I was a young employee at a trading company when I met Reinhold Karner about 30 years ago. Together we implemented a new ERP business software solution with Reinhold's software and consulting company KTW. I had already at that time been very impressed with Reinhold Karner's practical focus and his promising ideas and solutions that fascinated me.

This remained the same in all the 20 years of working together and Reinhold Karner was always my go-to person for new and ground-breaking IT solutions.

Even today, despite the fact that our business paths have parted, I follow Reinhold Karner’s career and he remains a "phenomenon" far beyond the IT world. His ability to predict future trends, together with his life's and business experiences, make him a source of inspiration for every company and its employees.
