Up-to-date technical facilities are essential for business informatics. Thus outdated hardware and software is routinely replaced in the laboratories (at least once a semester). The IT infrastructure was completely renewed in summer 2019. Mobile end-devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets) are also part of our labs. We have an extensive Internet of Things infrastructure.

In 2018, professors founded the Institute of Digital Change. The main driver of this initiative was the Business Information Systems professor Prof. Dr. Wolfram Höpken. The core task of the institute is to promote all research activities in the field of digitalisation. For companies, the institute is a central point of contact on the subject of digitalisation. Joint research projects with companies, contract research and the implementation of student projects and work are coordinated centrally here.

The Faculty of Business Informatics has a special contact point for questions and assistance regarding business start-ups. A regular lecture on business start-ups is also offered. The start-up culture joint study and teaching project is located in our department. At the university there is the student association “kreakt!v”, which advises companies from the region as well as carrying out pro bono projects with start-ups. The start-up lab is a building block for an active start-up culture at the university as part of the GROW project.
