Bio
Heather Stevens
I have worked with Frans for over 6 years. I have always found his skill level very high. He has always been professional in every thing he did. I also found him helpful and a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend him
Kathy Hart
I met Frans many years ago, firstly when I was MD of ROI Technologies as we launched into the Cognos world, then again as a Cognos Business Partner, Anametrix, and now as a colleague at IBM. Frans has developed over the last 10 years into a highly skilled and mature Technical Sales person and assists me constantly in my endeavours to assist our Cognos and BA clients. Certainly, without Frans, there would be many dissatisfied Cognos customers around. Frans is dedicated to his task as a Cognos specialist, excellent with people of all levels, and very easy to work with as a colleague. He is always eager to help out where he can and never complains when his workload begins to groan as he is able to manage his time and his priorities. I have enjoyed many years of working alongside Frans and look forward to the next 10! All the best, Kathy Hart IBM BA Brand - Core Accounts
