SRC supports people with a handicap as part of hardware delivery

SRC has been cooper­ating with alster­arbeit in Hamburg for more than two months now. People with handicaps are working on orders for the individual assembly of computer hardware. As a result, they are able to partic­ipate in working life and experience personal profes­sional realization.

The alster­arbeit gGmbH in Hamburg

In 2000, alster­arbeit gGmbH merged from the Alsterdorf workshops and the daycare facil­ities to form the employment agency alster­arbeit. In 2005 the company was trans­formed into today’s alster­arbeit gemein­nützige GmbH. Its aim: to offer people with disabil­ities employment in line with their wishes, abilities and skills. In this way, these fellow human beings can partic­ipate fully in profes­sional life.

IT manufac­turing at alsterarbeit-it

alsterkontec is the production site for packaging, assembly and technology of alster­arbeit in Hamburg. Besides a wide range of different services, alsterkontec also offers the area of IT manufac­turing, the alsterarbeit-it.
It is a manufac­turer of high-quality and reliable IT hardware. In addition to the production of PAOLA computers, which are certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2008, the IT teams also handle the finishing and individual config­u­ration of notebooks from well-known manufac­turers such as DELL and LENOVO.

SRC employee recom­mends alster­arbeit gGmbH

The cooper­ation with alster­arbeit gGmbH resulted from a private recom­men­dation from the SRC staff. When the SRC management was made aware of the impec­cable work of the people employed at alster­arbeit gGmbH, they decided without hesitation to order and receive notebooks via alster­arbeit-it in the future in order to support the chari­table work of the gGmbH and of course to support the people with handicaps working there.
There is no quality deviation from classic suppliers and dealers, whether in hardware or delivery processing — quite the contrary. The hardware supplied to SRC by alster­arbeit-it is charac­terized by relia­bility and high quality. This is due to the fact that the IT teams of alster­arbeit-it not only have highly motivated and excel­lently super­vised employees but also specialists for sales and project management and that they support their customers with know-how and flexi­bility in the planning and imple­men­tation of their projects. Should there be any problems with the hardware, the alster­arbeit-it tech center in Bad Oldesloe, 30 minutes by car from Hamburg, quickly provides profes­sional help through the experi­enced service team.

Paying in 2025 — Scenarios for the future of payment systems in Germany

A study by SRC Security Research & Consulting GmbH with profes­sional support from Z_punkt The Foresight Company and Fraun­hofer INT (orig. “Bezahlen 2025 — Szenarien zur Zukunft der Zahlungssysteme in Deutschland).

Instant payments, the digiti­sation of shopping, stricter regulation, payment releases — and account infor­mation services — it is already clear today that these issues will have a major impact on the world of payment in the future. How exactly these factors are designed and used, however, depends decisively on drivers whose influence can be predicted much less reliably:

How strong are the Fintechs? What role do the Internet giants want to play? Do customers accept new payment methods? What authen­ti­cation methods are available? What about the willingness to cooperate within the banking industry?

The study “Paying in 2025 — Scenarios for the future of payment systems in Germany” therefore does not predict the “one” true future. Rather, an expert survey and several rounds of experts identified those factors that will probably have the greatest impact on the future of payment in the next decade.
Building on this, various consistent future scenarios have been developed that help to form a concrete picture of what payment could look like in ten years’ time. The aim of the study is to provide decision-makers in payment trans­ac­tions with support in analysing the oppor­tu­nities and challenges of the future payment trans­ac­tions landscape.
