The failure rate for IT projects is shockingly high. According to recent surveys, 17% are performing so badly that their very existence is under threat.
However, with the necessary know-how it is possible to be in control of this risk.The Institute of Business Information Technology is an application-oriented center of competence at the interface between business administration and information technology.
We conduct studies as well as research and development projects in various disciplines and the insight gained flows directly into degree and continuing education programs.
