Why Software Solutions Made in Germany?

Fraunhofer IESE's assessment on the importance of German software products:

The advantages of German software lie in its quality, innovation, and security. German software companies are known for their thorough testing and quality control, which ensures that products meet the highest quality standards. 

These extensive testing procedures are an essential part of German development processes and form the backbone of software quality. 

Germany stands not only for quality, but also for innovation. The German software industry is known for its ability to constantly evolve and set new standards. A key factor in Germany's innovative strength is its extensive focus on research and development (R&D). 

German companies invest considerable resources in R&D to stay one step ahead and develop new technologies. These investments are crucial for maintaining competitiveness in the global market. Through continuous innovation, German software companies can tap into new market niches and remain at the forefront of technological developments.

Relationship between IT/OT system landscape and your business goals

ITOT

The integration of IT/OT systems (IT/OT convergence) enables real-time data exchange and thus contributes to increased efficiency and improved decision-making in process automation. The IT/OT infrastructure encompasses all physical and virtual components – hardware, software, and networks, both on-premises and at the edge or in the cloud – for the deployment and operation of digital applications and thus for the smooth running of business processes. 

If even a single cog in this gear fails, the entire system can fail. Numerous hack attacks prove this statement every day.

Good preparation for cyber resilience therefore means keeping the company's IT/OT system landscape as transparent and up-to-date as possible. This primarily includes comprehensive management, regular maintenance, and detailed monitoring of the entire IT/OT environment. Vulnerabilities should be identified and remediated early in compliance with corporate standards and security policies to ensure optimal performance of the overall system and prevent corporate goals from being jeopardized by system outages. 

The integration of IT and OT systems (also known as IT/OT convergence) enables real-time data exchange, thus contributing to increased efficiency and improved decision-making in process automation. It is therefore important to establish regular maintenance cycles for both IT and OT systems.
