Companies that want to stay ahead despite today's short-lived electronic tools have to focus their energies. The global enterprises' standard practice of filling IT departments with hard-hitting, innovative personnel who are under constant pressure to adapt in line with the globalisation process has long since replaced the development of basic software in the broadest sense.
Today's IT experts are involved in the development of relevant products, such as web 2.0 global business applications, which require a knowledge of international communication and content management.
"Always being one step ahead" is what gives students the strength to survive in the current market environment. The "research through development concept" necessitates a permanent commitment to the fields where developments are actually taking place.
The objective is to support international business processes with the assistance of effective IT tools giving consideration to the countries and cultures in which the processes are used.
International working necessitates an awareness of global business processes, industrial partners and the education sectors that exist in the countries in question.
Global working has to be experienced "in situ" and not with Google Earth. Visits to companies, institutions and educational institutes also provide insights into what kind of competition German business informatics graduates are up against in other countries.
