NetDimensions Enters the German Market

Amsterdam (NL) / Munich (GER), November 2012 - NetDimensions, a global provider of performance, knowledge, and learning-management systems, has recently established NetDimensions Germany GmbH in Munich, Germany. "We view Germany as a very important market for NetDimensions," said Jay Shaw, NetDimensions's Managing Director and CEO.

"Being able to serve this market via direct presence in the country underlines our commitment to offering the best solutions and support to existing and new clients in the region."


According to the German Chamber of Commerce (DIHK), skills shortage is among companies' biggest concerns at the moment, and according to the German Federal Labor Office, by 2025 Germany will face a shortage of three million workers. There are several causes for the shortage, including demographic change and difficulty to train and develop employees to meet industry's needs.

NetDimensions addresses these needs by providing practical talent-management solutions that are especially well suited for "Mittelstand" companies. The NetDimensions solutions are quick to deploy on premise or as SaaS, flexible to personalize to individual company requirements, highly robust, easy to use, and supported by a local team of professionals.

In addition, about forty percent of Germany's largest companies and major brands are in banking, insurance, finance, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare. All are the type of highly regulated industries that NetDimensions serves worldwide, enabling companies in these sectors to meet their global regulatory and operational compliance challenges.

NetDimensions Germany GmbH Sales Director Klaus Löper brings significant experience in the learning and talent-management industry, most recently as country manager with LINE Germany and as business manager with Tata Interactive Systems in Germany.

"It is a very exciting time to be part of the NetDimensions team," commented Klaus. "We are seeing great momentum in Germany for the NetDimensions talent offerings, and we look forward to the opportunities ahead of us."

Joining Löper is Dirk Flaskamp, Sales Director for DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), who previously worked in a sales role at Lumesse.

Liam Butler, General Manager for Europe, Middle East, and Africa at NetDimensions noted, "Klaus and Dirk bring a combined forty years plus of experience in our industry. We are very happy to have them on board to drive the growth of NetDimensions in the DACH region."
