InfoCom

The InfoCom industries are not only driven by "internal" challenges or the crunch in the advertising markets, but also by the convergence of all TIMES industries

• Telco - Share in the internet revolution
  
  The telecommunication landscape is changing dramatically: wireless is stagnating, creating demand for new applications to increase ARPU. Fixed line carriers and traditional hardware suppliers are suffering from drastic price declines and new competitors, while technological convergence, WLAN and the ongoing internet revolution are creating new opportunities and threats.
• Media - Manage the change and convergence in the media industry
  
  The media and content industries are equally affected by the technological changes - which are not only brought about by the internet: e.g. publishing companies are seeking new distribution opportunities for their print copies, like print-on-demand. TV groups are "going digital" along their whole value chain, especially in the various distribution channels. And book publishers are trying to build up a stronger relationship with retailing chains through joint CRM activities.
  
  But aside those technologically driven transformation changes, the whole media industry is facing a significant downturn in advertising expenditure. The need for innovative business models is growing, and only those will stay in the game, who understand to create premium content and present unique, individual products to both consumers and advertising clients.

Functional focus

• Information Management
  
  Information and communication technologies are developing rapidly. The increase of computing power, memory capacity and communication bandwidth with concurrent reduced prices provides new opportunities to improve the business of companies in all industries.
  
  The Competence Center Information Management takes a holistic view of these opportunities. Based on the sound knowledge of the most recent trends in the technological development and comprehensive experiences from successful projects we are designing future oriented strategies that work.
  
  We are dedicated to support our clients in improving their traditional business and setting up new businesses to strengthen their competitiveness in the market, lower their costs and thus increase their shareholder value.
