    Very competent sales manager for Central Europe, fair, competent, no gold plating, no unnessesary components sold. DocuWare as tool is extremely stable, fast and reliable. Can be customized quite easy to own needs (or use one of the many competent partners of DocuWare). Very happy with installation overall.
