Gold-Medal Performance: Ski Innovator Increases Its Own Operational Agility With the Right Technology Tools

Overview The Madshus Web site highlights Olympic skiers - sponsored by the company - who have achieved glory on the slopes. It also features articles galore about training for the ski season. Until 2005, Madshus produced approximately 110,000 pairs of skis per year, but it wanted to streamline processes to keep up with rising demand. The CIO knew that Madshus couldn't manually satisfy the demand for more skis. To find a way to handle everything from order entry and delivery planning to material procurement and scheduling, Sundhaugen turned to Microsoft Gold Certified Partner WM-data in June 2006 to help implement a solution based on Microsoft Dynamics AX.
