IT training specialist increases its activities in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland)
Erich Koller appointed new Managing Director of Fast Lane Switzerland
The IT training specialist Fast Lane has appointed Erich Koller as its new Managing Director in Switzerland. Koller has more than ten years of experience in the ICT industry and, with him as its local Managing Director, Fast Lane is increasing its business activities in Switzerland. The focus of these activities is on the marketing of the company’s entire portfolio of training courses, including Cisco and NetApp courses as well as practically-oriented training courses developed in-house.
Koller has held various management positions in the ICT industry since 2000. He gained his early experience in the sector with, among others, the service provider Dimension Data, where he initially worked as a Global Account Manager in the area of Service and Product Sales for the Cisco Global Services Alliance before assuming the position of Business Development Manager Europe. After that, Koller was responsible, as Head of Integration Services Europe, for the systems integration business at Orange Business Services in Europe.
Erich Koller joined the provider of high-end training services, Fast Lane Switzerland, in June 2011. Koller sees excellent opportunities and great potential in this region for the IT service provider to achieve local and global growth. “Companies around the world are now required to achieve the best possible added value from IT investments. Training at all levels has a key role to play in this respect and is crucial to securing the achievement of real benefits from investments. Learning should be seen as an ongoing process rather than a one off event,” explains Koller. “Employees are the most precious asset in a business and we help to ensure, with our many years of experience and comprehensive services, that they are kept motivated with ongoing professional training and increase the value of their activities. I sincerely believe that knowledge forms the basis of ability. This is a principle I have always found to be true and one which I intend to apply in my new position.”
