Ever wondered how information about the different areas, such as personal, financial, medical, or whatever you can think of, is processed, distributed, and secured in a safe way? The digital, electronic, and complex world today needs good and solid solutions to make sure that they fulfill the needs of our entire society.

You as an IT technician can play an important role in that world. You will have to translate business needs into technical solutions. And business needs are very demanding these days. Computer systems need to be available 24/7 and must deliver a solid environment where no loss of data is allowed.
