Digital
Infrastructure

Critical for the success of innovative business models is an agile and digital infrastructure that enables the company to use technological levers profitably. Particularly in recent years, these new technologies have forced companies in all industries to take a critical look at their processes, organisations or IT architecture. Platforms and communities, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, Big Data and the opportunities associated with such or the developments in the area of artificial intelligence require a solid, secure and agile IT infrastructure as well as the corresponding agreements and licences with business partners and customers.

Cloud computing as a core enabler not only places high demands on the architecture and organisation of an enterprise, but also on security and data protection. IT sourcing as well as outsourcing are often projects that have a far-reaching impact on business processes and architectures. In addition, questions arise regarding software and licences or broadband expansion and 5G as current topics of the digital value chain.
