Dr. Mark Goulding, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

"wega organized another workshop on LIMS selection for a potential customer in southern Germany.
The customer was extremely well prepared – it was noticeable how professional and structured wega's briefing was beforehand. This allowed us to delve into the necessary depth in the discussions.
Special praise goes to Markus Reicke, who moderated the workshop: neutral, yet always with sensitivity and just the right amount of Swiss diplomacy, he ensured it was a highly productive workshop for all parties."

"wega provided us with significant support in drawing up the specifications for a LIMS - from the process analysis of the existing processes to the development of new processes, taking into account our requirements and their presentation in a comprehensive, GMP-compliant specification. Mr. Thewalt's excellent understanding of the processes and his practical approach, which led to a very high level of user acceptance during the workshops, deserve special mention. Also worth mentioning: the very good market overview and the detailed knowledge of possible providers."
