ISR Management

Provide Direction & Support

Executive Board, Management, and Department Heads

Our current success is attributable to ISR employees and their trust in an experienced management team. Since 1993, the ISR 'cockpit' has been steered with profound technical expertise and keen intuition. The Executive Board, Management, and Department Heads adeptly oversee the well-being of the company, its employees, and its clients. They prudently assess risks while also courageously pursuing new objectives, ensuring resilience in times of crisis.

Below, our management team introduces themselves from both a professional and personal perspective.

Chairman of the Executive Board

André Vogt

André Vogt has been the Chairman of the Executive Board at ISR since 2022, having joined from CENIT AG. In his role as head of the CENIT-EIM Group, which comprises CENIT AG, ISR Information Products AG, and mip GmbH, he has been responsible for Enterprise Information Management in the D-A-CH region and the USA for 12 years. 

His passion for client projects and their solutions led him early into consulting, making a professional entry into an internationally operating management consultancy in 1999 almost inevitable. He remains dedicated to Information Management to this day. Cross-industry contacts, projects, and innovative ideas drive his work in Data & Analytics and Document Logistics.

Andre Vogt

Personally, the Bielefeld native is interested in everything that can be driven: motorcycles, e-bikes, classic cars, and sports cars accompany his excursions and travels. Currently, his son, who also has a passion for automobiles, shapes André's leisure activities. André currently lives in Hamburg, where he enjoys good food and wine. He utilizes the proximity to the sea for family outings – often with classic cars.
From a sporting perspective, André is a 'fair-weather golfer,' and he has observed one thing: golf teaches humility – even after many years.

Executive Board

Manfred Merßmann

After studying computer science in Karlsruhe, Manfred moved to Münster and embarked on self-employment. Following several roles as a freelancer, the idea of founding a company was quickly realized. Manfred was convinced that topics related to digitalization and process automation would have a significant future and sought to expand these areas. The technology from FileNet (now IBM) and associated partnerships remain integral to the ISR portfolio to this day. Since the founding of ISR Information Products AG in 2000, Manfred has led the company alongside Bernd and is currently responsible for four of the five operational business units: Business Process Automation, SAP Information Management, Application Management, and Buildsimple , as well as internal IT.

Manfred developed a passion for sports early on – first for athletics and then for basketball. His shared passion for basketball with Bernd has endured to this day and is reflected in their close collaboration and support for the Uni-Baskets in Münster. Today, Manfred's athletic pursuits focus on a white ball, which still offers considerable resistance during golf. Beyond sports, he enjoys good food and a suitable wine with friends.

Mark Hommola

A 'Nordlicht' (Northerner) and native of Hamburg, Mark has been a key figure at ISR Information Products AG since 2011. Since 2016, he has been responsible for the Business Process Automation division, which he has co-led with Stefan in a strong dual leadership role since 2022.

Braunschweig has become his center of life; Mark has lived with his family in the 'Lion City' for many years.

In his private life, the word “outdoors” best describes Mark's interests, which, in addition to sports like running, cycling, and swimming, always include nature. A treadmill or an indoor pool are not for him; he prefers marathons through mountains and valleys, and a pristine lake or the sea for swimming.
This 'Nordlicht' (Northerner) repeatedly seeks the tranquility and vastness of Norway for extensive outback trips under the motto “the less, the better.” It's a welcome change from the otherwise digital and hectic daily routine. So, backpack on and off he goes…
