Hansen Strengthens Automation Capabilities for Stadtwerke Schwedt’s Growing Business

MELBOURNE, Australia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hansen Technologies (ASX:HSN), a leading global provider of software and services to the energy, water and communications industries, is pleased to announce today that it has signed a new, multi-year agreement with Germany’s Stadtwerke Schwedt, a provider of communications and energy services in the country.

Under the terms of the agreement, and in its bid to enhance the level of automation within its infrastructure to handle growing business volumes, Stadtwerke Schwedt will upgrade to the latest version of Hansen CCB. As a result, the service provider will receive enhanced customer-care, billing and product-management capabilities.

The tight integration between Hansen CCB and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was a strong factor in the company’s decision to upgrade.

By onboarding this solution, Stadtwerke Schwedt will be able to take advantage of new functionalities, and create new products to the marketplace far more seamlessly.

Dirk Sasson, Chief Executive Officer, Stadtwerke Schwedt, commented: “We have greatly valued our partnership with Hansen since 2009 and it has proven crucial to our success in a dynamic market such as Germany. Based on this solid foundation, we knew that Hansen was the ideal provider to start the next chapter of our digital transformation initiative – as we confront not only changing customer expectations, but a telecommunications industry undergoing a major degree of transition as well.”
