"As a global IT company with locations in 19 countries, CGM is fully aware of the great benefits of a uniform, high-performance EDP structure. I am very much looking forward driving this development further: I see my main tasks as the optimization, simplification, standardization and consolidation of processes, internal systems and organizational structures. Highly efficient and standardized services on a global basis allow for the highest cost efficiency, maximum security measures and optimized availability for both internal operations as well as for CompuGroup Medical's Hosting and SaaS offerings. Through the consistent implementation of a global strategy with ambitious targets for engineering and the operation of IT services, it will then be possible to implement further optimization measures worldwide as soon as possible", said Christopher Heidler when describing his new responsibilities.
