DLoG products and technologies are highly complex and custom-tailored to the market and the requirements of the user. “In order to be able to market our consulting-intensive products via the globally distributed regional business units (RBUs) of our parent company, Advantech, we not only have to coordinate with our development department as well as production and key accounts; long project times also have to be taken into consideration. First and foremost, however, is the great amount of technical knowledge required in order to understand the customer’s requirements and then be able to implement them. In terms of content and the type of collaboration, this is uncharted territory for our RBUs. Expanding and supporting this sales network for our portfolio is a challenge that I welcome,” explained Lachauer.
