digital solutions to optimize processes and workflows. The result is smarter, cost-reducing solutions that are easy to implement and use. Voila!

A warm welcome to Emilie Sigrid Sørensen who is joining our administrative team. We are thrilled to be around someone with impressive execution edge and a never-ending patience with IKEA furniture. Welcome to Invokers!

Thomas Ove Rasmussen giving the guest lecture of a lifetime at yesterday's SAP Next-Gen event, entertaining 40 students from Københavns Universitet, IT-Universitetet and Copenhagen Business School. Never before has Design Thinking been this rock & roll.

Watch Invokers’ Anne Kathrine Petterøe as she goes slightly off topic at TechEd Barcelona to address an important issue: Why are women underrepresented in the SAP community? Malin Liden from SAP is interviewing Anne Kathine Petterøe at the TechEd Live Studio.

We are happy to add another brilliant profile to our team. Not only is Rasmus Bjerring Pedersen a rather spiffy Business Application Designer, he is also a gin enthusiast. A perfect fit for Invokers.

Absorbing the latest SAP trends and developments at this year's SAP TechEd in Las Vegas. Transforming business data into business value? That about sums up what we do at Invokers.

Design Matters 19 gave us something to think about at Invokers. A shift from User Centered Design to Life Centered Design creates a new approach to design. Leaving your ego behind in the design process makes room for designing with a greater purpose.

September marks the beginning of a beautiful relationship between Jacob Bøgh Pedersen, Jens Gram and Invokers. Jens is joining our Core Development team in Aarhus, drawing on years of experience as a team lead and developer. Jacob has spent the last decade working with SAP, and he will continue working wonders with ABAP as he joins our SAP Technologies team. A warm welcome to our team!

The results are in! Invokers is once again a certified Great Place to Work® Danmark. 95% of our employees feel that “Taking everything into account, Invokers is a great place to work”. We have been expanding like there is no tomorrow during the past year – new faces, new location, new customers and as a new part of the Trifork family. So many changes in such a short time can prove to be challenging - which gives us even more reason to celebrate an outstanding score of 95%. 

We couldn’t possibly be prouder of our madly competent coworkers who are showing Invokers a bucketload of trust. With your vote of confidence and your non-replicable skillsets, we will continue our joint, strategic endeavours towards… world domination.

Creative confidence is one of the key ingredients of effective digital transformation. Yesterday, Thomas Ove Rasmussen from Invokers walked us through this simple piece of math: Design Thinking + Lean + Agile = Successful projects and design-led transformation. Another fun GOTO Night hosted by Trifork.

Say hello to Simon Lauridsen, our latest addition to the Invokers family. With more than 7 years of experience developing iOS applications, he is bringing his A game to our office in Aarhus.

Shout out to Thorsten Georgi and SAP for giving us even more reason to build mobile apps using SAP/Apple devkits!

The pace is high at Invokers. Our days are unpredictable, and deadlines are never far away. This creates a fun and dynamic vibe – but also a need for tools to dismantle stressful situations. Thank you Velliv Foreningen for selecting us from among many other applicants - we are thrilled that you will support our efforts to establish a structured way of dealing with stress for all employees at Invokers. An important step in our quest for the best possible work/life balance, facilitated by Center for Mental Robusthed.

As we are getting ready to open the doors to our new office in Barcelona, Spain, we have the pleasure of introducing our new Business Unit Manager, Asier Vega Sanchez. He is joining the invokers team to ensure a highly satisfactory end-to-end life cycle of the solutions delivered to our customers from Barcelona. A warm welcome to Asier!

invokers have made it easy for our customers to estimate how much they will be spending on maintaining and developing their digital solutions by introducing our new product, Enterprise Application Lifecycle Management.

Part of the services provided will be delivered by dedicated invokers working from our new location in Barcelona, Spain. In addition to delicious tapas, great architecture and thirst clenching wine, Barcelona offers some of the finest SAP specialists, and we are looking forward to adding the best of those to our team of invokers in Spain.

Stay tuned, as we will be listing open positions in Barcelona within a few weeks. Our new office location will be announced in August. 

Yesterday, the brilliant Thomas Ove Rasmussen from invokers took us through the the key principles of Design Thinking at the monthly GOTO night hosted by Trifork. Thomas explained how the methodologies of Design Thinking, Lean and Agile fit together in practice and how they can be used to tackle strategic pain points. Thank you Thomas!

Exciting news from us, Apple and SAP: Apple and SAP have curated “Fast Start” packages and we are proud to be one of the selected partners. With our Fast Start package, Mobile Inspection Forms, we can help businesses in industries as e.g. manufacturing, utilities and oil & gas drive digitalization in asset inspection. Through end-2-end authoring, publishing and form management as well as enablement of powerful data capture capabilities on iPads, integrated directly into SAP we can create the future of asset inspections. Read more about Mobile Inspection Forms here.

