For six decades now, the name eurodata has stood for successful solutions and concepts for electronic data gathering and processing. The secret of that success is the resolute further development of innovative and user-friendly IT solutions that centre around usefulness.
What began in Saarbrücken in the 60s with the development and marketing of an electronic accounting and controlling system for the filling station sector, and was accompanied by the founding of a data centre in Aachen and a branch office in Hamburg, has long since developed into a market-leading software platform for petroleum and filling station companies. On the basis of the experience thus gained and the great interest shown in other sectors too, eurodata has not merely gone on to expand its business more and more; it continues to see itself as a pioneer of the software industry too. Today, apart from the successes it has achieved in the filling station business, the company is among the leading providers of solutions for tax advisors and their clients and HR solutions for SMEs, and is the backbone of many a successful ETL office. Other success factors certainly include the focus on customer satisfaction and the fact that great store is set by the sustainability of the products and the data centre.
More than 800 employees work for eurodata at 19 locations in Germany, Austria, France and other European countries. Today, the portfolio of cloud solutions covers office management (such as accounting, office organisation, wage accounting and HR) as well as sector-specific systems for filling stations, in the health sector and in the hotel and catering industries. eurodata AG has thus positioned itself as one of the leading software and IT service partners of choice for small to medium-sized tax consultancy and law offices and their clients. Oliver Herzig, Chief Product Officer at eurodata AG, says: “We’re very proud of our product portfolio, which is unique in terms of its breadth and depth on the market. Coupled with our own secure high-performance data centre and direct access to the largest network of tax consultancy firms in Germany and Europe, namely that of the ETL Group, our very experienced yet continually growing team at
Saarbrücken and our other locations in Germany and Europe has everything it needs to guarantee the business success of the Group in the future too.”
In turbulent times like these, the 60th birthday of a small to medium-sized German company is certainly not a thing to be taken for granted. So we at eurodata are all the prouder that we have always recognised the signs of the times early enough on a technological, structural and economic level and continued to plot the right course. In the future too, together with ETL, we’ll be generating important momentum, for example in the digitalisation of offices and the deployment of AI as a virtual assistance function. But the focus is always on the customer, whom eurodata assists in overcoming the challenges of his business successfully.
Not least, these successes have been achieved by eurodata’s dedicated staff. They help to ensure excellent net promoter scores, interested young recruits and the good reputation that eurodata has carved out for itself over the years. The company wants to make sure it lives up to that reputation in the future too, and is already getting set up to do so with continual investments in AI research of its own. Ralf Hensel, Chief Information Officer at eurodata, says: “Today, rather like the wise and forward-thinking action eurodata took in the 60s, when the decision was made at that very early stage in favour of the electronic processing of wage data, we feel it’s imperative to integrate the facilities offered by modern cloud and AI technology in our solutions for the benefit of our customers.”
Currently, eurodata is expanding investments in its own AI research laboratory and its high-performance data centre so as to share the added values of that technology with the users of eurodata solutions in a way that is fast-acting, but secure and compliant too. The sector is in a state of flux. For that reason, not least, eurodata is pressing ahead with cloud, AI and data centre technology and the integration of its own portfolio in existing IT landscapes.
