Extended ECM Consultant

Savannah works at X-Center on the functional side of IT projects. She serves as the link between customer needs and technical solutions, drawing her energy from understanding people. In her story, she explains why listening is just as important as technical knowledge, how integrity and team spirit shape the culture, and why IT as a field is much broader than the stereotypes often hold.

The power of listening and understanding

In her day-to-day work, Savannah spends a lot of time sitting down with customers. She discusses what they want to achieve and thinks about how this can be realised technically and functionally. What she enjoys most is the moment when everything comes together. A customer shares their story, and as she listens, a picture of the possible solution starts to form. Not only what needs to be built, but also how it can be done.

That translation requires more than knowledge alone. It is about truly listening, asking follow-up questions, and posing the right questions to arrive at the best solution together. Savannah finds it special to see how her insights help customers move forward. Hearing afterwards that customers are genuinely happy with what has been delivered gives her great satisfaction. That feeling of truly helping someone is at the core of her work.

Working in IT requires people skills.

IT is often seen as a world of hardcore programmers and “full-on nerds,” but Savannah emphasises that IT is much more than just coding. Especially in her role, communication, overview, and connecting different disciplines are key. You switch between the interests of users, the organisation as a whole, and what is technically possible, while keeping the bigger picture in mind. That helicopter view and those people skills are essential to running projects smoothly.
There is therefore a real need for roles where organisational skills, empathy, and communication are central. Roles where different talents come together. This makes IT a versatile field in which many more people can recognise themselves than is often assumed. It is an accessible working environment for a wide range of profiles and talents.

Diversity at X-Center: more roles, more perspectives

Whether you are technically, functionally, or organisationally oriented, there is room to grow in a way that suits you. X-Center believes that diversity in profiles and perspectives leads to better solutions, stronger teams, and greater job satisfaction. This culture, where everyone can be themselves and feels valued, is something we consciously nurture and strengthen every day.

I am especially proud of the culture at X-Center: the team spirit, the integrity, and how people truly support one another

Culture, integrity, and team spirit

What Savannah particularly values at X-Center is the culture. She experiences the company as honest, committed, and people-centred. Colleagues are there for one another, and collaboration feels natural. The sense of team goes beyond working together on content alone. There is genuine interest in each other and space to be yourself.
Although it is often said that work and private life should remain separate, X-Center still feels a bit like family to Savannah. Not because it has to, but because that is what naturally grows when people feel safe and appreciated.

A workplace where you can be yourself

For Savannah, X-Center represents a work environment where you are not pushed into a box. You can grow in a way that fits who you are. That freedom not only makes the work intellectually interesting but also gives you the space to shape your work in your own way.
She is proud of the culture and the team, where everyone plays their own role and brings their own strengths. It is precisely this diversity of perspectives and talents that enables X-Center to deliver strong solutions and maintain long-term customer relationships.
