IT specialists specialising in system integration ensure that IT systems function reliably. They realise hardware solutions from server to client, develop automatisms and set up complex information and communication systems. This includes installing multi-user and mainframe computer systems as well as analysing, planning and implementing customised solutions for technical challenges.

A central part of their work is direct service for users: they provide support with IT problems, explain new systems and answer questions about hardware and software. They are also responsible for the maintenance, servicing and optimisation of existing devices and attachments.

Typical fields of application are data centres, networks, client/server systems as well as fixed and wireless networks. The profession combines technical expertise with practical skills and requires the ability to work in a team, think logically and enjoy developing solutions to complex IT issues. This makes IT specialists for system integration indispensable for a modern, networked working environment.
