The task of the Application Management Department is to organize and ensure the professional, coordinated, economic and qualified use of IT applications within the administration.

The aim is to offer an effective, user-oriented and process-supported service. This is achieved by (a) the joint development of requirements with the users of the applications and (b) on the basis of the development and application of norms and standards in the selection and use of IT applications.

The Application Management Department works along the management and administration processes of GEOMAR. This requires a natural and close coordination with the departments of the administration and the directorate.
