1 / 4“Throughout my position as DSP Pharmacist (Automation led dispensing solutions), as Continuous Improvement lead and as a Software Upgrade Manager I had multiple interactions with Anup and his team (around the subject of Masterdata administration and development of the platform that works as a link between various parts of the company). Anup has consistently been excellent. Very responsive and supportive to any requests for support and genuinely engaged in developing solutions and find out root cause of existent issues. I hope to continue this professional relation for the foreseeable future.”
