Mazaj has managed few workshops in order to identify the needs, understand the gaps in the current WoW and system solutions.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The most successful part of the project was and is driven by the great mutual understanding between Mazaj and the customer. We expierenced good and fact based discussions, where not everybody was happy about the changes proposed. The most valuable cooperation is when the biggest challenge becomes the great opportunity. This is what Mazaj managed to push through in our company.

They are open-minded; they challenge and question the obvious. Their speed was impressive and their ability to find the solution in any area which requires the change: no matter how difficult and complex it seems from the first sight.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Be better prepared to work with the big companies in terms of beurocracy and time needed to push the project through. Agree the timings upfront, so everybody feels the pressure.
