How to get out of the compliance trap while future-proofing the digital transformation of business processes
Do you sometimes get the impression that we are bureaucratizing ourselves to death? Then you're not alone.
Understandably, we can't do without laws and rules, certainly not in a culture for which freedom and democracy are core values. But the more complex our challenges become, the more complex the necessary set of rules also becomes. Digitalization clearly demonstrates this to us. Under these circumstances, one can equally talk oneself to death and spontaneously fall into resistance against everything because it affects one's own comfort zone. But change is a necessary development process that involves leaving this comfort zone. [Article only available in German]


DSGVO - Respectful handling or scaremongering
How sustainability, transparency and commitment can be lived in practice
On 25.05.2018, the new EU Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) came into force. Hundreds of articles have already been written about it. Everyone is talking about it, some have already taken action, others are letting it slide. Rarely has the threat of a fine been formulated so early and clearly, and it affects companies and private individuals alike. There is a fine line between respectful behavior and the associated action on the one hand and perceived scaremongering on the other.

EIM - The Path to Intelligent Information Management
Dr. Ulrich Kampffmeyer can be declared as the "forefather" of the clear positioning of the term "Enterprise Information Management". Perhaps a little too far ahead 20 years ago, IT not yet at the height of his IT future visions, but instead always with pragmatic expertise, critical questioning and, above all, as a trendsetter never tire of steadfastly addressing definitions, gaps or risks. A man who leads the way on new issues, with clarity and an alert mind. He answers our questions in an interview with a hopefully wide angle for the "digital transformation" and EIM.
On the way to the paperless office
Awardee 2015: Universitätsklinikum Köln

Automation of the processing of incoming invoices and invoice verification was introduced with the introduction of the tangro IM software. Thanks to this system, the university hospital has made good progress towards a paperless office and efficient business processes.


Procedure documentation for document management
- necessary or just an ornamental accessory?
In many companies, the topic of procedural documentation is not dealt with at all or only very superficially, even though the requirement for procedural documentation is specified in GoBD, BASEL II, SOX as well as ISO 9001 and the maturity model of ISO 90004 / CMMI. The responsibility for the DMS and compliance with legal requirements is borne by the company at all times, as Dr. Stefan Spitz, TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH and Dr. Klaus-Peter Elpel, Consultec Dr. Ernst GmbH emphasize.
