As the central IT institution of RWTH Aachen University, the IT Center makes a significant contribution to the effective, efficient, and secure operation of the university’s IT infrastructure. As an integral part of a technical university with a focus on teaching, research and infrastructure, our primary goal is to develop IT service management processes that are adapted to the specific requirements and needs of RWTH Aachen University. In this context, the university development plan also plays an important role for the IT Center, as it not only forms the basis for RWTH’s strategic development planning, but also significantly influences the direction and further development of the IT Center.

The IT Center management once again invited to the IT Center Oktoberfest on September 29, 2023, after a long break due to Covid. Parallel to the Munich role model, people enjoyed themselves in typical Tracht, Bavarian specialties, and lots of good humor.
The IT Center party team organized the party for employees, trainees, student assistants and alumni. Traditional decorations, a beer cart, music, and lights created a great atmosphere. Although the weather was not ideal in the meantime, the participants were not impressed by this and continued to celebrate in a good mood.

Central tasks include the provision of a reliable and high-performance communications infrastructure to safeguard the university’s research, teaching and administrative operations.
In order to relieve the employees, a quality management system (QMS) was introduced, which was accredited according to ISO 9001 for the first time this year.
You can find out in this blog post what exactly the QMS is used for and how the ISO 9001 certification took place.
