Center of Information-, Knowledge- and Service-Management

The institute is a center for scientific research and technology transfer in the areas of information, knowledge and service management. In particular there is a close relationship with the University of Leipzig regarding new scientific/technological methods and procedures based on research results and their conversion to working solutions.
The institute operates competence centers, which are related to the specific academic research fields of the represented university professors. At present these consist of the center for meta data and terminology (KMT) and the competence center service engineering and management (KSEM).
The institute co-operates with public and private clients in the context of scientific-technologic projects.
