We could not miss the opportunity to ask Kurt a few important questions about the software and hardware development in the DACH market!
1) What are the biggest challenges of software and hardware development in this area?
DACH market represents Germany, Austria and Switzerland which are similar in language and geography but somehow different in mentality and business behavior. There are many KMUs which still like to have all engineers on site and do not trust companies from abroad.
We must convince them and create trust in our excellent engineering skills, the best with inviting them to meet and discuss on current technology trends and evolution.
2) What is your biggest challenge / advantage of joining Thaumatec?
Joining the company during Covid times can be challenging for everyone and for sure will influence comprehensive team building, but luckily, I know many of the guys since a long time, which will help a lot in this case. I am extremely excited that I will have the opportunity to work with a high-skilled team and of course to support them in delivering challenging projects.
3) How can Thaumatec fit the needs of DACH-located companies?
The Thaumatec portfolio in Technology research, HW/SW prototyping and product development is an asset which we must foster, explain, and show. This will create trust and help to advertise capabilities in the suitable competence areas which are needed. I am sure that as a company we can fit every need of DACH- and as well global companies.
