You will teach in the module "Business Process Integration" of the Bachelor's degree program in Business Informatics. Its focus is on process digitization and thematically ranges from recognizing digitization potentials to implementing automation projects using automation technologies such as workflow management systems, robotic process automation, integration platform as a service, intelligent document processing, or agentic process automation.

On the one hand, you convey the theoretical concepts in lectures. On the other hand, you enable students to apply these concepts in exercise lessons by developing prototypes of process applications using low-code platforms such as the Microsoft Power Platform or UiPath platform.

Solid conceptual and technical understanding in as many of the following areas as possible:

• Leading and participating in automation projects
• Hyperautomation approach and technologies
• Workflow management systems / business process automation
• Robotic process automation
• System integration (e.g., with iPaaS, ESB, etc.)
• Decision management systems
• Intelligent document processing
• Automation platforms such as UiPath, Power Platform, Appian, PEGA, etc.
