Greetings from our CEO Brian Thomsen  

2021.15.08: What an amazing roadtrip!! 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇦🇹

A couple of weeks back I was on a business roadtrip through Germany, Austria and Switzerland to visit Astrocytia customers and my network. It was so great and refreshing to be on the road again, and meet customers face to face, and be able to brainstorm on strategy, projects and new innovative ideas. Unfortunately, this time it was not possible to visit all, and there were still some restrictions around Covid 19, that made the planning and visits difficult.

Therefore I will now go on a weeks roadtrip to Germany, Austria and Switzerland the next 3 months in mid September, October and November, to meet with companies that would like to talk about master data management as the new neural network, and how we can innovate and scale the business through MDM.

Let me know if you want to meet for a coffee ☕️, and set new innovative standards for MDM 🚀, and be part of my next roadtrip 🚙! Feel free to send an email on brth@astrocytia.com – and hope to see you soon!

Auf Wiedersehen und Biß bald! 😃

MDM as the New Neural Network

2021.24.03: New film 

I see Master Data as the new Neural Network! 🧠 🧠 🧠 🧠 Master Data has to be ingrained in all processes, departments and people - and utilised the right way, it can create a central intelligence and learning network of knowledge and data. 🧠 When working with even large organisations, people really understand the mindset and importance of working together across silos. This is the REAL neural network where organisations, suppliers and customers are working together - resulting in better processes, more transparency and more commercial outcome.

In case you want to see the 15 minute video we recorded for the ThinkLinkers event - march 24 2021 - please send Brian an email on 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 brth@astrocytia.com 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻 - and he will send a personal link for you. Stay connected!

Manufacturing

5-15% faster throughput and fewer mistakes

2021.12.01: Best Practice from Astrocytia 

As a manufacturer you are often very far away from your end customer. Managing customer expectations, their use-cases and market trends rarely flows back into the organization - making continuous product development hard – and as a manufacturer you sometimes rely on gut feeling and personal input rather than data and facts. Astrocytia helps streamline the processes throughout the organization resulting in faster throughput and fewer mistakes.
