A modern workplace is essential for flexibility and the rapid integration of new technologies, but it also harbours security risks. An effective security strategy must be flexible and quickly adaptable in order to integrate new technologies and ensure data and access security.

Sustainability in IT is no longer a niche topic. More and more IT managers are making a public commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the IT for which they are responsible. This blog post provides an overview of specific aspects that should not be missing from a holistic green IT strategy.

Metadata-driven data pipelines are a game changer for data processing in companies. These pipelines use metadata to dynamically update processes instead of manually revising each step every time a data source changes. As with data pipelines, metadata maintenance can be a bottleneck in the maintenance and further development of a pipeline framework. In this blog post, I use practical examples to show how the Jsonnet template language makes it easier to maintain metadata.

The Cucumber Framework is a powerful open-source tool that is used as part of Behaviour Driven Development. By using a common language, it enables collaboration between non-technical and technical team members. This blog post provides an overview of the basic concepts and features of the Cucumber Framework.

Sustainability is crucial for the long-term success of companies. ESG factors have become a key evaluation criterion for companies and investors.

European legislators have imposed strict regulation on the digital space in recent years. In addition to the much-discussed EU IoT Act, other important regulations such as the Data Governance Act and the Data Act have come into force. The Data Act in particular has attracted special attention due to its impact on IoT device manufacturers, service providers and start-ups. The Data Act, which entered into force on 11 January 2024, will apply from September 2025. In my blog post, I discuss its objectives, effects and requirements for all stakeholders.
