What itsc does

ITSC GmbH is a privately held German IT services and digitalization company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Hannover, with a secondary office in Essen. The company exclusively serves statutory health insurance funds (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) in Germany, operating as a unique IT working group (Arbeitsgemeinschaft) owned by over 40 member funds — including Audi BKK, BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE, Continentale BKK, hkk, IKK gesund plus, Mercedes-Benz BKK, Merck BKK, Pronova BKK, and others — who simultaneously act as shareholders and customers. This cooperative structure aligns ITSC's commercial incentives directly with its buyer base across the GKV vertical.

ITSC's product portfolio centers on operating, extending, and integrating BITMARCK_21c|ng, the leading core software suite for German statutory health insurance. Around this core, ITSC delivers a modular suite including haiSUITE (omnichannel member communication with video), hai.BOT (transformer-based AI chatbot deployed at 24 funds), lector.ai (DONUT-model AI document recognition co-developed with an AI partner), Digitaler Posteingang (AI-powered digital mailroom), Omnichannel-Beleglesung, INTRACON:bk (output management), Wilken ERP integration, bitAnalytics (ML-based BI), Versorgungsradar (healthcare monitoring), e-Signing, haiFORMS, and a Digital Platform. The company also provides managed IT services (data center, workplace, server, network, security), business process outsourcing (CISO-as-a-Service, insured-person helpdesk, service desk, IT operations), and consulting (digital roadmap, process automation, data science, IT strategy). ITSC operates ISO/IEC 27001-certified (18 consecutive years) and ISO 9001-certified (19 consecutive years) data centers from its Hannover headquarters.

ITSC's revenue is generated through managed services contracts, application management and consulting fees, BPO arrangements, and subscription-based proprietary software — all negotiated bilaterally with member health insurance funds rather than through public pricing. The company has no external investors and is privately held by its shareholder funds. In June 2026, ITSC shareholders approved a merger with spectrumK to form a new combined entity called VALUNY, expected to commence operations in Q3 2026 with over 600 employees and combined annual revenue exceeding EUR 100 million, positioning VALUNY as a uniquely scaled GKV service provider combining data intelligence, technology, care expertise, and operational capabilities.
