SYM-PAC Development Roadmap — and how to improve margins with SYM-PAC

After a short lunch break, we reviewed the SYM-PAC R&D Development Roadmap — before the entire room was spellbound by George Stylianou, Professional Services team, and his presentation on improving your margins using the tools available in SYM-PAC including Margin Magic.

The afternoon was concluded with a quick overview of SYM-PAC’s IHG integration in general and discussion of the types of improvements our customers would like to see made to the Comparison Report.
