What are you doing as part of your training to become an IT specialist in system integration at the University of Kassel?

The university needs new hardware and software. IT specialists specializing in system integration analyze requirements, plan servers, hardware, and scalable networks, and create detailed requirements plans.

When planning, IT specialists specializing in system integration carefully consider office spaces: the number of computer workstations, cable routing, wireless networks, and sufficient power outlets—all while adhering to the requirement that cables must not be exposed.

In addition, they professionally set up hardware such as PCs, printers, and telephone systems and run cables. They then install software, licenses, and server access. They troubleshoot issues and perform maintenance—from updates to performance checks.
