Description

Consulting for Business Solutions and Digitalization

Location: St. Pölten, Lower Austria

I have been working as a Senior Consultant in the software sector for over 30 years. As an all-rounder, I am versatile and flexible, adapting to the situation and the customer. My activities include project management, consulting for business solutions and mobile apps, requirements analysis, and data analysis.

In addition to ERP projects in the Microsoft environment, I also undertake business analysis projects. I am accustomed to complex challenges and lead projects to success. I have successfully carried out upgrade & migration projects multiple times, from legacy systems, such as Navision, to Business Central. With over 30 successfully completed Dynamics 365 Business Central and Navision projects, I can optimally support customers in optimizing their ERP systems.

For special tasks, I develop low-code apps based on Ninox.
