IT@BioQuant: An Introduction

        Through our internal pages you can find now a set of slides to
        answer most of the questions about the BioQuant IT
        infrastructure:
        
        https://www.bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de/intern.html -> IT -> IT
        Services -> Introduction
        
        These slides cover most of central IT services provided by the
        IT Services group for BioQuant and CellNetworks (and other)
        users at the BioQuant centre. If you are interested in more
        detailed information, please don't hesitate to contact us via
        support-it@bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de as usual.
