My name is Guido Sascha Zumbusch (call me Sascha).

I work since 1985 in the IT business (mostly as freelancer or entrepreneur). I started with Apple IIe and C64. Switched over to Siemens UNIX. I was developing Software in C and SQL. Also I trained people in the area of Software Engineering Methods and Database Technology. Then I switched again to VMS and rdb (wich was a great database). Coming back to Interactive UNIX and SunOS. Then Linux. Changing more and more the direction towards networking (Cisco). My last switch was to Windows 2003 Server (which I like).

I founded (not alone, I had partners) the first commercial ISP in Germany (Contributet Networks[Contrib.Net]) in 1992. The company was renamed in TCP/IP GmbH. After some years we sold the company to an American TelCo. I worked as CEO, project manager and consultant for them. My main task was to evaluate freshly aquired subsidiaries technically and businesswise and make proposals for the technical and business integration of their organisations.

Tired of flying around I quit and opened my own small company again. SZ Consulting Services. Now I have more time for my family and have the right to say 'no' again.

My Company offers consulting services for IT projects. This might be management of development projects, helping foreign companies to enter the german market as interim CEO, business development for IT based companies. I'll do whatever people want me to, if I'm capable. The more interesting the project is, the lower the rates are...:o) I have two SAP R/3 certificates (SCM + BI).I was looking for alternatives for the SAP system, since SAP is mostly used by BIG companies and they also want BIG consulting firms advising them.

A smaller and more open approach was my target. So I found Compiere. But I was quite unhappy with the low response rates of this company.

Also I got the feeling that 'localisation' for them means 'translation'. Which I think is a big mistake. Especially here in Germany there are some rules from the government which force a company to use systems with very specific functionality. Which seemed to be totally ignored by Compiere.

Luckily I found ADempiere. And it's community (lot's of nice people....)

My approach is more user/customer centric, not technical. So you might expect some inconvenience coming from me because I ask questions and have demands which don't care about thechnical high skills. I'm a solicitor for normal dumb users.

But I'm willing to help make it a success.
