Key milestone in the CGDIS — Corps grand-ducal d’incendie et de secours ERP and HR modernisation reached. After months of intensive preparation, all stakeholders came together for live demos and forward-looking discussions — including how innovative technologies could support future Business Central scenarios in a secure public-sector environment.

Thank you to CGDIS for the trust — and to our partners KPMG Luxembourg and Microsoft for the support throughout this first phase of the project.
