14.05.2024 Career Day: ponturo consulting AG

Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung hat einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf sämtliche Aspekte der heutigen Wirtschaft. In nahezu allen Branchen und Geschäftsbereichen ermöglicht die Integration digitaler Technologien Effizienzsteigerung sowie die Entwicklung innovativer Produkte und Dienstleistungen.

 

Der verstärkte Einsatz von Technologien wie künstlicher Intelligenz ermöglicht es, Geschäftsprozesse zu optimieren, Daten effektiver zu nutzen und fundierte Entscheidungen auf der Grundlage von Echtzeitinformationen zu treffen. Durch die Integration von Software-Robotern können Unternehmen zeitintensive, wiederkehrende und fehleranfällige manuelle Prozesse automatisieren. Wir von Innovation Lab der ponturo consulting AG möchten Euch eine dieser Technologien, die Robotic Process Automation (RPA), näherbringen.

In unserem Workshop „Low Code-basierte Modellierung einer Robotic-Process-Automation Bots“ am 12. Mai habt Ihr die Möglichkeit, interaktiv einen RPA-Bot zu entwickeln. Die Case Study richtet sich an Studierende der Wirtschafts- und Naturwissenschaften, die gerne einen Einblick in die neuesten Technologien erhalten möchten. Das gute dabei: Programmiervorkenntnisse sind hierfür nicht erforderlich. Wir: Amin, Franziska, Felix und Matthias geben zu Beginn eine kurze Einführung und werden mit Euch den Bot über vordefinierte Aktivitäten erstellen. Inhaltlich bezieht sich der Use Case auf Themen aus dem Bankenumfeld.

Die ponturo consulting AG ist ein wachsendes IT-Beratungsunternehmen, dass die großen deutschen und internationalen Banken und Versicherungen bei der Konzeption und Umsetzung zukunftsträchtiger IT-Strategien unterstützt. Das ponturo-Innovation Lab beschäftigt sich mit den Einsatzmöglichkeiten neuer Technologien, wie KI, RPA und Blockchain. Mehr Information unter: www.ponturo.de

Registering for an event: FAQs

Can I register for several events?

You can register for as many events as you like. If you want to register for more than one event, simply access your shopping cart and click/tap on 'Add tickets for a different date'.

The event is already fully booked. Is there a waiting list?

We always try to make enough places available. If an event you're interested in is fully booked, you can add your name to the waiting list on the event registration page. If a place becomes available, you will automatically receive a message containing a registration code. The registration code will remain valid for 48 hours, after which the place will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.

Why am I seeing terms like 'ticket', 'order' and 'shopping cart' on the registration page?

Don't let that confuse you! We use a ticketing system similar to that used in the events industry, which is why some of the terms on the registration pages are similar to those found in online shops. But you don't have to pay anything! All our events and workshops are completely free of charge. The 'ticket' that you add to your 'shopping cart' is simply a means of confirming that you have registered for that event.

Why do I get redirected to a Centre for Lifelong Learning (ZelL) page when registering for some courses?

When you register for some courses, you are redirected to the ZelL website because some of the Career Centre's courses are run through the ZelL registration platform.  

Please note: The English version is based on the translation provided by www.DeepL.com/Translator. 

 

I have been redirected to a page of the Centre for Lifelong Learning (ZelL). Where can I register for events?

Scroll down the ZelL page to see the event. You will find the registration form below the course description.   

If you do not already have an account on the Centre for Lifelong Learning platform, you will need to register first. Once you have registered, you will be able to register for other ZelL courses

Please note: The English version is based on the translation provided by www.DeepL.com/Translator.

Something's come up and I won't be able to attend the event. Who should I notify?

We're sorry to hear you can't make it and we hope you can attend next time. If you know you won't be able to attend an event, please don't forget to let us know.

I missed the event! When is it going to be held again?

Some of our events are offered every semester or every other semester, so it's worth checking the event calendar for next semester. If you sign up for our Newsletter, you'll receive regular notifications about upcoming events. And if you're interested in a particular event, it's worth sending an email to career(at)uni-saarland.de as some events have been recorded and we can provide access to them via MS Teams.
