Spaceteams understood our complex value chains impressively fast and presented great solutions to our problems. Among other things, they made the complicated data flow of the system landscape understandable, even for non-IT experts. The challenge of developing a new tool in record time was of course a demanding effort, but working with Spaceteams was great fun. 

The human factor in particular was great - we felt understood at all times and were given the best possible advice and support. The enthusiasm and appreciation created an extremely positive atmosphere and a great result.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

It was really great how quickly Spaceteams grasped the tricky dependencies in our value chain and was then able to present possible solutions for our operational "pain points" in a very short time. And they managed to present the complex data flow of the system landscape so straightforward and visually well, that even all users without IT knowledge understood it immediately. 

The preparation and follow-up of the meetings was also excellent and directly provided us with the decision-making basis for the management. Although the challenge of getting a new tool up and running in record time was undoubtedly a demanding effort, working with Spaceteams on this was a lot of fun. This was largely due to the great human element. 

Not only do we at all times feel understood, but we also receive the best possible advice and support. The enthusiasm and appreciation made for an exceptionally positive atmosphere and a great result.
