informationstechnisch

Informationstechnisch is a German adjective used to describe things related to information technology, or, in some contexts, as an adverb meaning “in information-technical terms.” It is formed from Information, Technik and the suffix -isch, aligning with related terms such as Informationstechnologie (information technology) and informationstechnik (information hardware). The term designates aspects, systems or processes that involve information processing, digital networks, software, hardware, data management and related disciplines. Typical compounds include informationstechnische Infrastruktur (IT infrastructure), informationstechnische Prozesse (IT processes), informationstechnische Anforderungen (IT requirements) and informationstechnische Sicherheit (IT security).

In practice, informationstechnisch is most common in technical, organizational or policy language, indicating that a statement or decision concerns information technology rather than purely non-technical considerations. It can also function as an adverb in phrases like informationstechnisch bedingt, meaning “due to IT considerations” or “in terms of information technology.” The term therefore helps distinguish IT-related topics from broader business, administrative or social contexts.

As a lexical item, informationstechnisch is mostly used in German-language texts about computing, telecommunications, data protection, software development and IT governance. It complements other German IT terms such as Informatik (computer science), Informationstechnologie (information technology) and IT-Sicherheit (cybersecurity).
