bbv has published its Technica Radar annually since 2020. In it, bbv’s CTO Board highlights which technologies will be business-relevant in the future – and which can be safely forgotten. In this interview, CTO Board Members Patrick Labud and Marco Ravicini explain why certain topics are trending and what you should be turning your attention to soon.
The human factor in digitalisation
Digital transformation is leading to changes in business models, value chains and the way companies operate. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the opportunity to optimise processes, make more informed decisions and create new innovations. However, it is often overlooked that the decisive factor for the successful use of AI does not lie in the algorithms or technologies themselves, but in the people who use them.
Beyond the hype: How bbv’s AI Hub is shaping the future of specialised AI
While many companies are looking to standard AI solutions, such as Microsoft’s Copilot, bbv is going one step further with its AI Hub. Stefan Häberling, Head of Business Area AI, explains why custom AI agents are often the better choice for complex business processes.

How China protects its data
China is an attractive expansion target for foreign companies. But the many laws on handling data complicate market access. bbv provides an overview of the applicable provisions.
Shrouded in myths
Individual solutions are expensive because the wheel has to be reinvented every time. Standard solutions are affordable but are not an optimal fit for the business processes. The debate around standard and individual software is shrouded in many myths and prejudices. Michael Maurer, Senior IT Consultant & Solution Architect at bbv, takes a more differentiated look at the matter and puts selected myths into perspective.
Develop software yourself or buy it off the shelf– is this question still justified?
Regardless of how unusual customer requests and visions are: Software can be developed and used today in such a way that it suits everywhere. There are many solutions. But the question remains: “Should software be developed individually or does a standard solution suit the company’s business processes?” This question is derived from the strategy, says bbv expert Michael Maurer as he explains the advantages and disadvantages of both options.
Uplift for digital logistics processes
ALSO Dolly+ enables smart storage and logistics of valuable goods, transparent tracking and optimization of operational processes.
Software based on modular design
Low-code and no-code platforms allow even those not well versed in IT to develop productive business applications. Professional programmers should also make use of the relevant tools to complement rather than replace their work.
