Future Programmers Visit NaN-tic and Infinitum Projects

Students from the Higher Vocational Training programme in Multiplatform Application Design at IES Sabadell wanted to experience first-hand what goes on at Infinitum Projects, the technology-company hub where NaN-tic operates. The visit to the facilities was complemented by three talks aimed at explaining the career opportunities offered by the IT sector, the profile of the twenty-first-century worker, and the challenges involved in programming and implementing an ERP in a company. The activity was organised as part of the Database and Entrepreneurial Initiative modules, which include a specific subject on ERP.

Antonio Herrero is the general manager of TechClass Academy, a company that offers an online training platform for employees, customers, distributors, franchisees, or any other external party of a company. He explained to the students from IES Sabadell the wide range of professional opportunities the market offers to IT students. This information was complemented by Jordi Mercader, founding partner of Infinitum Projects, the technology-project accelerator where NaN-tic operates, and founder and general manager of the consultancy Mercaconsult. Mercader explained what is expected of technology professionals and which skills they need to build a successful career.

Finally, Albert Cervera, founding partner of NaN-tic, focused his talk on ERP systems and open source. Albert used the design of a database as a starting point to explain how a company’s information should be structured so that it can be analysed and its processing automated through an ERP. The need to understand how a company is organised and the benefits of using modular structures in software solutions were other key points highlighted during the talk.
