Swedish Match chooses Acando for ERP implementation and roll-out

Acando wins an order for licenses and implementation of Microsoft’s ERP system Dynamics AX with the vertical solution for Process Industries. The solution also includes integration to external partners and legacy systems via Microsoft BizTalk Server.

Swedish Match develops, manufactures and sells market-leading brands in smokefree products, cigars and lights products. The Group sells products across the globe, with production units in 10 countries. One important part of Swedish Match strategic agenda is to take further steps to strengthen its position as a leading smokefree tobacco company, including a modernization and integration of ERP systems. Acando has worked in close cooperation with Swedish Match on this initiative since October 2009. The requirements have been collated in workshops and the solution has been specified and is now ready to be implemented for Sweden and Norway in the first release. “I am very proud that Swedish Match has chosen Acando as their consulting partner for this initiative”, says Carl Magnus Månsson, Managing Director and CEO of the Acando Group.
