paluno - The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology

In increasingly more enterprises business processes depend on IT support. The automation and mobilization of processes and applications is on the rise: often only expert's activities are left as manual tasks. Enterprises increasingly transform into digital enterprises. Here, information technology becomes one of the key drivers of innovation. In this context, IT-engineering aims at the focused support of functional departments. Information technology needs to dynamically support changing business models and value chains and must open an evolutionary path from legacy application landscapes to modern structures.

With seven professors an 80 research associates paluno offers digital enterprises extensive theoretical support in the areas Requirements Engineering, Specifications, Software Architecture, and the mobilization of existing application landscapes. paluno emphasizes the importance of methodical discussions in the world of enterprises. Only this way enterprises succeed at transferring knowledge from research into practice. 

Workshops, reviews, coaching of our industry partners, and the support of continuous learning within our CampusLab as well as the creation of studies and software prototypes are proven concepts of cooperation.
