“An interim CIO conducting the orchestra”
The French magazine covers the Harmony programme at Groupe GTH, led by Transfolabs as interim CIO: SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition for finance, sales, procurement, production and warehousing, in a regulated pharmaceutical environment. It describes the harmonisation as “particularly smooth”.

In their words
What those who gave us a seat say.
“Ce projet baptisé Harmony a permis non seulement de centraliser et d’optimiser les processus dans les domaines de la finance, de la production et de la supply chain, mais aussi de renforcer la cohésion interne, un point clé pour poursuivre l’expansion du groupe.”“Transfolabs came in to rationalise a major web redesign project that was failing. They ran an audit and then led an action plan implemented with the various teams. A project started 10 months earlier was delivered in 4 months.”
“The lead consultant from Transfolabs showed incredible leadership during the assignment at LCH SA (European Clearing House), where he took on the role of deputy CIO in 2019. Combining great human qualities with deep knowledge of information technology, this is a firm I highly recommend.”
“Transfolabs brought very solid digital leadership skills. Their consultants quickly gained a good understanding of the retail market and of how matching timing with the right decisions is the key to success in any digital transformation.”
