Operating practical course at Novasoft of
Florian Eyring
On 03rd March 2007 I began an operating practical course at
the company Novasoft in Malaga for 4 weeks.
The holding company of Novasoft is domiciled in Madrid.
Training courses in various Microsoft and Cisco
certificates, software and hardware support as well as
security controlling of external companies are services the
branch in the PTA performs. During my time at Novasoft I
had one primary project. Apart from this I helped with
smaller things that did not belong to this project. At
Novasoft you find all
current information because the portfolio of the company
grows constantly.
My project at Novasoft was the configuration and
installation of 3 class rooms as well as a server inclusive
wiring. Two of the class rooms were developed with
altogether 24 new computers, monitors and input devices and
the third area had 15 Notebooks. As software Windows XP,
Windows of 2003 servers and Linux Ubuntu were used. The
operating systems of Microsoft additionally got the Office
2003 software pack with Visio, MS Project and One Note. My
workplace was a large, air-conditioned area in that some
test servers, a large work table and test equipment was
positioned.
My contact person was Mr. Miguel, who spoke English
relatively good. Mr. Sanchez, the executive of the IT
department, was my person in charge. He also spoke English
but I did not deal often with him, because I mostly was at
my workplace.
My co-workers went to breakfast each morning so that I also
was integrated into the team directly. The mood of the
co-workers was generally good and they let me take part of
it. But you also should know some Spanish words because you
often push to the border of the English knowledge on both
sides. During my stay in Malaga a small Hexaglot
translation computer helped me to conquer the linguistic
barrier.
Finally I only can recommend the operating practical course
at Novasoft to everyone. Not only the work but also the
interpersonal contact between me and my co-workers coined
my life significantly!
