Former SAP Developers at the Helm for XFT
It’s important to stand up for certain beliefs. For years, the four executive managers at XFT were in charge of developing central core components at SAP. But at the start of the millennium, it was clear that SAP wanted to shift its focus. For these four employees, it was clear that document management was still a decisive driver of digital business processes – and must remain closely connected with SAP technology.
This philosophy led to the foundation of the software company XFT in early 2002. The founders still run the company today – with the same values and drive as back then.

Dr. Torsten Fenske leads the development department at XFT alongside Dr. Norbert Schroeder. He is also responsible for quality management. In this dual role, he ensures that XFT innovations meet the highest standards from the outset. Software logistics and human resources are also part of Fenske’s duties.
Volker Kohlstetter
Sales, consulting and marketing at XFT are run by Volker Kohlstetter. He works closely with his team members to ensure that every offer can be carried out under realistic terms.

As well as leading the development of the product, he also headed the product management for business processes technology at SAP for several years.
