have a strong IT footprint and to take advantage of the strong talent pool here
is an important agenda for us.
MBRDI provides us with highly
qualified IT engineers and an already existing infrastructure. This is in line
with our global IT-strategy to further expand our IT-department into a
worldwide organization with strong international teams, which represent a striking
variety of skills, know-how and foreign cultures. We are excited about the new
facility which translates into growth for our existing IT-domains, such as a
‘Shared Service Center’ for SAP applications, as well as developments for
mobility services, computer simulations and augmented reality.”

ensures that there is excellent functional collaboration and therefore shorter
development cycles. We are excited about our growth and what we offer here at
MBRDI.”
