Reference Project: DATEV eG
DATEV e.G. from Nuremberg is the largest provider of software solutions for tax offices, lawyers, and auditors. As an innovative company, DATEV recognized the opportunities offered by Digital Ecosystems to establish new business models early on. The organizational unit at DATEV founded specifically for this purpose closely cooperated with Fraunhofer IESE in this context. The Fraunhofer Ecosystem Shaping Method was used to explore a wide variety of design possibilities for a Digital Ecosystem. Business, technical, and contractual aspects and their interrelations were considered. On this solid basis, we are currently working together on the design and development of this Digital Ecosystem.
