IT
My experience in IT is manifold; I immediately took to it. In 1975 as student in an act of youthful exuberance, I, on a simple BASIC terminal, drove my professor to despair, managing to kick him repeatedly offline while I, sitting directly next to him, never lost connection.
In 1985 I axed a, by my predecessor, newly purchased, but completely obsolete, CP/M system to replace with the then revolutionary Nixdorf Quattro mini system and proceeded writing reports and a Lotus 123 interface specifically for the company I then was General Manager for
1989 introduced me to the AS/400 and the BPCS ERP system, whose implementation I spent many years on as Finance & Administration Director, only to have to replace it with SAP/R3 some 5-6 years later.
Next, as private entrepreneur, came a number of elaborate customisations to Act!, one of the first real CRM packages.
This century started with a dash of Exact, complemented by my own bespoke ERP system written in Visual Basic for Applications and a great dollop (8 years) of MS Dynamics.
