数字化进程需要强大的驱动力,去追求更完美的目标。Dennis Sandig先生主要致力于做接口的工作,力求成为各专业部门和开发-团队之间的桥梁。他谈及了自己在MAPAL集团的工作经历。

“我们正在为我们所有的客户建立数字式接点。我们的目标是,真正地让每个客户都能轻松地找到访问我们公司的正确途径”, Dennis Sandig先生解释说。
Dennis Sandig先生大学毕业于经济信息学,受聘在MAPAL集团担任应用程序经理,并将自己积极投身于层架复杂的数字化项目工作中。如今数字化应用在MAPLE已经非常广泛,从产品开发和产品质量,再到与客户以及合作伙伴的合作,数字化过程已经渗透到集团公司的所有领域。因此,对于他工作中所面临的不同的目标和挑战,丹尼斯都非常清楚。他目前在一个商务-云-项目中担任产品负责人。在大规模重新启动MAPAL集团整体在线功能时,除了主数据-管理和接口-执行之外,重中之重还在于要确保最大程度的可用性。

“I thought to myself: ‘Oh, yes, MAPAL. They produce some kind of drills’. But one must really say: This high level of specialisation in the product range cannot really be described in words.”

Having a broad and deep knowledge is desired

When Dennis applied to MAPAL, he wasn’t aware of the immense scope of MAPAL’s product portfolio: “I thought to myself: ‘Oh, yes, MAPAL. They produce some kind of drills’. But one must really say: This high level of specialisation in the product range cannot really be described in words.”
Despite or precisely because of the high level of specialisation in many areas, MAPAL has a desire for its workforce to acquire both broad and deep knowledge. This is why the internal academy adequately prepares ‘newcomers’ for the company and its products with its training programme. “You get a 14-day introduction to the MAPAL product world, which obviously is amazing, because how else would you build a shop system for products you are not familiar with?” According to Dennis Sandig, the mere fact that there is such extensive product training is a sign of the high esteem that MAPAL holds new employees in.

International team spirit

The diverse team, consisting of colleagues and service providers, not only works at the MAPAL headquarters in Aalen, but also in Bremen, Morocco, Spain or even further afield. In addition, this internationally tested way of working was certainly particularly advantageous during the lockdown period of the coronavirus pandemic. “Our development team are spread out all over the world anyway, so (sort of like before) we’ve been doing all our meetings online.”
In the meantime, Dennis has arrived well in the MAPAL world – not least thanks to the close cooperation within the teams, where they actively support each other. “It's really nice here at MAPAL. There’s always one person who can fully address a technical question, there is always someone to share something with. That’s the only way you can develop as well.”
