Swedish Match chooses Acando for ERP implementation and roll-out

Acando wins an order for licenses and implementation of Microsoft's ERP system

includes integration to external partners and legacy systems via Microsoft
BizTalk Server.

Swedish Match develops, manufactures and sells market-leading brands in
