Innovative business models based on digital technologies are gradually conquering all areas of the private sector and public administration.
Intelligent services generate higher customer satisfaction and provide companies with decisive competitive advantages. Networked data-driven systems can integrate sensors, machines and vehicles thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), process large volumes of captured data using big data techniques, and gain new insights for human benefit with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Finding solutions for the secure application of information and communication technologies, together with the associated risk and crisis management, is an existential component of any organisation's information and communication infrastructure, taking into account both internal and external actors.
Future-oriented applications require a flexibly scalable, highly available and secure infrastructure. In addition to the cloud, blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) and decentralised storage solutions are playing an increasingly important role. They can protect distributed systems without central operators against external and internal attacks thanks to cryptographic methods. The applications built upon them enable, for example, tamper-proof records along supply chains, secure anonymous data exchange, the monetisation of economic assets, self-sovereign identities and much more.
Our Centre of Competence has a network of experts covering all important topics relating to blockchain and DLT, cryptography, cloud, big data, AI, robotics, Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) and IoT. We are pleased to support you in the analysis, conception and implementation of solutions for digitalised business models, from experimental research through to productive deployment.
The tasks of the Centre of Competence include:
- Analysis and conception for the implementation of innovative applications
- Identifying and continuously evaluating (new) technologies for digital applications
- Planning and building cloud infrastructures and blockchain networks
- Design and implementation of digitalised business processes
- Monitoring and optimisation of infrastructures and applications
- Development of concepts, models, methods and tools for risk analysis and the development of resilience strategies
- Research and development in subject areas relating to digital innovations
- Developing and disseminating best practices on a scientific basis through research, publication and organising/participating in congresses, symposia and seminars
