Curriculum Vitae for SAP S4/HANA:
František Honsa

I am a qualified manager and team leader of developers with 10 years of experience in Europe and the USA. I have worked on a couple of international assignments in SAP and other software packages. I have an excellent experience in data migration and software development. I have built a solid understanding of material management and production planning in a number of different industries. I am systematic and a good analyst able to find a problem and propose its solution.

Besides my full work engagement I also devote my leisure time to several hobbies. Lately, I have totally fallen for playing golf and web projects development with the social networking support, for example the portal "Co je v akci' I spend most of my leisure time on the golf course as well as on the Internet. I highly enjoy the fact that both my hobbies provides me with the opportunity to personally meet many interesting people and get to know new technologies while developing the portal.

My life has been going in happy spirit since my early childhood. I was born in a pub. There used to be dance parties, music, singing and so the place was full of energy. Perhaps my love to music is rooted here, especially playing the accordion , and passion to share happiness with my attitude for life just like the boys from Liverpool.

I was born as an optimist and so I consider everything "to be covered in the ray of sunshine", as my colleague says. When something goes wrong at work, I gladly come up with a joke or a funny gag to cheer up others.

Even though I might look serious on the photos, there´s deepest love to life and sense of humor behind my seemingly gloomy visage. To me humor and laughter comes always first. In particular I like IT jokes, for example this one:

Project Leader: Turning IT into a good craft

IT is relatively new and rapidly developing area which has grown in significance over past decades. Many IT projects suffer from huge part of imperfectly performed work due to this precipitous evolution. This leads to claims and additional change requests.The project usually misses standards yet each quality project should be based on such standards.

In most other areas the standards are clearly defined. If you had a house roof to be rebuilt, it is quite clear that no water leakages should be acceptable. In IT project reality though, most of the IT projects are leaking if not pouring through.

IT should be a craft in first place - a well performed craft. This fact should be learnt by young IT students from the very start of their education. That´s why I decided to participate in FIT ČVUT as well as to be professionally taking part in creation of best practises -standards that we should follow and expect.

I had the opportunity to work with Franta on many SAP implementations during my 5 years of working in the same company. During my journey from junior to a senior position, Franta has been a great mentor to me. I learned a lot not only on the technical side but also on a personal level. Whenever needed, I could turn to Franta, and his advice, not only in the field of ABAP programming and system integration, helped to significantly speed up my path to becoming an independent SAP consultant. Big thanks to František for his enthusiasm to share his life and technical experiences.(October 19, 2022)

I have worked with Frantisek on multiple projects where he has solved many complex situations, always in very professional manner. Frantisek always works with a goal in mind and never give ups. On top he is a great mentor, he is able to work together with junior colleagues and lead them through various situations in learning „how to“ do things in SAP. He is using combination of training examples and real cases through „on-the-job“ training in order to progress technical experience of his „students“. (November 7, 2022)

I had the pleasure of working with Frantisek Honsa as a consultant. I can say that in every respect he is a very reliable partner who can keep his word and act with sincerity of his own. His ability to absorb new stimuli and constructive criticism is admirable. I attribute this partly to his analytical skills, partly to the personal history of a man who, even as a recognized expert, does not play with anything and is still willing to learn new things, even outside his field. I have seen several times that he is able to correctly evaluate even a very complex problem, including numerous social, temporal, interdisciplinary, technical and functional connections. ” (December 19, 2015)
