What Dataglobal does

Dataglobal (legal entity: dataglobal Group GmbH) is a Heilbronn-headquartered, German private software provider founded in 1992 that sells an integrated 'Digital Workplace' stack to mid-market and large enterprises primarily in the DACH region. The company's platform, branded Data City, unifies Document Management (DMS/ECM), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Workplace Management under three product brands — dataglobal CS, windream, and vysoft — with a Business Process Management layer connecting the modules into AI-supported process automation for invoice processing, e-procurement (eBANF), travel expense, digital personnel files, and HR workflows. Notable integrations include a DATEV online interface inside windream ECM, and a 2024 merger with HR-software specialist vimata extends the HCM footprint; the company also markets a 2025 E-Rechnung (electronic invoicing) module positioned against mandatory German B2B e-invoicing requirements. Customer references include Deutsche Bank, UBS, Allianz, Universal Music Group, Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland, Charité Berlin, and Otto Fuchs, with the company claiming more than 3,000 customers across four office locations.

The group operates a sales-led enterprise field motion targeting IT, HR, and Finance decision-makers with localized content marketing (whitepapers, webcasts, success stories) in German, English, and French. Revenue is generated through subscription-based software licences for the Data City modules, recurring Managed Services for ECM infrastructure, and Professional Services for implementation and consulting; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. With 250+ employees and four offices in the DACH region, dataglobal is a privately held GmbH; ownership structure, fundraising history beyond a 2008 Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn ticket, and detailed financials are not disclosed in available source material.
