Hamburg, Germany

General Manager / Director - (former owner and founder) Primary customers were big industry, banks and insurance companies. We expanded from 2 people to 32 plus several freelance technicians in other

parts of Germany. The Frankfurt office first closed in 2000 and was reopened as a franchise by

former employees. They are now independent. The Hamburg office closed in 2007 when first IBM then SUN cancelled our

dealer status due to new business models.

1997-2003 Major Services GmbH Hamburg, GermanyGeneral Manager / Director - (former owner and founder) Computer maintenance and short term rentals for projects such as software

upgrades or new equipment delivery delays. We had over 50 Maintenance contracts, some with multiple sites. One was

with Daimler Benz who actually have their own Hamburg based IT people. I personally was also a qualified technician for IBM RS/6000.

Certified in both SUN and IBM for RS/6000 and AS/400 Sales. We liquidated as IBM no longer can be maintained 3rd party, their new high

end machines have on demand capacities that are activated remotely when a processor or memory falls out. SUN is no longer competitive in the area of hardware. Banks no longer financed rentals as being high risk investments.
