RZV

What RZV does

RZV GmbH is a privately held German IT services company founded in 1968 and headquartered in Wetter (Ruhr), operating approximately 300+ employees across four sites (Wetter, Berlin, Bielefeld, Osnabrück) and two TSI-certified data centers in Volmarstein. It is wholly owned by the Evangelische Stiftung Volmarstein, a non-profit foundation, which makes it unusual in being a foundation-owned enterprise competitor in a market otherwise populated by commercial vendors and large consultancies.

RZV's core offering is end-to-end managed IT services for hospitals, healthcare systems, and social-welfare / charitable organizations in Germany. The stack combines its own TSI- and BSI-C5-Typ-2-certified German data centers, a containerized (Kubernetes/Docker) cloud platform delivered as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and an application layer spanning SAP S/4HANA and IS-H replacement (S4.health, co-developed with ATSP on T-Systems Austria's TSHC.core), the Meierhofer M-KIS hospital information system with the M-Medikation closed-loop medication module, the KIDICAP HR suite (with the KAIA AI assistant and Personal-Cockpit analytics), the RZV-EFA cross-sector electronic case file used by 1,500+ physicians, the RZV.NGG cybersecurity platform built on Enginsight SIEM, and adjunct modules such as KIDICAP.Travel and the new RZV.Portal. Supporting capabilities include consulting, project management, training, and ongoing 24/7 managed operations.

Commercially, RZV monetizes through (i) recurring managed cloud subscriptions from its Volmarstein data centers, (ii) third-party software licensing and implementation revenue (SAP PartnerEdge Sell, Meierhofer, KIDICAP via GIP), and (iii) bundled professional services and long-term managed-services contracts won through direct enterprise sales to C-level and IT decision-makers at German hospitals, university clinics, hospital groups (e.g., St. Augustinus with 30+ facilities, ETHIANUM Heidelberg, Universitätskliniken Heidelberg and Tübingen, Dreifaltigkeits-Hospital Lippstadt, Sauerlandklinik Hachen, Vestische Caritas-Kliniken), and social-welfare institutions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
