Rewarding, but also challenging

“Working with you was all the time rewarding but also challenging.

Your approach is at the same time giving but also taking. Personally I appreciate straight forward approach, which is maybe the most visible thing when working with you.

Basically at all the times everybody can trust that if you see something which is not going in the right direction, you say it out loud with no ill-will but just to get things done. I also appreciated your business process knowledge and that helped the implementation a lot.”

– Jari Sihvonen, CFO Dynea Finland, Finance Track lead

Brutally honest and dead right

“I have worked with Jakob from IZARA in various companies over the past 13 years. I have on several occasions tasked him with investigating complex business process/IT System issues and he has always been able to pinpoint the problems and provide simple and pragmatic solutions as well as drive change where change has been required. I would hire Jakob again anytime.”

– Henrik Vildenfeldt, Senior VP CFO Dynea Group

Increased transparency and flexibility

“Dynamics 365 has provided us with increased transparency and flexibility across our businesses, supporting data driven decision across the value chain. IZARA assisted us in analysing and mapping our IT-spend and confirmed that we probably did not spend too much in total, but that a big part of the spend was not really-value adding activities. After a thorough business objective and needs analysis by IZARA, Dynamics 365 in the cloud and surrounding services was shortlisted. During implementation IZARA took charge of project management as well as finance lead to ensure implementation of the agreed project objectives in all corners of the company. Post go-live IZARA is still dedicated to optimizing our implementation and usage, helping us setting the direction and ambition for the usage and integration of the business system as an evergreen solution so we hopefully never have to implement again…unless technology disrupts.”

– Lars Heineke, CFO, MCI Group

Quick and correct decisions

“Jakob from IZARA is determined, open, honest, has a solution-oriented attitude and is trustworthy. His way of making demands of his own people and the way he motivates us is unique. With his capabilities to manage the project, we have reached the goals that have seemed almost impossible. Focus on due dates has been clear. It has been a pleasure and a very educational experience to work under his leadership. The ability to summarize key information and make quick but correct decisions has been an important capacity. Motivation and willingness to change, adaptation and to implement standardization has been a strong focus in our cooperation.”

– Mariann Auglestad, Plant Chemist Dynea North, Lillestrøm, Production Track lead

Clarity and simplicity

“Jakob from IZARA is a change and transformation agent. He is a disruptive force that will force you to rethink your current working practices. He will bring clarity and simplicity to the way you work and unshackle inefficiencies from your operations. Priceless learning experience gained from the transformation voyage.”

– Jussi Raukavaara, Infrastructure Manager, Dynea Group

Makes things happen

“Jacob from IZARA extracts information from people and processes and finds what is really relevant. He always seeks simple, good solutions and challenges routines and procedures to make sure we can implement them. In projects he is demanding, both for internal and external team, but he makes things happen.”

– Bjørn Rosbach, CIO Dynea Group
