Introduction
NGBerger.com is based on a webserver sponsored by
the Department of Information Science headed by Prof. Dr. Wolf Rauch in
1999. After 2 years of running a website http://bspr09.kfunigraz.ac.at on a
standard PC (Pentium 133 which I upgraded with components from my private
funds, Prof Rauch supported the project in order to get faculty funding
which SoWi Sprachausbildung was not prepared to apply for in those days.
When SoWi Sprachausbildung was integrated into the
Department of International Management, Prof. Dr. Ursula Schneider took a
more supportive stance and some upgrades were funded by the Department and
Faculty, providing extra storage capacity.
Still, the site benefits to a large extent from the private
investment I have made over the years: Apart from the server software
including an Internet Information Server and a Realnetworks Media Server,
production software has been acquired through private money only.
Due to the international recognition which presentations and
workshops at conferences have received, I have been invited to bid for
several web-based development projects in both private and public sector
institutions. As a result, commercial products have been created in
co-operation with York Associates for clients such as Henkel, Germany, and
Credit Suisse, Switzerland. these publications are hosted on the York
Associates webserver. Intranet solutions of these packages can be tailored
to corporate needs, and consulting services can be booked, too.
Academic projects have been carried out with the University
of Exeter. Funds from the Vice Chancellor's Office at K F University
supporting new media development have been made available.
All these efforts have contributed to a growing amount of
expertise available and showcased on this site. I would be happy to answer
any queries regarding solutions and co-operations with both private and
public sector organisations worldwide.
