'At Fabasoft we have modernized our controlling departement and processes within a few short weeks and made it ready for the future. The success factors and lessons learned from such a transformation project are diverse, and we would like to share our experience with a larger controlling community. ' Dado Mekic, Acting Head of Finance at Fabasoft
My passion for controlling has accompanied me for more than 15 years. Much has changed in the world during this time. You have to constantly adapt yourself and your way of life in order to keep up. This is no different for the professional world either. From my point of view, modern controlling therefore requires “state-of-the-art” processes and systems in order to be able to make a value-adding contribution to the respective company.We at Villeroy & Boch are constantly trying to evolve further, so I look forward to an exchange with you and look forward to having interesting discussions.
