Who’s who?
COPA-DATA Consulting Team restructured
Senior Consultants take on Responsibility for Modules It is necessary to constantly change in order to meet the requirements of the future. This is a given for our products. However, the internal structures of a company also need to grow and be equipped to meet the requirements of the future if it is to progress and leave old burdens behind. This requires dynamism, flexibility and the will to accept challenges. Our employees are passionate and are eager to collaborate on continuous, future-orientated changes. Our Senior Consultants in the newly-created role of Technical Module Manager are taking on a special responsibility for the future of zenon and COPA-DATA. Excellent expertise, special skills, much experience and a passion for technical excellence are the basis on which Mark Clemens, Markus Wintersteller and Ursula Piela are taking on responsibility for the further development of our products. Our Product Management Team will thus be expanded with experienced experts and can provide more focus in creating tailor-made solutions for our customers, down to the finest detail. The Module Managers accompany the whole technical lifecycle of their assigned modules from
the idea through to the finished product. You can have important details taken into account at any time during development. At the same time, we ensure optimum sustainability of information about the product and have an active flow of information. Internally, the Module Managers are available to provide advice and practical help to all COPA-DATA teams – from quality assurance through training, consulting and support to the Technology Services Team and the Industry Managers for our four key industries. This ensures, over several stages of development, that both excellent technical expertise and customer’s requirements are taken into account with regards to the further development of zenon. The customers’ point of view is a particularly decisive success factor for the ongoing optimization of our products. In their new roles as Module Managers, our experts can bring external points of view, ideas and requirements directly into product developments, filter and qualify these demands in accordance with their experience and knowledge, and thus contribute to making zenon even more customer-friendly.

gero gruber Role at COPA-DATA: Screen- , & Interactiondesign, Technology Services, COPA-DATA Headquarters. Responsibilities: Design und usability of zenon and zenon projects, pre-sales support within Technology Services. Before COPA-DATA: After many years of working in photography, graphics and web, I decided to advance myself further in the media technology field. I pursued a degree in Media Technology and Design, and after a longer period in New Zealand, this lead to a position in the electronic and event technology field. In this position, I was responsible for the project management as well as, amongst other things, the automation of seminar rooms. The technical and interactive aspects of projects requiring specification, adjustment and implementation tailored to customer needs were particularly interesting and exciting parts of this work. This later inspired me to begin a master�s degree in Interactive Media where I increased my knowledge in usability, ergonomics and smart homes. Hobbies and interests: My hobbies are mostly of a sporty nature, such as biking, diving and climbing. In addition, I�m very interested in photography. My Motto: There are no problems, just challenges!
