En résumé

I have been mostly working for and from Switzerland.
I know quite well complex ERP environments, especially SAP, and with a particular understanding of content management solutions associated to ERPs.
Now, I have a good experience in OpenSource architecture and implementation.
I dream of coupling SAP platforms with OpenSource solutions.

Winning huge accounts and working with them is my background culture.
My will is to find out how I can contribute as a business developer to the future successes of your Company.
Contact me soon : I'm sure to have some ideas to share.
