After analysis and evaluation of efficient solutions for electronic workflow in the idea management process, B. Braun selected target Idea Management in January 2008. Central to this decision was the fact that the software from target software solution GmbH is based on SAP technology and can thus be integrated in the IT strategy from B. Braun.
