By acquiring a majority stake in the Austrian comesio GmbH, German software manufacturer eurodata AG expands upon its digitalisation and Industry 4.0 portfolio.

The Vienna-based BI specialist, in turn, will extend its Smart Services know-how.

“Together with comesio, we will intensify our commitment to the international BI and analytics market”, announced eurodata CEO Uwe Richter, “and we will now also be able to push our Smart Service solutions to the Eastern European IT market.” He added: “We can surely ease the transition of many Eastern European companies into the era of Industry 4.0, just as in Western Europe, by supplying our Industry 4.0 cloud solutions; for example with our monitoring tool edpem or with edbic, our product for implementing own digital and integrated platforms.“

Austrian Airlines, Austrian Federal Railways and several Federal ministries are already part of comesio’s customer base. eurodata and comesio together will offer comprehensive IT consulting and top-notch technology support to both existing and new customers. The Austrian IT company plans to expand greatly upon its established portfolio of IBM Cognos products.

“Thanks to eurodata’s investment, comesio has managed to restructure and efficiently extend its Big Data unit”, explains comesio CEO Thomas Kolomaznik. “By integrating eurodata’s range of products – now our own products – we are now able to better consult our clients on a holistic Big Data and Industry 4.0 strategy.”
