itelligence Crowns the German Digitalization Experts - Seite 2

Norbert Rotter, CEO of itelligence AG, praises the IoT competence of the competition entrants and welcomes future collaboration with them: "Innovative companies are currently setting the course towards IoT and are networking machines, means of production and logistics systems to create cyber-physical systems. The consultants at itelligence know the effects of these innovations on the process chain and are developing smart IoT solutions through co-innovations."

Digitalization pioneers point the way to innovation 

The digitalization campaign "itelligence of Things" assists companies along their journey into digitalization. Through a competition, itelligence and NTT DATA offered consulting services worth 50,000 euros each to two main winners. "Many companies are still underestimating the dynamics and value of digitalization," reports Hans Rauwolf, Head of Business Area Internet of Things (IoT) / Industry 4.0 at itelligence. "With the awards from this initiative, we seek to foster companies that gain competitive advantages through innovative steps."

The award ceremony took place at the "Companies of the Future" conference on December 6, 2018 in Ulm. The award jury comprised Dr. Carsten H. Hahn, a professor in the Faculty of Management Science and Engineering at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, as well as digitalization experts Stefan Eller, Hans Rauwolf, Tobias Wahner, and Mark Albrecht (all from itelligence AG). Together with Dr. Rüdiger Eichin (Research Director at SAP), Professor Carsten H. Hahn is also a co-initiator of project "Action Learning and Founding (ActiF)" at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.

The award competition was all about identifying scenarios for the Internet of Things (IoT) that would boost the efficiency of a business process. 25 applications were received by the deadline of October 31, ten of them very concrete ideas for IoT and/or Industry 4.0 projects. "We got to know a great variety of interesting projects in our digitalization competition," reported Dr. Andreas Pauls, Head of SAP Business Unit Germany at itelligence. "We intend to pursue several exciting ideas emerging from the competition."
