Marcel Ramaker’s Summary

As Senior System Consultant / Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration Architect and founder of IT Service Essentials I have been working in IT since 1982. Starting my career in micro electronics, I switched to an IT position as analyst/programmer on IBM systems.

In 1986 I started my own firm with a strong focus on networking products from Novell, serving smb's and mid sized organizations. Since 2007 I am primarily focused on Novell's Teaming + Conferencing, Kablink and GroupWise.

Together with this I am a speaker at various Open Horizons and Novell events and author for the Open Horizons magazine and WEKA publishers.

My adagium: 'Optimum collaboration will lead to unparalleled Synergy!'
