The Webex Go-Live Is Coming Soon!
After a test phase lasting several months, the day has come: On November 2, 2023, the Webex application will be made available to all employees of RWTH Aachen University. In the long term, Webex is intended to replace the Jabber client, as Jabber is only being further developed to a limited extent.
But what exactly is Webex and how does it work? We would like to explain this to you in a total of three blog posts.
In this first post of the Webex series we talk in general about Webex and how the first steps are, so that you can use the app properly.

My IT Center – Your Gateway to Our Services
As the central IT facility of RWTH Aachen University, the IT Center provides you with a wide range of services and applications. But in the midst of these diverse offerings, it can be quite a challenge, especially for new users, to keep an overview. This is precisely where My IT Center comes in.
IT Center Oktoberfest 2023
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.
Certification of the Quality Management System
The IT Center at RWTh Aachen University is home to various divisions that are responsible for different subject areas. Among others, the Networks department, which is responsible for the operation and renewal of the centrally managed communication networks of RWTH.
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.

Extensions of RWTHonline
RWTHonline: The campus management system of RWTH supports the organization of studies and teaching. RWTHonline accompanies and helps you throughout the entire student life cycle, from application to graduation, and runs through many important processes with you. In addition to the more than 47,000 students, many of the RWTH’s 10,000 employees also use the system to organize their studies and teaching.
However, RWTHonline was not created at RWTH itself. It was not developed by RWTH Aachen University, but is based on a software solution developed at the Technical University of Graz. The instance running at RWTH Aachen is called RWTHonline.
Until now, the system could not be extended by ourselves, which meant that certain processes could not be tailored to RWTH Aachen University. There, one then had to be satisfied with makeshift solutions. This will now change!
For certain extensions to the system functionality, RWTH is now no longer dependent on the provider, but can implement these extensions itself in order to advance the digitization of workflows and processes at RWTH.
