Michale Baucke, EADS:
“Thank you for the very intensive and challenging lecture.”

Klaus Schneider, MCS AG:

Hendrik Buske, 1&1 Internet AG:
“Thank you very much and keep it up!”

Ulla Petermann,  institution for statutory accident insurance and prevention in the administrative sector:
“Theory was communicated pleasantly – not one minute boring! The exercises for the practical experience were chosen well and have supported the theory chapter as well.”

Marlén Brenn, ING-DiBa AG:
“SOPHIST’s catering was great, everyday a new cake.:-))”

Ingo Nordmann, proALPHA Software AG:

Holger Deitersen / EADS Deuschland GmbH:
“Dr. Stefan Queins has the diplomatic skills to present critic aspects in a way that you don’t feel criticized. It was very constructive. For this reason team spirit and motivation persist in project.”

Andreas Hasecke / Deutsche Vermögensberatung AG:
“I’ve visited your workshop Requirements Engineering last year. My colleagues and I really enjoyed it and we’ve often recommended it within our company.”

“I didn’t like that I was not able to come to the Agility Days, although I’ve had won a ticket in the lottery.“

Comment: Yes, that was pretty sad that you have been tied up in business. We hope that the “flexible” alternative prize was okay, too.

Peter Kiesel / Siemens MED Forchheim:
„The Requirements Days – successful application of templates (The system shall…) at Siemens Med CT in Forchheim (Regards to Rolf G. ;-))”

Frank Druhm:
“Your ideas work. We have a real system!” Or “Every system learns to run with your ideas! You are great. Keep it up in 2004!”

Thomas Thanner /Siemens AG:
“I really like the idea of spending money to “Help for Nepal” instead of sending gifts.”

Rainer Redlin / mobilcom Communicationstechnik GmbH:
Your newsletter is different. You understand to focus on the important information but you never forget, however, to joke around a bit as well. Keep it up! This “only” applies for the newsletter ;-)”

“Problem with navigation on your new website.”

Comment: Step 1: Allocation of sitemap … Step 2: New navigation concept in progress…

Erwin Bauer:
“I was really surprised that a heterogeneous team really exists which deals with the essentials and basics of system engineering. I’ve read your book about Requirements Engineering with great interest and a lot of questions.”

Joachim Engel / Engel EDV-Systeme:
“I always really like the SOPHISTs! And I like that the head office is not in the capital city but in Nuremberg!”

“I dislike that your head office is in Nuremberg. Such a company should be in the capital city!”

 Lothar Krahl /DEKRA:“What I liked best: The new book UML 2”“What I liked least: I’ve no idea”“What I liked least: that a SOPHIST told me the wrong departure of the bus to the station at a workshop. I really had to run to my train (with my suitcase and after a couple of glasses of wine and delicious snacks!)”Comment: You couldn’t see it on the telephone: But the SOPHIST, who apologized, really blushed ;-))

Ms. Uhlig, IT-Systemhaus of  German Federal Labour Market Authority:
“Best training I’ve ever had. It was not possible to doze off. Lessons were loosening; there was a reference to our company (theory and exercise). Keep it up!”

Manuela Stötzer, Ergo Direkt Versicherung AG:
“Thanks a lot to Mr. Strößner. I’ve felt comfortable in his training and he did a great job!”

Jan-Frederik Wilhelm, iS2 AG:
“Very intensive training (among other things the low size of the group) which I’ve really enjoyed. Mr. Hoffmann has left a positive mark of the SOPHISTs. I’m looking forward to other publications/ presentations/…”

NN, EADS Germany GmbH:
“I’ve “experienced“ Dr. Queins of the SOPHISTs at a project workshop. At other trainings of other provider I disliked the arrogant behavior of the speaker. You were able to discuss on the same level with Mr. Queins and you‘ve never felt like a pupil. He responded to our wishes and gave us helpful tips. I’m absolutely satisfied with the effort and knowledge transfer!”

Oliver Joos, W&W Informatik GmbH:
“Great training!”

Bernd Ruhland, MCS AG:
“Another great training, full of light bulb moments, which has visualized the access to model-based software development. Thanks!”

“When I was working with SOPHIST, I was convinced in particular by the professional expertise, receptiveness, ability to motivate others, and the ‘team spirit’ of Stefan Queins.“

Ralf Habermann / Siemens AG:
“SOPHIST’s creation of the compendium for requirements engineering was very helpful. Cooperation with SOPHIST was constructive and professional. “

Sebastian Häpe / LFK-Lenkflugkörpersysteme GmbH:
“We had great review results at the training of Stefan Queins and Anja Ranft. They gave us an understanding of UML/OO in practice, as well. It was very helpful with regard to the professional life. “

Rolf Götz / Deutsche Post AG:
“Thanks to Rainer of SOPHIST for his stubbornness regarding the important aspects in my project. He led me the right way out of deadline and cost pressure. My colleagues and I take a leaf out of his book. The SOPHIST preferred techniques of documentation establish more and more as lingua franca of German analytic companies.”



Peter Breyer:
“Requirements engineering has played an important role in our company since 2007 after the project-related coaching and the great training at SOPHIST. The methodical application of Requirements Engineering is a factor of success in our project. We’re just getting started but we clearly recognize an increase in quality.”

Thanks to our SOPHISTs Andreas Günther and Claudia Kellermann.
