Difficult time before Lasernet
The pre-Lasernet era was costly: “Our reports were coded into Microsoft Dynamics AX, so it was expensive to change anything. It also took a long time to implement changes and it was difficult to understand what was being done because there were many different consultants involved,” says Allain Bill Bøge, IT Manager at Vikan. When Vikan needed to improve document management, everyone pointed to Lasernet as the most effective solution, and today it works easier, faster and more reliably than before.
Multiple application areas
We save a lot of money by being able to change fields and functions ourselves. We primarily use Lasernet for document management, but are also considering using it to print labels in the future,” Allain explains.
“My guess is that we have saved around half a million kroner. In addition, there are ongoing savings of a few hundred thousand annually”

No more waiting for expensive consultants

Lasernet works well on a daily basis. What sets the solution apart is that it works all the time. We don’t need support and we don’t have challenges with rebooting or changing anything. Everything is running smoothly”.

Implemented on time
On the implementation of Lasernet, Allain says: “We finished on time and
There’s no doubt that the implementation has been a success. We struggled a bit
getting the right data at first, which was frustrating, but if we look at
process from a helicopter perspective, it has gone really well!”.
Tabellae thinks in solutions and follows up
Allain is extremely satisfied with the collaboration with Tabellae: “There has been good follow-up, which in itself is a mark of quality. Tabellae is persistent, trustworthy and solution-oriented. Many suppliers don’t meet their deadlines. Tabellae is definitely not that type of partner.”
