Omid Delawar migrated from Iran and joined us here in the company via an integration programme run by the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. He and his mentor, Anton Spitzer, have since become more than merely colleagues. In the following interview, the two of them share their experiences. More
An everyday situation at work: A new application requires a new user to be created and a password assigned. A few weeks later, the password expires and has to be replaced – and of course the new one has to be super cryptic. Who can remember all of this? Wouldn’t it be better to have a single password for all applications and other uses, eliminating the password dilemma …? Not in the least!
In my last article I wrote about how Kanban had improved our work at Porsche Informatik IT infrastructure. This text reflected the situation a few months after introduction – here I would like to tell you about our experiences with Kanban since then and what we have changed in the meantime. More
This year, Porsche Informatik participated in the Smart Summer youth initiative for the first time.

Too much work, too little time, too few staff – who does not know this problem? In addition, mental activities are frequently not really tangible; you have too many projects on the go at the same time and are only too easily dispersed.

Our practical example: the living Kanban in the Infrastructure department of Porsche Informatik.
Girls’ Day is a cross-border event day of the EuRegio Salzburg – Berchtesgadener Land – Traunstein, on which companies, government offices and secondary schools offer young girls an insight into a variety of professions and training opportunities. Especially classic male domains such as technology, science and manual trades seek more young female talent here.
Leading IT corporations, including Porsche Informatik, in cooperation with the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences Information Technology & Systems Management degree program, have created a new studies package. With this we intend to develop a sustainable pool of top talent.
In future the Porsche Colombia importer in Bogotá will supply 40 car dealerships with over 750 parts items; the central parts store contains ca. 20,000 items.
The users are happy with their new solution, the previous system only covered the most essential functions. ETN has already achieved significant performance improvement and process optimisation; the new opportunities in reporting and controlling are also highly appreciated by the Colombian importer.
After Austria and Hungary, Colombia is the third country in which the Porsche Holding Salzburg relies on ETN. The next deployment is already scheduled: in 2017 we are launching a preliminary study for the Chile market; the start is planned for 2018.
