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."

Karlsruhe students become business angels

All the finalists can consider themselves winners of this
competition. itelligence is offering them individual support in
developing their business cases. Professor Carsten Hahn has invited
them to an expert panel discussion on the campus of Karlsruhe
University of Applied Sciences. Students doing an MA in
Entrepreneurship have been called upon to contribute their expertise
to help the innovations succeed, as the start-up expert announced:
"With the IoT initiative, itelligence is enabling the participants to
implement digitalization step by step. Following on from the
discussion about numerous exciting project applications, I am pleased
that both platform ideas and specific IoT digitization cases will
receive support. I shall be glad to follow and assist itelligence's
further activities in this area with my students."