Welcome! We are happy to have you onboard!


Once again, we decided to to make a donation rather than giving our customers and network a Christmas gift. We also asked them what they wanted the donation to go towards, and in collaboration with CARE, we gave them the opportunity of donating towards either hashtag#NoPoverty, hashtag#ZeroHunger and hashtag#ClimateAction - 3 of UN’s 17 SDG’s.

What better way to start off a new year than by welcoming a new team member? Today Anne Kathrine joined us, more specifically our SAP Technologies team in Copenhagen. 

Meet Lasse. 

Lasse joined the invokers family in May 2018 and is one of the guys who develops iOS based on SAP's Fiori SDK for our customers. He is especially an expert in finding elegant solutions to complex problems.

Today we welcomed Nicklas. This week he is a UX Design intern at our office in Copenhagen. Nicklas is 16 years old and is in 10th grade at Bornholm. During the week he will be working with one of his own app ideas together with our UX Designer Jannike and present the result to us all on Friday. We look forward to it!

Two new faces at invokers. Sujeevan has joined our Copenhagen office and Ricki has joined our office in Aarhus. They are both a part of our Mobility Team and will be working with development of native iOS apps.

Great event, amazing people and powerful innovation.

SAP’s approach to digital businessdevelopment is continuously changing, improving and starting to focus more on custom development. With their new development paradigms, specially designed tools, etc., SAP encourages customers to develop their own unique, innovative solutions and the technology is now so mature that it provides the best prerequisites for creating differentiating solutions - All in all, SAP’s approaches are starting to match invokers' mindset and approach to innovation more and more and we look forward to trying out the new tools.

Another milestone in the history of the invokers-family has been reached

We are proud to announce that we have been named "Børsen Gazelle 2018" due to our rapid growth during the past 4 years.

After doing field research in both Singapore, Malaysia and Miami, we have now successfully held both Problem Space & Solution Space of Effective Design Thinking by invokers at our office in Aarhus. Now looking forward to delivering the final results!

We believe that in order to create the perfect digital solution, you need to know the end users and their reality. Therefore, we always conduct thorough field research. Consequently, we have visited clients all over the world and met numerous inspiring people. In our interactions with staff, it often becomes clear that there is a discrepancy between official and actual work processes. - Addressing these discrepancies is key to ensuring the success of any new solution or to successfully optimize an existing one.

A quick snapshot from a great Solution Space Workshop at our Design Thinking Studio in Aarhus yesterday! A big thanks to all participants from Vestas for the impressive inputs and engagement!

To increase the chances of more people having a happy New Year, we decided to make a donation rather than giving our customers and network a Christmas gift. We also asked them what they wanted the donation to go towards. In collaboration with CARE Danmark, we provided them the opportunity of donating towards a choice between three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: No Poverty, Zero Hunger and Climate Action. On the picture, you see the result.

We thank you for choosing where the donation will go, and we are happy and excited to be able to contribute towards sustainable development!

So, Christmas and December is always magical but this year, our month got an extra boost, when we welcomed David Kargo, Maria Daniela Radulescu and Jannike Mogensen to the invokers family!

Merry Christmas everyone! - And thank you for an extraordinary 2017!
We look forward to an exciting 2018!

Lau and Asier- the strongest team in the game - presenting at #SAPTechEd in Barcelona!

#itmeanstheworldtous

SAPTechEd in Barcelona is coming up and we have a recommendation for you if you’re into Apple and SAP: 

Lau Lautrup from invokers is teaming up with Asier Vega Sanchez from Vestas to do a presentation about the AppleSDK & SAPCloudPlatform collaboration and the OnePlan solution we developed with Vestas.

Site Planner is the Site Manager's tool for the agile microplanning that is required in the work with variable elements and resources. In addition, the tool is a conversion from traditional paper processes to digitization, which ensures optimized planning of Vestas' sites, thus reducing waste of valuable resources. Read the case here

Remember that Design Thinking is a mindset, you must be open to possibilities. It brings a different perspective to what we do every day and goes beyond systems and processes. Remember to focus on People.

Thank you, Mikael!

Last friday - September 1st - was a very special day in the long continuity, that is our life at invokers. First, we are welcoming 4 new colleagues and second, we had a hell of a time throwing a housewarming for our awesome new Aarhus office!

After 11 years in Copenhagen, we have opened office in Aarhus.

So of course we would like to celebrate our entry into the Jutland capital, with a glass of bubbles, together with our customers, partners and friends.

