In the medium term, digitalization is also profoundly changing the traditional association landscape, partly because IT value creation is increasingly being pursued in all areas of the economy and not just in the traditional IT and telecommunications industry.
Against this backdrop, DSAG and the digital association Bitkom have agreed to work more closely together. Overall, the common interests of DSAG and Bitkom are diverse.
Bitkom, for example, is strongly committed to the digitalization of the economy, society and administration. Cooperation with DSAG can create synergies here.
Issues in the regulatory and legislative environment, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation or principles for storing and accessing data, offer points of contact for cooperation between the two associations.
For DSAG, the partnership with Bitkom is a step towards complementing its traditional focus on SAP.
