Second place at the Digital Leader Award for the Doxis4® iRoom® for supplier of SER and Eissmann Group Automotive

"The digital transformation of our economy can only progress if there are both courageous founders as well as courageous pioneers in established companies," said Brigitte Zypries, the German Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy and the sponsor of the Digital Leader Initiative 2017. The SER customer Eissmann Group Automotive saw the digital transformation as an opportunity to rethink its own business models and processes. Eissmann believes that excellent and competitive products can only be created by integrating suppliers from the very start into the production processes and by maintaining team-oriented relationships with automotive suppliers in their business ecosystem. Placing second in the category Spark Collaboration was well-deserved recognition for the innovative collaboration solution, the Doxis^® iRoom^® for supplier. Accepting the award, Cornelius Hilbig, Head of Digital Services/IT at the Eissmann Group Automotive, was pleased with the success of SER and Eissmann's project.
