Success Story: B.A.U.M. e.V.
The B.A.U.M. e.V. network faced significant challenges: It lacked a clear strategy for digitizing processes and a system coordinator to integrate the various trades. In addition, the existing CRM solution was not compatible with the newly created Digital B.A.U.M. platform, and there were no certified standard interfaces. What was needed was a future-proof solution that could be used without intensive IT knowledge. That is why abat offered the SAP Sales Cloud as a SaaS solution.
