-We store more than 1.8000TByte of data, which corresponds to 18.000 km of books, volume which has more than tripled since 2004
- Each day we process more than 10 million transactions in the private banking section with more than 5 million online banking trans-actions
- Each day we have 5.6 million e-mails; the number of e-mails saved has risen by the factor 16 since 2002
• Pressure on Europe from America and Asia regarding the need of
“IT-Professionals”
• Motivation for mobility of “IT-Professionals” required
• Skill shortages in some countries of Europe
=>“Blue Card” Visa scheme
• ICT-industry innovates very fast, skill profiles are changing accordingly
• ICT is applied among different specialist domains, requiring interdisciplinary
educated professionals
• Business internationalisation requires professionals able to deal with different
cultures and organizational structures
• Business internationalisation makes the definition of standards for
“IT-Professionals” necessary
New Skill Requirements through ICT
What is the optimal balance between — IS departments as „service departments“?— IS departments as unique core competence centers?
Is the (M)IS and business informatics discipline a discipline on its own?
Do we need to „sell“ our discipline or is it „self-selling“?
