Interesting Facts

    • in non-IT companies

    - in the IT sector
    - in specialist departments that work closely with IT and/or rely heavily on IT

    • Line or project responsibility in IT companies (IT service providers and IT manufacturers)
    • Specialist responsibility in an IT management area in IT and non-IT companies (e.g. IT architecture management, IT service management, vendor management, IT security management)

    • Trading companies
    • Technology companies
