Aspects

Characteristics of our cus­to­mers:

Size and markets

They are (very) lar­ge and are in­ter­na­tio­nal­ly ac­ti­ve, or they ha­ve me­dium to small si­ze.

Regard­less of their si­ze they are of­fe­ring their pro­ducts in in­ter­na­tio­nal mar­kets.

Importance of the IT

In the in­for­ma­tion tech­no­lo­gy (IT) they see one of the main pro­duc­tion and ma­na­ge­ment means.

Experience with IT

They typically use IT sys­tems for years now. IT is ubi­qui­tous with­in their com­pa­nies.

Independence

They want to keep their in­for­ma­tion stocks in their own hands.

They mainly ope­ra­te their own IT in­fra­struc­tu­res. Mo­re and mo­re they are al­so using se­lec­ted ser­vi­ces from ex­ter­nal sup­pli­ers.

Interoperation

Increasingly, their IT sys­tems in­ter-ope­ra­te with tho­se of sup­pli­ers and cus­to­mers.

Internally too, they let their systems interoperate more and more.

Security

Some of them have very high de­mands re­gar­ding the re­li­abi­li­ty of their sys­tems, the avai­la­bi­li­ty, con­trol­led ac­cess, and da­ta pro­tec­tion.

They under­stand that se­cu­ri­ty can on­ly be en­su­red when view­ing tech­ni­cal in­fra­struc­tu­re, ar­chi­tec­tu­re, im­ple­men­ta­tion of the IT sys­tems, the or­ga­ni­za­tio­nal and hu­man as­pects, and the pro­ces­ses all to­ge­ther.

IT life cycles

They make a clear dis­tinc­tion be­tween long-li­fe co­re com­po­nents and au­xi­li­ary com­po­nents re­qui­red in the short term.

Economy

IT expense / benefit ra­tes are as re­le­vant as they are for other means of pro­duc­tion.

They com­bi­ne exis­ting com­po­nents, use IT sys­tems and ap­pli­ca­tions avai­la­ble on the mar­ket. But they al­so are de­ve­lo­ping soft­ware them­sel­ves if they so can achie­ve a com­pe­ti­ti­ve ad­van­ta­ge.

Sectors

They are ac­ti­ve in these sec­tors:

  • Finance and in­su­ran­ce
  • Manufacturing
  • Informatics (pro­vi­ders, con­sul­tants)
  • Public ad­mi­ni­stra­tion
  • Public uti­li­ties
  • Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tion
  • Tourism
