Emmen, Switzerland, August 16, 2017
ALSO and CANCOM are supporting a new part-time course of
study for IT project and process management at the Hochschule
Augsburg.
"Digitalization poses challenges for society and companies that
can only be addressed with the help of professionals. We see a
great need for experts who are able to understand and facilitate
complex and multi-layered IT processes. The new course of study,
'IT project and process management', focuses on the demands of the
future related to the Cloud, Big Data, and IoT," said Gustavo
Möller-Hergt, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN).
In October 2017, the part-time certificate course for IT project
and process management will be launched for the first time at the
Hochschule Augsburg. Five ALSO employees, including three from
Germany and two from Switzerland, will be among the first students
of this course. As part of its commitment, ALSO is also awarding
one full scholarship to an employee from the ALSO Network Partner
company eyeti systems + solutions GmbH & Co. KG. The Hochschule
Augsburg will also welcome six employees from its supporter CANCOM
for the first year of the new course.
"It is important to us to offer our employees professional
advancement opportunities that will help them to tackle the
challenges of the future. Given our experience from many client
projects, we understand that rising IT demands for companies entail
development opportunities for skilled employees against the
backdrop of digitalization," Rudolf Hotter, COO of CANCOM SE,
explained the company's commitment.
The aim of the certificate course is to train participants in
the design, implementation and evaluation of complex IT processes
and architectures. Practical and implementation skills constitute
the core of the program. Concrete project work and case studies
also form an integral part of the studies. With an additional
semester, participants with a bachelor's degree have the
opportunity to continue on to earn a Master of Science.
"We want to offer experienced IT specialists as well as
bachelor's graduates the opportunity to equip themselves to
confront the growing challenges of networked operations. In doing
so, we will work closely with innovative companies that want to
offer their high-potential employees development opportunities
beyond those offered within their firms," explained Prof. Dr.
Clemens Espe, Chief Information Officer and Professor of Business
Informatics and Project Management at the Augsburg University of
Applied Sciences.
