We connect millions of people every day. Worldwide.
Our wide range of system solutions connects millions of people around the world every day: from around 610,000 employees in the Volkswagen Group and its 12 brands to our customers. At Volkswagen Group IT, we promote the digitalisation of Volkswagen and its products.
In addition, our IT also underpins and supports the core business segments of the Volkswagen Group at all sites. We provide, maintain and continuously develop the Group-wide IT infrastructure together with the central data centres and worldwide networks. We work with a motivated and committed IT team on the integration of the value creation process with our systems and accept the challenges inherent in competitive pressure, managing resources and the dynamism of the IT market.
Our mission: the digitalisation of Volkswagen

Work type classification
Three examples of modern types of cooperation we offer.
Agile Working
Volkswagen IT makes intensive use of agile working methods, especially in software development. The main benefits of this include unbureaucratic processes, increased speed and better results.
We have also consistently adopted this approach in the office concepts, for example in the newly constructed IT City in Wolfsburg. The office campus for about 1,500 employees is oriented towards agile working. Features include work islands for project teams, meeting points, fully networked conference rooms and retreat rooms for concentrated working.
Pair Programming
Our pair programming (pairing) approach is based on the project work of IT companies in Silicon Valley. In our Digital:Lab in Berlin, software architects, designers and developers work on the basis of the pairing method. They form teams of two in each case and always work on the same content of the project. This sharing of knowledge accelerates the project, reduces errors and allows rapid adjustment to short-term changes in customer requirements.
Our method knowledge and experience in this area are now being transferred to the core IT organisation in Wolfsburg. The possibility of “cross pairing”, cooperation between IT colleagues in Germany and India across national and time zone boundaries, is also being considered increasingly.
In addition, we use the pairing approach at Volkswagen for recruiting qualified IT graduates. Instead of attending a conventional interview, international applicants spend several days working together with a Volkswagen employee and are fully integrated in project work – this is a first step in getting to know the team.
