The about page best starts with an initial “I”, but I don’t do this because it feels impolite. If you want to know more about me, you are welcome to drop by or write to werner@wernerroth.de.
I was born shortly after the landing on the moon, but I did not become an astronaut, rather a member of the IT industry.
Since several years I focus on presales of managed services or service management in general. Currently I work for Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH in Hannover, Germany.
Before that, I managed the Service and Support department at Benteler Deutschland GmbH and made some changes in the direction of Service Management. The Benteler Group is an industrial company with the divisions Automotive, Steel/Tube and Distribution.
Prior to that, I worked for Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH (now Diebold Nixdorf), dealing with ITIL, partners, projects, programs, software and solutions. Some of you might know me from the ATM sector or from the retail industry.
Formerly I was at Sun Microsystems GmbH (now Oracle Corporation) and took care of OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, projects and business development.
Until then, I was a research associate at the University of Paderborn and worked on software usability, research and teaching as well as research funding.
In my leisure time I do everything I enjoy, e.g. trying out new technologies.
Kneipenlesung (pub reading) is a group of friends who read to the public stories from various books. No poetry slam, no reading by an author, just reading, sipping beer and listening. Surprisingly enough people come and listen to this at kneipenlesung.de (German only).
Further hobbies are typography, espresso, alternative use of alternatives and similar things. Then there is the habitual stuff at home, mowing the lawn, DIY, installing new technology, tinkering with bicycles, etc. what you just do.
