IT management & digitization using the example of d. armed forces

Like other public institutions, the Bundeswehr is continuously modernizing its IT landscape in order to meet current and future challenges, accelerate processes and ensure national and international collaboration. A large number of projects and programs in recent years are intended to make IT services more agile, more standardized, more scalable and thus faster and more secure. What is needed for this is a sustainable and solidly positioned IT management. More than 250,000 people need to be networked and the IT of the Bundeswehr needs to be set up for the future.

As experts in digitization issues, Lieutenant General Michael Vetter, the IT consulting firm CONET and the authorities Spiegel addressed the question of how strategic IT management can be successful in the Bundeswehr and in public organizations in a partner webinar.
