Community, may I have your attention, please? Join me in celebrating @Stefan, our August Member Spotlight, as he shares his Smartsheet Story with all of us! Stefan is a Senior Consultant at Nanga Systems, and lives in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He has been a Community Champion since 2023.
About 15 years ago, Stefan was tasked with assessing several tools for his job at the time. He selected Smartsheet based on a number of factors, like ease of use, the SaaS-based model, and number of handy features. This was important for a company that was just starting their project management journey, and Stefan was able to lead the way forward.
Today, he says his favorite feature hands-down is automation, which he calls an absolute time-saver.
"Using automation for 'cutover projects' has saved project managers leading high volume projects with extremely tight timelines many hours of communication via email, social media, internal collaboration tools, meetings, and more," Stefan says. "One single point of truth for everyone involved is exactly what you need when touching every part of your processes and IT environment."
As an advocate in the Community, Stefan says that he relied on members here quite a bit when he was trying to learn INDEX&MATCH, and specifically thanks @Paul Newcome and @Andrée Starå for their help. "I feel very comfortable in the Community, as it's a go-to for discussions, learning, inspiration, and getting different perspectives on problems I'm trying to solve," Stefan says.
When Stefan isn’t at work or chatting it up in the German Global Discussion topic, he enjoys his many passions, including sailing, dragon boat paddling, traveling, hiking, board games, and working in his community through education and sports club training.
Thank you Stefan for all that you do!
