A new consulting partner and representative for French speaking TMS/Delphi users : Thierry Laborde



The goal of our consulting partner network was from day one to have local experts speaking the same language and being in the same timezone available for consulting to Delphi developers using TMS components and tools. Since its inception, we work closely together with 5 partners in 5 different areas and speaking at least 5 different languages. We are proud to announce today our new consulting partner and representative for the french speaking TMS/Delphi community: Thierry Laborde!

Thierry is no unknown in the Delphi world. Thierry has been a Delphi developer for more than 20 years, since Delphi 1 (and even previously on Pascal and Turbo Pascal) as well as a project leader in different French companies in many different software domains:
Accounting, payroll, gambling casino, retail, access control, advertising, bank, health…

But Thierry was obviously most visible to Delphi developers in France as technical manager of Embarcadero Developer tools in France at ArrowEcs Company (The Embarcadero distributor in France) for 6 years and later as Embarcadero Country Manager for France for less than 3 years. Thierry has been at Delphi roadshows all over France, gave numerous presentations, organised webinars and wrote blog articles.

Thierry Laborde was Delphi Developer certified as well as Delphi Master Developer certified in 2011.

What might be less known to Delphi developers and TMS component users, is that Thierry created the foundation of what became the TMS VCL WebGMaps product and Thierry collaborated on the TMS MultiTouch SDK project. It goes without saying that Thierry has a deep expertise not only in Delphi application development but also in component development.

As such, we are confident that in his role as consulting partner and representative, Thierry will be able to assist French speaking developers with even the most challenging Delphi projects getting the most out of the TMS components or recommend the right components for the job.

Without a doubt, these are exciting times for Delphi developers & TMS component and tools user in France. We are thrilled that the deep Delphi & TMS components expertise and skills from our long-time friend are available again for French speaking customers. Not only can French developers hire Thierry’s expertise, but Thierry will also facilitate that customer feedback, needs, request, … are communicated to the team to improve and extend our products. Reach out to Thierry via france@tmssoftware.com.

At the same time, we would like to take the opportunity to mention that we still wish to extend our consulting partner network, foremost in the Asia area, Australia, Canada, South Africa. If you are Delphi developer with TMS component expertise and offering consulting services, get in touch and we will be happy to discuss how we can move forward.
