Success Story

April 20, 2020

Vadim Nedilko, General Director Sandvik Russia

Want to send my highest recommendation to Andrey Barkov who i worked closely with during a Russia roll out project, without his expertise and local knowledge, the project would not have gone live! Due to his patience and prompt responses, we were able to finalize all the tasks and made the go-live deadline without much post go-live incidents! Will definitely recommend Andrey for any localization projects especially where the language could be a possible barrier and also covering cross functional areas within SD, MM and FI

I worked with Andrey together on our SAP rollout project in Russia. The successful Go-Live was in 2015. Andrey is a very experienced consultant in the FI/CO area with excellent knowledge and experience of country specifics and legal requirements in Russia. Due to his knowledge and efforts the project started on time and was running without any problems. He could help to find a solution for any issue which had to be solved. He is a pleasant colleague with a deep knowledge of SAP FI/CO and I would recommend him for any other project.
