Creating my future ...
In April 2005 the number of employees in DIBS was 16, I was number 17, and DIBS had just moved to Lyngby from Frederiksberg. In Gothenburg they were 3 persons, and the rest were in Lyngby.
The persons were :
- Jon Wichmann (manager and founder of DIBS)
- Lars Friis (finance manager)
- Jesper Lohmann (sales and marketing manager)
- Ulla Stjernø (finance)
- Jesper Leth Dammand (sales)
- Mads Bredgaard (sales)
- Helge Schmidt (support)
- Lars Stokholm (operations)
- Frederik Esser (development manager)
- Mark Nyqvist Hjarding (developer)
- Stephanie E. F. Munck (developer)
- Klaus Kyrsting (developer)
- Thore P.C Kragelund (developer)
- Erik Magnarsson (sales)
- Johan Nilsson (manager gothenburg office)
- August Lindeblad (sales)
Now in DIBS (Not including Nets Group) there are about 100 persons employed in 4 offices in 3 countries.
Until today we were two left of the "original" DIBS - from way back then...
The lunch was in the kitchen and the menu was on monday fresh and on friday not so much ...
Now the lunch is a real treat with many other companies and a professional kitchen making the food.
During the day, sometimes there flew small airplanes around in the room..., people played dart and golf in the middle of the room, we had a smoking room so the smokers didn't have to go down 4 floors to smoke, the only elevator we had was the one for groceries, the coffee was REALLY bad... but the spirits were REALLY high. We answerd our cellphones even at 2 a.m. if a customer experienced errors on transactions, and tried to help them 24/7 - even if you were a sales person you knew how to set up an acuirer agreement in Meta...
I wanted DIBS to use CRM when I started, I came from a CRM world and could see that DIBS was sitting on a Platinum egg...
Now finally DIBS will in a short while use CRM for the first time properly. Unfortunately I won't be able to see "my baby" born, but I've done what I can to make sure it is on the right path...
I will continue to work with CRM and now even SharePoint. Can't wait to get a lot of knowledge of one of the leading CRM systems in the world, and be representing the best Microsoft partner in Denmark - ProActive. So if you are ever in need of a Microsoft product that needs implementing....
Who 'r u gonna call... :-)
