DLF is a trade association, with members from almost every company which supplies Swedish retailers with food, beverages, household products and all other fast moving consumer products - in all over 200 member companies.

 In the late 80’s, the organisation had started to expand, with new businesses like Delfi Marknadsservice (marketing surveys and services) and Nordisk Kuponginlösen  (coupons and consumer promotions) started, and trade issues became more complex. IT Management had until then been a part-time job, however the requirements were becoming ever more specialized and time consuming.

When its board decided to move to a new accounting system and also upgrade the IBM S/36, DLF asked Leif to be a temporary solution to their resourcing problem.

 The software package evaluation was successful, with the hardware upgrade leading to the deployment of a brand new computer, "Silver Lake", later to be better known as the AS/400.  The last part of Leif’s commission, to employ his successor, was also successfully undertaken, as he is still employed by DLF!
