Loren Heilig is the founder of IBSolution GmbH and has been its managing director since 2003. IBSolution GmbH is an innovative SAP NetWeaver service provider that has made a name for itself as a specialist in complex SAP NetWeaver projects. With predefined packages, IBSolution also proves that SAP projects don't always have to be expensive.
Before founding IBSolution GmbH, Loren was a project lead at SAP Systems Integration AG and SAP AG. There he was responsible for setting up a BW consultancy team that focused on HR, and he coordinated the BW/HR projects at Saudi Aramco (in Saudi Arabia). In addition to more than twelve years of experience with the BW system (he implemented his first BW project with BW 1.2a), he has also conducted BW system training at SAP Germany and Switzerland for many years. Before beginning his professional career, Loren Heilig received a degree in industrial engineering from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany.
At IBSolution, he is responsible for the Sales and Marketing area. He also compiles the overall strategy of IBSolution and develops new business fields, such as master data processes and SAP NetWeaver Identity Management.
Dr. Peter Gergen has been a presales specialist for SAP NetWeaver IdM at SAP since 2008. SAP had just expanded the IdM field by acquiring MaxWare six months prior. As a senior consultant and project lead for LDAP technologies at Netscape, Peter managed customer projects, including the implementation of a directory that was the largest in the world at that time. As a project manager at Sun Microsystems, he worked in IdM for the first time, before joining SAP six years later. In 1996, Peter Gergen completed his doctorate in experimental solid-state physics, and he also published a book in 2002.
