In this month’s user spotlight blog, we’re talking to Mark du Toit, a Solutions Engineer here at Nintex.
What is your current role and some career background?
Solution Engineer, 3yrs, and I have played various roles within the Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Management fields, including (but not limited to), Principal Consultant, Solution Designer, Solution Engineer, Domain Architect, etc.
Which Nintex Product are you most passionate about and why?
Process Manager and Nintex Workflow, because I get to define processes and get customer buy-in using Process Manager, and then automate those workflows using Nintex Workflow… to see them come to life!
What do you enjoy most about answering Community questions?
I like the sense of community and supporting fellow process aficionados, it’s never great struggling on your own, and knowing that you have a community you can lean on for advice is awesome.
Is there any advice you would give to users learning Nintex?
Just keep trying… bump your head, fail fast, fail forward. The only way you truly learn how something works is by struggling with it first, building up your library of experience. Sometimes you have to reach out to others, but I encourage you to try until you honestly feel like you’ve exhausted all avenues.
What's one thing — either industry-related or not — you learned in the last month?
Probably that I have forgotten more things in my lifetime than what I have learned in the past few years. Doing homework with my son has taught me how much I have forgotten! 😉
What's something about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?
I have driven Porsches around the Kyalami race track in Johannesburg.
