Cloud software has made companies more efficient, but at the same time has led them into new dependencies: By outsourcing core business systems, companies have not only relinquished control over infrastructure, but increasingly also over legal and operational control. By 2026 at the latest, therefore, the right business software will no longer be determined solely by its feature set or scalability, but by the question of digital sovereignty.

This article explains why “Hosted in Germany” is becoming a strategic criterion for resilience, compliance, and business agility in business and ERP software.

Guest article by Dr. Manfred Nolle – Project management in aerospace is one of the most demanding disciplines: Projects must meet the highest safety requirements, integrate complex technical systems, and simultaneously comply with strict regulatory standards, often over development periods spanning many years.

And why do project decisions in aerospace often have repercussions spanning several decades? Dr. Manfred Nolle, member of the steering committee for the Aerospace Project Management Division at GPM (German Association for Project Management), highlights the unique challenges that define project management in the aerospace industry and explains which methods and competencies are necessary to successfully implement complex aerospace projects.

Guest article by André Türpe, projecDo GmbH – Hardly any other framework in the agile world provokes as much discussion as SAFe®. For some, the Scaled Agile Framework is the key to making agility effective in large organizations, increasing transparency, and promoting collaboration.

The decisive factor is therefore not whether SAFe® works, but how it is introduced and implemented – because success depends on attitude, responsibility, and leadership, not just the framework.
