    I like the variety of challenges that still exist after more than 10 years of working on UCS. I like seeing both the product and the technologies and processes evolve for the better. I like seeing how Univention manages to successfully balance the spectrum of customer and market requirements and bridge the gap between long-term stability requirements from the customer side and new technological challenges on the other side.
