Germany is a land of digital dinosaurs—a source of shame for Achim Berg, president of the country’s largest digital association, Bitkom, who didn’t mince words in his keynote at Bechtle Competence Day 2020. In his brutally honest analysis of the state of digitalisation in administration, businesses and in our private lives, Achim Berg stresses how digitalisation is a matter for each and every one of us.

At the Bechtle IT System House in Karlsruhe, my focus in the Modern Workplace division is therefore on these two technologies. In joint discussions, I help companies to use the technologies efficiently and profitably so that they offer added value for their processes and employees.

Freiburg is one of those places people always say is beautiful and where the sun always shines. In fact, it’s pretty easy to wax lyrical about Germany’s southernmost city and no other place comes close to Freiburg’s magnificent landscape and picturesque old town with its labyrinthine alleyways and happy, bicycling residents. What can we say? It’s true. Freiburg really is beautiful.

We know, Frankfurt doesn’t have the best reputation. The city located on the banks of the River Main is seen as boring and ugly, the inhabitants small-minded and the night life practically non-existent. Maybe Frankfurt is the kind of city that grows on people, slowly stealing their hearts. Because no matter what you’ve heard, Frankfurt is warm and welcoming.

Karlsruhe – Motor of Digitization. This is the slogan of Baden-Württemberg’s second largest city. There is no doubt that Karlsruhe is a powerhouse in the IT sector, where some 4,400 companies, 10,000 students, 30,000 jobs and ten start-up centres connected to the industry are at home. And let’s not forget, it was also the first German city to receive an e-mail on 2 August 1984. In other words, Karlsruhe is buzzing, and Bechtle has been a firm fixture in the city since 1995. In addition to a wide portfolio of IT solutions, there is a New Work showroom, a competence centre, and a training centre.

Now order is coming into the discussion. Until now, opinions on artificial intelligence have often hovered at the extremes: Science fiction-inspired horror scenarios on the one hand, saviors for humanity's global problems on the other. There's no doubt about it: AI polarizes. And meanwhile, the technology of the future is creeping more and more into our everyday lives and our working world.

Back in March 2020, as the COVID-19 lockdown was announced, many administrations and businesses were suddenly faced with the challenge of equipping their employees for working from home. Within a short time, the market had been stripped of IT equipment and many people learned to appreciate the value of used hardware. From a sustainability point of view, the spotlight has been increasingly turned on remarketing products, a topic we recently discussed with Alexander Thiele, Managing Director of Bechtle Remarketing GmbH in Wesel.
