Olaf Slomp
- Head of Data Quality, KPN Data & Analytics
Mahmoud worked for us, implementing the DataHub Data Catalog, as part of a initially a two person engineer team, and later all by himself. He did a great job in getting the system working, connecting it to all relevant systems, getting all relevant data into it and supporting the implementation in the organization, such that people actually started using the Data Catalog. This has been a very successful implementation, outperforming the expected results, giving KPN easy and complete insight into its Data landscape. Mahmoud is engineer that does not just implement the system, but plays a very active role in promoting the system and looking for potential. new opportunities and improvements. It has been een pleasure working with him.
