In the discussion about digital transformation, the pandemic is often seen as an accelerator for digitization projects. Does this assumption pass the fact check?

2020 was clearly marked by the economic crisis caused by Covid-19. Nevertheless, a very differentiated situation is seen in the IT market.

Particularly in personnel time management and payroll accounting, adjustments are often necessary. Sometimes the legal basis changes, sometimes there are new collective bargaining regulations or company agreements.
