adesso Wins Contract with the Deutsche Bundesbank

adesso SE has secured one of the most significant contracts in its corporate history. Following a multi-stage tender process lasting more than two years, the Deutsche Bundesbank has selected the IT service provider as its partner. Over the coming years, adesso will support the central bank in modernising its core banking system. The contract, with a total value in the tens of millions, is among the largest that adesso has secured to date, particularly due to its significant proportion of work contracts.

The project involves complex system integration within the highly regulated environment of the Deutsche Bundesbank, including the integration of existing legacy systems, challenging data migrations and the coordination of multiple technology and implementation partners. adesso brings its strengths in the areas of system architecture, project management and quality assurance to bear – from conception through implementation to stable operation. Other important factors were adesso’s in-depth expertise in core banking systems and payment transactions, recognised know-how in the SAP environment, and integration expertise from a single source.

Company-Wide Collaboration as a Key to Success

This success is the result of close company-wide collaboration: the adesso Public and Banking business units contributed their respective credentials in public sector clients, procurement law and financial sector regulation. KIWI Consulting, a subsidiary of adesso SE, complemented the team with its long-standing customer focus and specialist proficiency. During the intensive tender and negotiation phase, colleagues from the sales, software engineering, business design, costing and contract drafting departments worked closely together.

Mark Lohweber, CEO of adesso SE, says: “More than 60 colleagues worked on this contract for over two years, spanning business divisions and subsidiaries. This success is no coincidence, but the result of years of investment in expertise and collaboration. All our efforts have really paid off at a high level, making us visible to both our clients and the market.”

The Deutsche Bundesbank is Germany’s central bank and thus part of the Eurosystem. With around 10,000 employees, it safeguards payment transactions, ensures price stability, monitors financial stability and plays a role in financial supervision. In doing so, it strengthens confidence in the financial system. As a driving force behind the further development of European payment systems, including initiatives relating to the digital euro, it is one of Germany’s most innovative and technologically sophisticated public sector clients. The Deutsche Bundesbank is a key reference client for adesso and a testament to the company’s competitiveness in the segment relating to large-scale IT projects in the public sector.
