Professional Career
Matthias Heiler is an adjunct faculty member of the International University in Germany (Bruchsal) and an employee of SAP.
Since the early days of the IU Bruchsal (1999) he teaches different classes about SAP in general and SAP technology. He has recently organized additional courses at IU Bruchsal on SAP application modules like Customer Relationship (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM).
Due to the close distance between SAP’s headquarter in Walldorf and Bruchsal his goal is to attract even more SAP colleagues to teach at the International University courses about the cutting edge technology and the latest developments on SAP solutions. This way the International University can become a leading University in Germany about SAP.
Right now he builds up closer relationships to universities in the middle east region. His goal is to build up a long lasting relationship between thoses universities and the IU, offering an attractive portfolio on SAP courses and research for exchange students and permanent students.
Beside his teaching assigment at IU Bruchsal he is also guest lecturer at different international universities.
