Our major focus areas include software development, digital transformation and user-centered design. We improve practices and software technologies that enhance software quality, increase software development productivity, and introduce new innovations in software. We also support and study sustainable business through digital transformation, by applying new digital technologies and innovations. In user-centered design, we empower users, developers and the public in co-design and other approaches to create and modernize software and systems.
