TOGAF 9 Certified

It’s official now -  I passed the exam and are allowed to carry the TOGAF 9 Certified logo!

It was quite some work to prepare for the exam and took much longer than expected, but I learned a lot about Enterprise Architecture and TOGAF as a framework and method for establishing an EA capability and doing actually architecture work.

Now I feel much more confortable discussing Enterprise Architectures with customers and can better position our solutions and products into existing environments.

I gotta look for some new goal, though…

Premium products and premium service

We are finally fixing our chairs from the dining table…

I am positive surprised that Rolf Benz actually sent us a set of replacement parts at no cost.
Sometimes premium products also have premium service – great! This feels a little like getting an iPad or iPhone repaired at Apple.

From a customer retention perspective this works out very well. I would always recommend Rolf Benz products after this positive experience…

Trip to Rigi Kulm (from Vitznau)

Why 30 days?

Here is the guy that says you need to try new things for 30 days to make an impact:

Biking to work–day 2 of 30

Looks like RunKeeper is more battery efficient than Everytrail. Despite the speed and distance announcements all the time… What´s missing is a heart rate sensor that transmits directly to the iPhone (maybe Bluetooth or so?).
