Business Informatics

Über:

The increasing digitalisation of all business areas requires experts who have the capability to design and technically implement innovative socio-technical systems and dispose at the same time of profound knowledge of business and economic aspects. The widely established field of business informatics provides solutions for these challenges. For this purpose, business informatics develops its own methods for aligning business and societal requirements with technical systems. It reverts to concepts from computer science, business and economics as well as adjacent areas. Besides a solid training in computer science, experts in business informatics have solid expertise in business aspects. Furthermore, they use methods such as enterprise modeling for ensuring the structured design, development and deployment of digital business models and the necessary technical systems.
