FROM EUROCOMM’s H.Q.
YOUR MISSION
“It’s high time that Teleswitches
adapts its information &
reporting processes and system
to the corporate one, and at
Eurocomm we all use ‘EIS’. They
have to adopt it too now!”
“You and your team are now
detached at Teleswitches.
You’ll spend the next 6 months
there, by which time you’ll
have to get the whole
management team (of 22) on
board. That’s our last chance if
we want to keep on managing
this company in a transparent
way!” “It will not be easy but we
count on you!”
