German term or phrase: IT-Systemkaufmann

Hi all,

This is one of a list of Ausbildungen, which also includes Informatikkaufmann, which I thought would probably be "IT Administrator".

I plan to leave the German names, as they are officially-recognised qualifications, with the translations in brackets.

Any ideas for this? My best guess for this is "IT System Administrator". No other context, unfortunately.

Thanks much!

Hilary Davies

Although I also liked Briethe's suggestion, I decided to go with the "official" translation so that at least it would be "nachvollziehbar"! Thanks very much for the great link!!!
