Software-Cluster
One of the major challenges for the future
relates to software innovations, which, in view of the rapid development of the
Internet community, can strengthen the economic performance of companies and
their networks. Information and communication technology (ICT) is the decisive
driver behind product and process innovation, and digital companies dynamically
align their business models and processes with this.
The current basis for developing the business software of the future is the paradigm shift in the software industry towards open, service-oriented software platforms. The Internet of the future will allow digital companies to combine their services more easily and implement their business processes more quickly, more dynamically and more flexibly (Fig. 1). Furthermore, it will be possible to extend service functionalities by combining powerful solutions.

Strengthen the position of Germany’s economy – safeguard employment
Many globally renowned manufacturers of business software are located in Germany, which is one of the particular strengths of the German economy. However, a considerable amount of competition exists with, for example, powerful software companies and countries with large and strong IT economies, such as India. A strengthening of the important position held by the Germany economy in the business software sector, which includes the safeguarding of jobs in this area, is therefore one of the primary objectives. In view of these challenges, various companies and research institutes from this sector in Southwest Germany have joined forces to form the Software-Cluster.
In its capacitiy as IT security research and development specialist CASED is part of the cluster involving four universties, five universities of applied sciences, nine other research organizations and more than 350 companies.
