Systemantics is a computer science office. We are interested in the things behind the scenes, and in general concepts. We use this knowledge to deliver the best services to your business.
Our work covers all areas of computer science, including software development, support, and training. Systemantics has a strong dedication to interdisciplinary research work and the analytical approaches of science.
When we start working for you we want to see behind the scenes. We want to become experts in your domain. In all our commissions, our goal is to figure out a general scheme explaining the problems you want us to solve, and to find a solution that fit this perfectly within this scheme.
Systemantics is owned and operated by Lutz Issler. He holds the degree of Diplom-Informatiker (master of science in computer science) from the RWTH Aachen University in Germany. He worked as a freelance consultant and developer since 1999, and as a research assistant at the Institute for Medical Informatics at the University of Leipzig from 2005–2007. There, he conducted research in the field of modelling and information processing.
Since all times, man wanted to communicate his (and her) knowledge not only by the spoken word, but also by persistent symbolic representations. The invention of script and of number systems marked the first steps to a systematic processing of information. Strictly spoken, this was the beginning of informatics:
Informatics is the science of the systematic processing of information.
With modern computer systems, it is possible to collect and process larger amounts of information than ever. The computer is merely a tool for this than the central aspect. Edsger Dijkstra (1930–2002), a famous computer scientist, stated that ›computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.‹
The chances that arise from the breathtaking development of computer technology for economy, science, and culture are enormous. At the same time, there is the need to develop structured methods to deal with the further increasing complexity of processing and accessing large amounts of information.
Informatics is all of this: developing new methods for systematic information processing and keeping the complexity handy. With this approach, informatics contributes positively to all areas of modern life.
A ›Bureau for Informatics‹, thus, is providing the client support and advice in all areas of informatics. Like an office of consultant engineers or an architect's office, we offer our expertise whenever the client needs it. We don't see this as selling a product but more as assistance in seizing new chances.
