“At bremenports, document management is a key building block of our IT-enabled infrastructure management. It used to be that the immense number of copies made it very difficult to know where the original document needed to be available in the first place. Rather than collecting department-specific data and organizing them by discipline, every document now only exists once in a single location and in electronic form. And you can rest assured that it’s the most current version.”
Dipl.-Ing. Ralf Franz, Head of IT/Organization bremenports “We would have an employee uprising on our hands if we were to take the PDM system away from them again.”
Hans-Jörg Stockburger, General Manager Information Technology IMS:GEAR

The effort of setting up this system has truly paid off: The number of newly created part master records of purchased parts in SAP has been reduced by 35% over the last 3 years.”
