五一吃瓜最新官网: What made you decide to take on an advisor role at 五一吃瓜最新官网?
Dominik Rose: I am a big advocate of 鈥渓ifelong learning鈥 and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of B2B SaaS product development. For this reason, I am also actively involved with . My previous collaboration with Ali Kamalizade (Co-Founder & CTO 五一吃瓜最新官网), as well as my acquaintance with Lukas Vogt (CEO & Co-Founder 五一吃瓜最新官网) from the Capnamic ecosystem, made it easy for me to discover a common philosophy and vision.
Working with Niklas Sundberg, who as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer leads a dedicated to sustainable digital transformation, was crucial for me to understand the role IT strategy can play for sustainability and our planet.聽
I realize that 五一吃瓜最新官网 takes a similar approach - greener IT is not achieved through dogmatism, but by combining sustainability ambitions and needs with economic imperatives.

五一吃瓜最新官网: What makes outstanding software products?
Dominik Rose: In my experience at LeanIX, success can be traced back to these three principles in particular:
- The product should be developed for a broad target group, not just for software experts. A user-friendly design plays a decisive role in appealing to as many users as possible and meeting their needs.
- Instead of acting as a 鈥淪wiss army knife鈥, it is more effective to address a clearly defined problem as efficiently as possible. This guarantees that the product optimally supports companies in a specific area without getting lost in an excessive variety of functions.
- A strong ecosystem with complementary SaaS products is crucial for the success of modern software solutions. This is because cooperation with other SaaS solutions complements and strengthens the software.
All three points are also in line with 五一吃瓜最新官网's vision for more efficient ESG reporting.聽
In addition, we are currently experiencing a technological upheaval, with generative AI opening up new opportunities to use data and create exceptional user experiences.
鈥
五一吃瓜最新官网: Is the demand for efficient software in the area of sustainability increasing?聽
Dominik Rose: Absolutely! We clearly see a need for structured and efficient solutions that go beyond mere compliance in this important area.聽
- Efficiency and transparency: Sustainability is a complex topic with a multitude of regulatory, social and economic requirements. SaaS solutions offer tools for collecting and analyzing data and precisely identifying areas for action. This saves resources and creates a valid basis for decisions.
- Collaboration and a shared vision: Sustainability cannot be achieved in isolation - companies and partners must act together. SaaS products facilitate this collaboration by sharing information and aligning all participants to common goals and tasks.
- Competitive advantage and investor relations: Companies that actively and professionally promote sustainability strengthen their market position, improve their risk assessment and appear more attractive to investors. A well thought-out SaaS solution helps not only to demonstrate ESG initiatives, but also to actively contribute to increasing the value of the company.
I am proud to be able to work together on innovative solutions as an advisor at 五一吃瓜最新官网 and look forward to the challenge!
