Landau, January 9, 2013 - Karl-Martin Haaf accepted the position of managing partner at wiora Channel Partners, a network of IT business professionals which helps IT vendors to enter new markets.

In his new position, he assumes responsibility for the entire operative business of the channel-oriented consulting business unit within wiora Software GmbH and will have a strong focus on the growth of the business across Europe.
