The Chair of Application Systems and E-Business deals with the design of modern business application systems, the implementation of these systems and their operation. Therein, the beneficial effects associated with IT-based solutions are of particular interest.



When designing company or inter-company application systems, the question is how new algorithms, new technical possibilities, changed processes, changed integration or a new organizational alliance can be used to improve solutions or to further automate the existing situation in a sensible manner or to offer completely new solutions or business models. In this, it is not only the concept that is important to us, it's also about evaluating the changes that come with it.

The focus point of the introduction of application systems lies in how the introduction and / or migration process can be designed to be as efficient and successful as possible. From this it is also possible to derive conclusions about advantageous software architectures (service-oriented architecture, software as a service, etc.) and operating forms for application systems (for example application service providing, cloud computing).

Mostly, when operating the application systems, analysis for the use, acceptance and effects of the IT solutions are in the foreground. Herein, the methods of the examinations are strongly empirically oriented.
