A new SOAP-interface to the various ERP systems of a pharma wholesale company goes live after a successful pilot phase.

For one of our clients in the insurance sector, we replaced ETL software with a new implementation in Java and Groovy, tailored to the specific needs of the customer.

The scripts define how to remotely control Selenium Webdriver.
