10jahreerp4students3
With some erp4students staff you surely already got in contact - with others not necessarily. However, they all are of enornomous importance for the programme because they are the people who permanently optimize and develop it - and ultimately keep it running. Therefore, in this chapter of our countdown we want to introduce those people to you who work both in front of and behind the scenes, starting with our developers and tutors. 

 

 

Taymaz Khatami 


1. Who are you and what´s your job at erp4students?
  • I´m Taymaz Khatami and I´m the head of the course development and also primarily responsible for the support. And actually 'man Friday' regarding SAP expertise ;-) 

2. For how long have you already been at erp4students and how was your internal development?
  • I´ve been here since the beginning and took care of the very first SAP ERP course that we offered at the University of Duisburg-Essen 10 years ago.

5. You like the work at erp4students because...

Further, I developed two courses („Introduction to Data Warehousing“ and „Introduction to In-Memory Technology“) for the Academy Cube Programme. At the same time I was involved in the laying of the foundation stone for our in-house software development and two years ago I took over the area of IT.

Secondly, we will create a product which enables us to provide our course participants with even better and faster support, to make the work on the case study even more comfortable. To this project I´m particularly looking forward.
