ICT Managers, with many years of professional experience to the point of the Federal Examination, possess extensive specialist and managerial tasks in the ICT sector. The purpose of the Federal Diploma is to provide assurance that the person who obtained it distinguishes herself or himself in terms of commitment, practical, and technical knowledge. Therefore, the holder is capable of assuming higher management roles within the ICT professional field.

The ICT Managers recognize relevant relationships and dependencies in the overall context of the organizations, thus are able to manage efficiently and effectively using informed decisions. They consider the economic, environmental, social, legal, and personnel aspects of the company and work with responsibility.

They manage the employees according to modern management methods and thus achieve with their teams the predetermined goals.

ICT Managers develop the ICT strategy and derive the corresponding service portfolio for their organizational unit. On this basis, they determine which services are purchased.
