Two smiling middle-aged women, one blonde and one with dark hair, against a dark background. Between them is the CoreShift by collana logo and the text ‘ERP’ on an open heart.

In this episode, Nicole Wehner talks to Betty Blömer, Director of IT Business Operations at Lampenwelt, about the exciting and often nerve-wracking journey of implementing an ERP system.
