IDT brings together the knowledge from sector-leading companies from all over the globe that engage in digital transformation. These companies have the interest to share insights into their very own transformation journey with IDT’s team of professional researchers. In-depth insights into companies’ journeys will provide the opportunity to derive industry specific managerial advice for the digital transformation. This will enable the participating companies to reflect on their digitization strategy.

The foundation of the IDT emanates from SAP’s and the Chair’s plan to intensify innovative interdisciplinary research. The founding members are Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar (Chair for Information Systems at Technische Universität München - TUM) and Gerhard Oswald (Member of the Board SAP SE). TUM and SAP combine excellence in information systems development and research.

The market leader in enterprise application software, SAP, helps organizations to generate new opportunities for innovation and growth through digital transformation.
