Michael Vasa Skånstrøm, CIO and Vice President in the pharmaceutical company, H. Lundbeck A/S:

“At Lundbeck we have made use of target management and performance follow-up for several years, also in relation to IT, and we have therefore also carried out IT Optima’s benchmarking analyses, both on general IT and the SAP area."

"In connection with this ongoing optimization process, we have just carried out an analysis and a benchmark with a special focus on identifying and measuring a number of important cost drivers on the IT area".

"We have used the results from our financial analysis as motivation in our budgeting and for process (LEAN) work. There is a very close agreement between the areas where the IT Optima analysis showed that we use more resources than benchmark, and the processes where we have identified a considerable waste. This gives our managers and employees a belief that we can save money without reducing the quality of our services (=streamlining).”
