Helly Hansen has been using Gerber Technology’s WebPDM and AccuMark to enhance collaboration between vendors by providing a single source of data as well as a tool to efficiently manage their product data. Migration from webPDM to Yunique In The Cloud brings along a host of added benefits, including additional flexibility, allowing teams to access information wherever they may be located and performance enhancements via a secure, always-on infrastructure hosted by Amazon Web Services.

“We look forward to continuing our relationship with industry experts from Amatec and Gerber Technology and believe that by upgrading to the cloud, we will gain additional collaborative and visibility capabilities. All of our data will be located in a secure, central repository, eliminating the need for costly back-up servers or silos of information that typically reside in Excel spreadsheets and emails,” said Helly Hansen IT Director, Trine-Lise Jensen.

“The decision to upgrade from webPDM to Yunique In The Cloud will provide the opportunity for increased collaboration and expansion of their current capabilities,” said Bill Brewster, vice president and general manager of Enterprise SW Solutions. “We are excited for Helly Hansen to see the business benefits that come from using cloud technology.”
