Press Releases

adesso, a leading IT service provider from Germany, has taken over the club platform of the international sports marketing agency SPORTFIVE and the associated mobile applications as of 1 November 2024. With the backend solution, which will operate under the name adesso Sports Platform in future, adesso is adding an innovative fan experience solution to its range of solutions for the sports industry. At the same time, adesso and the agency SPORTFIVE, which in future will concentrate entirely on its core business of sponsorship marketing, are intensifying their sales partnership.

IT service provider adesso continues to be one of the leading providers of data and analytics services in Germany. This was confirmed by the latest Lünendonk Study 2024 on Data & Analytics (D&A). For the ranking, the industry analyst evaluated relevant service providers based on their competencies, key offerings, market shares, and market perception. Based on these criteria, Lünendonk listed adesso as one of the market leaders for D&A services.

Using data across sectors promises enormous potential for research and improving patient care in the healthcare sector. At the heart of this effort lies the development of a secure, shared data space – a technology that the IT service provider adesso is already exploring extensively through initiatives like HealthTrack-X.

German companies understand the vital role that a steadfast customer focus plays in achiev-ing business success. Most of them also consider themselves to be well positioned in this ar-ea. However, a closer look reveals a different picture. Many organisations still have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to the technical implementation of customer centricity. This is revealed by the latest Customer Centricity Study by IT service provider adesso.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to turn the way we work today completely on its head. For years, companies across various industries have been working to implement machine learning, deep learning, and other AI-based algorithms to analyse large datasets with self-learning systems and solve specific tasks through pattern recognition built on that foundation. Since the end of 2022, the hype surrounding generative AI, or GenAI for short, has acted as an additional catalyst for this trend. Increasingly, manufacturing companies are also allocating budgets to create the resources needed for the implementation of practical AI solutions.

The question of whether to “make or buy” has long since ceased to be an issue for many companies. As digitalisation advances, companies are increasingly using managed services to deal with the growing complexity of their IT systems. adesso has now bundled all its managed IT services into an integrated offering. The IT service provider aims to offer easier access to its comprehensive range of services in future, so that it can provide its customers with even more targeted and holistic support.

By Volker Gruhn, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and founder of adesso:

No data, no AI. This basically sums up what many companies are currently experiencing. What they would actually like to achieve is data-driven working and using AI applications to deal with such issues as the shortage of skilled labour, supply chain disruptions, and other urgent problems. However, once it comes to implementing specific initiatives or projects, many realise that they do not have the data required. In this respect, a German SME based in Swabia is impacted just as much as a global player with hundreds of sites.

adesso SE, one of Germany’s leading IT service providers, moved into its new premises at the Seetor City Campus in Nuremberg last June. As an anchor tenant, the digitalisation partner to prominent public and private-sector organisations occupies an entire section of this high-profile area. In doing so, the company is highlighting the relevant role it plays in Nuremberg as a business location and metropolitan region. Thanks to steady customer growth in recent years, the number of adesso staff employed in Nuremberg has increased substantially. Employees from virtually all divisions of adesso SE and its key subsidiaries are now working at the site. The new subsidiary now provides them with significantly larger and more modern office space, workstations and meeting rooms spanning an area of around 4,500 square metres. By expanding its operations in Nuremberg, adesso is laying the ground for further growth in the region.

Although generative AI (GenAI) is now firmly established in day-to-day working life, managers and their staff have very different views on how it should be used, what is expected of it, and what the benefits are. This is confirmed by the updated and expanded GenAI study by IT service provider adesso, in which a total of 778 managers and employees from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH) participated. While top management is already used to working with these tools, the rest of the workforce is often more hesitant.

IT service provider adesso has won the prestigious BigData Insider Award 2024 in the “Big Data Consulting” category for the fourth time running. This latest award reinforces adesso’s leading position in the field of data and analytics and confirms once again its expertise in data-driven business transformation.
