The point of view of the company director:

Ariel Weil, General Manager of DynaSys, confides: « Following the replacement of the general management in September 2006, I’ve announced objectives for 2007, which have all been reached.

We have reorganized and reinforced our sales force so that our commercial ambitions are equal to our leading-edge technology and our business expertise. We settle a distribution network and we lean on the expertise of famous partners, consulting or integrating companies. We have kept our technological advance and integrated the functional evolutions required by the market. Today we are ready to turn to SOA architecture.

In addition, we have optimised our relationships with our customers. For example, we have recently signed a framework contract with Ipsen, a DynaSys client since 2004, who so renews its trust. With the many new signatures, we confirm our leadership on the 3 leading sectors, which are Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals/Chemicals and Retail. At last, we extend our presence in Europe through, on the one hand, targeted Supply Chain events, on the other hand, through the distribution network of our partner Preactor. »

The DynaSys 2008 objectives:

Continue on a growth close to 20% while keeping an important operational margin and an investment around 20% in R&D

« After the settlement of our new sales organisation, we are going to reinforce our technical team, and especially the R&D, Quality and Customer Support divisions, so we’ll be able to optimise the functionalities of our different products and to assure a high quality customer service level, explains Ariel Weil. We plan major evolutions for our modules of Distribution and Procurement, but also on the technological level with the SOA architecture which will be able to reach easily the interoperability and the simplicity searched by users and the finalization of the third generation of the Single Click Collaborative® technology which will enable to accelerate the calculation times and the system reactivity for data-volumes which almost double every year. Supporting this growth and after that the Parisian Agency had moved in new offices, the headquarters will move during 2008. Still based in Schiltigheim, in Alsace, the surface of our new premises (1.5 bigger) will be better adapted to enable us to take up all our challenges and reinforce our position as a global Supply Chain Planning leader. »
