1. Hello All
Well it has been a busy week over here in Germany !!
Firstly i am pleased to announce the snow has gone and
we can see green again!
This week we have had Daniel Alcantara staying and
training with us and we have enjoyed introducing him to
few new things, He was amazed by the Snow when he
landed last week as he had never seen it before.
We have also discovered he likes milk in his Tea and
Marmite, although he finds it slightly bizzare that we
have it for breakfast!!
I would like to use my BLOG this week to properly
introduce him so i asked him to write a short
introduction about himself ...
I graduated in Business in 2001.
I then started working as a Graphic Designer and went on to
manage an English school. I was then invited to be an ERP
consultant in 2003, working for 3 years for Senior Systems,

2. where I worked in in Finance, Sales, Bought, Stock,
Accountancy and Production. I worked in various sectors,
mining, steel mill and foundries. I opened my own company
in 2006 and since then have worked with Project Management
and technical consulting related to deployment revitalization
of ERP software.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Chris Collins in 2008 when
managing a big project for 4 software packages and one a link
between Synchro32 (Today Synchro ERP) and Sapiens the a
major financial software accounting system in Brazil. I
graduated in Law in 2010 and in Project Management in
2011. After a long time working in various cities I received
an e-mail from Chris Collins inviting me to join the Synchro
ERP Team.
I also asked Daniel to tell us about his training ...
My Initial training sessions consisted of a week in
Nacogdoches – Houston, USA, at the company offices with
the head of US operations, Shane Allen, and his faithful squire
Wyatt Earp (his biggest fan a miniature Min Pin) learning
about the sales process, quotations and technical support.

3. I then flew onto our German office to spend the second week
with Lee Mahon and Victoria Smith and of course their
beautiful, beautiful daughter Leah. Where I had the
opportunity to see first hand the support department working
with the CRM system Synchro designed for their own internal
use.
I really improved my Synchro ERP knowledge and learnt
important aspects of the work, culture, communication
techniques and of course the language itself, a challenge for
this year.
I am Brazilian and a native Portuguese speaker.
Last but not least, I must talk about the treatment received by
all. I felt completely at home, sharing meals, watching TV,
playing with Wyatt Earp and having great guitar lessons from
the cute guitar maestro Leah.
So, Shane, Lee and Victoria, thank you very much, I started in
Synchro with an understanding of this great team of people
now I can see… I’m in a family.

having him around.
