About T-Nova Deutsche Telekom Innovationsgesellschaft mbH

T-Nova Deutsche Telekom Innovationsgesellschaft mbH can now draw on a unique Germany-wide pool of expertise: The Darmstadt Technology Center, with branches in Berlin and eleven other German cities, focuses on highly specialized expertise concerning all types of physical transfer of information. With an eye to customers' current and future needs in networks and related services, the Center offers practical, relevant research and development work that will soon convert the prospects and opportunities arising from the latest technological trends into integrated solutions appropriate for the market.

Innovative network products and top-quality service plans are presently being developed in about 150 company-wide projects simultaneously. These projects involve approximately 1,100 employees. For Dr. Frank Sporleder, the Technology Center's director, the flood of documents, which is rising at a terrific rate, embodies not only a valuable potential source of information, but also collected work—and as such—considerable company capital. About the documents, Dr. Sporleder says, "Their current relevance and availability, along with the related knowledge transfer, are largely responsible for determining the efficiency of our work."

Concerning Web-supported document management, Dr. Sporleder is optimistic of being able to optimize multilayered project work in the customers' interests also. "Performance features such as version and revision management, safeguarding, and archiving of data, controllable access, powerful search and retrieval functions and appropriate workflow capabilities will contribute to this."
