Recommendations:
“I would like to recommend Oliver Schmid as an associate I worked with while merging with Karcher North America. Oliver always went out of his way to help us with our SAP implementation even when there was no possible benefit to him or his company. He was extremely professional and a big help to us as a sister company representative. I am truly grateful for having worked with him and enjoyed his experience and knowledge of SAP.”
January 20, 2009 Lonnie Knotts, Director of IS, C-Tech Industries

“Karcher Residential Solutions engaged Analysts International on several networking projects.

As the lead engineer for Analysts International on those projects, Oliver and I worked closely together and he was a pleasure to work with.” June 16, 2008

“Oliver was working for another group in the company, before I hired him to work for me to manage the outsourcing of his staff and then manage the outsource managers from various IT fields. This was a drastic change in concept but was necessary to lean out the IT support while we tripled the sales for the company, while at the same time we were installing SAP. Most people at this level in the company do not deal with drastic changes well but Oliver soon became the lead person in the transition. As the Senior VP and CFO, it was critical that for the company and my career that I have someone trustworthy and competent to take charge of this transition. Before my departure, I recommended the promotion to Director of IT, which was carried out. Feel free to contact me for any additional information.
Top qualities: Great Results, High Integrity, Creative
