The challenge of business informatics

The ongoing development Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is challenging many aspects of today’s business and management. Although there is a impressive supply of various information systems and product software, problems remain with the development, delivery, adoption, implementations of IT solutions into usable and effective systems that truly mirror and support organizational processes. For example: how can companies gain information about new markets and business partners through e-commerce? How can product software be delivered to optimize its implementation and use, taking the alignment with the companies’ strategy, tactics and operations into account? Solving this type of problems is the core competence of our Master in Business Informatics (MBI).
