Jan has worked with
GroupWise since it was Wordperfect Office. He entered the digital domain as a
child when given a VT100 terminal and TI-59 programmable calculator by his
father. That lead to an education as an Electronics & Computer
Engineer.
Working for government, other private companies and later in his own companies Jan has worked with
networks and security issues since the middle of the eighties. Jan has many
varying IT-projects behind him and has for many years worked with support and
maintaining GroupWise installations foe various clients. He has also held
several educations for his customers GroupWise users. Due to his vast expertise
and long perspective he works much with helping companies get a good ROI for
their IT investments. This is done by much by bringing different frameworks such
as ITIL and project models in to place for the organisation at hand. Many
people recognize him as a fairly known face at many Novell related gatherings
over the years. |

 MBA and doctorate (IS architecture) at the University of St. Gallen, CNE since 1990
ROHNER INFORMATIK AG is a Novell Business Expert System Integrator and serves many GroupWise customers in Switzerland, some of them since the long gone WP days.
My personal approach to GroupWise is decided non technical because I see GroupWise as a tool to support business processes; therefore aspects of methodology and application integration (with workflow and document management tools, ERP, CRM etc.) are at the center of our services related to GroupWise.
