As early as 1968 Heilmann brought out a "series of publications for integrated data processing", which contains more than fifty works, in particular on questions of the application of the new medium of data processing. In 1987, for example, the world's first monograph on the subject of teleprogramming appeared in which Heilmann examined over a thousand teleworking positions for programmers in the USA, England, Germany and Switzerland and made suggestions for the design of these process innovations.

The Wolfgang Heilmann Prize is endowed with € 10,000 and is awarded for outstanding suggestions for improving the use of computers in society. In 2016 it was about "Education for the eSociety".
