Moved to Munich

It has been 2 weeks since I moved to Munich. I started with OpenText (OT). It is a bit ironic that prior to this engagement I have been living in Canada and working for a German company. Now I am in Germany and working for a Canadian company.

The folks here are not only nice but also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what they do. The set up reminds me of the good old days in CRM when development and product management strived to deliver something useful quickly to the market. All in all, I hope I will fit in and become part of that team.

The project that I am involved is about integrating OT’s Enterprise Content Management suite with SAP products (ERP and CRM). After looking into the architecture, I must say it is very similar to what I have integrating SAP’s StreamWork and CRM. This is extremely positive, as it means that two teams/individuals independently came up with the same solution approach.

On the personal side – I sleep on a mattress and hope that my belongings from Canada will arrive soon. But I have an internet connection (thumbs up to Vodafone) and a table with chairs to sit on. The beer is affordable and tastes great!!!