That SAP and Apple have started strategic cooperation is hardly news to anyone who work with SAP daily. But what does it mean when the world's most advanced ERP system becomes available on the world's most intuitive platform?

We would like to highlight this in an exclusive "roundtable" at invokers' Design Thinking Studio in Copenhagen. Together with Apple, we will show the perspective of offering the company's users user interfaces of the same quality as we expect as private consumers. Combining native apps for iPhone and iPad with the capabilities of the SAP Cloud Platform, we share insights on how to streamline the SAP workforce. Both internally and externally.

This iconic address is in many ways at the epicenter of the great waves of digitalization that has swept across every part of civilized life for the past decade. While being firmly rooted in consumer space, Apple has recently made great strides into bringing equally high end-user experience capabilities to enterprises. Among these endeavours, is the great SAP/Apple partnership, which is the story behind this picture: The awesome invokers design team primed and ready for co-innovation and collaboration, on-site at the Apple Enterprise Design Lab in Cupertino (!) 

So theres that....

Quote Martin Schirmer: "SAP Cloud Platform has become the designated extension and integration platform for SAP’s entire portfolio"

Luckily, SAP Nordic has partners in place, who have recognized and embraced this fact for some time ;-)

Also a great many thanks to everyone who came to our stand and had the patience to listen to us babble on about, what we ourselves think of, as a superbly great SAP technology scenario. 

In case you missed it, we will be very happy to give private tours of the setup.
It is a complete, end-to-end scenario, including data from on-premise SAP ERP, many aspects of the awesome SAP Cloud Platform, Internet-of-Things, HANA, the new Apple SDK, predictive analytics, Augmented Reality and two ultra-cool LEGO wind-turbines as the center pieces.

In two days, the new Apple SDK for SAP Cloud Platform is released for General Availability. 

Having been active participants in early adopter programs, our sublimely brilliant colleagues already have extensive experience with the ins and outs of the development kit.

Therefore, we can already from day 1 offer our clients advice and assistance in bringing consumer-grade apps to business users, using this great new piece of technology.

Interested participants at SAP Innovation Forum 2017 in Copenhagen, will also be able to get a live demo of how this fits into an amazing end-to-end scenario! Be sure to stop by our stand and have a peek :-)

At invokers we clearly notice an increasing interest for IoT among our customers. Some customers are far ahead, while others have just begun. But they all share the great interest in the new possibilities with the combination of IoT, Big data, A.I. and A.R.

Super good recitals from our amazing colleague Michael Svith Thøgersen!

At invokers we appreciate the fact that real value-creating solutions are products of the preciously delicate balancing of Feasibility, Viability and Desirability. 

With that in mind (and also considering that we always like to learn something new :-)) we recently had a little stint into the artistic side of things, in the form of a drawing/sketching workshop, courtesy of https://www.sketch-it.dk/ .

Next up: Perhaps a programming course for our amazing visual designers :-) ?

Being at the vanguard of UX, and bringing consumer-grade experiences to enterprise users requires a lot more than slideware and buzzword . It requires skill, experience and passion. Luckily, all our invokers colleagues possesses these qualities in excess ;-) Exemplified here by Lars Raunkjær Arnbak and Chris Buch on stage, giving talk on Angular2 and Electron from real world experiences, implementing a super successful customer project. Guys, we are so proud of you!

And so our very own Thomas Ove Rasmussen was thrust upon the stage, among peer masters of technology and innovation :-) 

Congratulations Asier Vega and Thomas Ove Rasmussen on a successful presentation, congratulations Vestas on the great digital vision and prowess, and congratulations SAP and Apple on delivering this great technology for us all to innovate with.

Are you going to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona?

And would you like to know more about what benefits the new collaboration between SAP and Apple gives you when creating new innovative digital solutions?

Then visit SAP & Apple's stand Wednesday at 1pm and hear how Vestas has planned to utilize the new iOS SDK to build future tools for their skilled people in the field.

"Imagine if we designed our offices for the employees the same way as we buy and design IT systems. This way, all the restrooms would be located at the ground floor at one end of the building, because it gives the shortest piping - and then never mind about all the trouble for the employees

Not to mention all the otherwise productive working hours that would be wasted from running around the building..."

Super interesting views from our very own Thomas Ove Rasmussen! Read the blog post here

It's not a secret that invokers are leading within the field of UX, Design Thinking and Mobile Solutions for SAP ... But we're also already working on the new HCP SDK for iOS to develop exciting solutions with close integration to HCPms and SAP.

SAP invites to HR New Year's Seminar! And we have been invited to tell a little about why the user experience for internal applications - including HR solutions - is equally important for the company's results, as the customer experience is on external systems and solutions.
