"Our interest was to come up with the five most potent emerging markets for our industry. In close collaboration our internal team and the team of Hammer have done a tremendous job to bring down the long list of nearly 40 countries down to the five most potential ones in only three months’ time. The Hammer team exceeded my expectation. They triggered constructive discussions to build solid simulation models. Together we pushed the project team for discriminative measures. Normally such a project takes ages but with help of Hammer we were able to stick to the plan and not waste any time on irrelevant details."
