Many companies look back on a long history of data processing. My first assignment as an application programmer was in 1969 at a state authority with a large data center. The computer was housed in impressive cabinets and connected to an endless line of tape devices. About 20 data typists sat in a separate room, transferring perforated receipts to punched cards or punched strips [...]

As technology advanced and machines became more powerful, the volume of data grew and the importance of data changed. Data, which was previously used for documentation and administrative purposes, is increasingly used for strategic orientation and planning for the further development and expansion of business areas. Data in modern IT is collected and centrally [...]
