What Avision does

Avision GmbH is a privately held German IT services firm headquartered in Oberhaching near Munich, founded in 2011. The company specializes in 'software revival,' meaning the assessment, refactoring, extension, technology updating, and ongoing maintenance of legacy enterprise software systems. Its primary customers are enterprise and mid-market companies in the DACH region whose IT landscapes suffer from technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and digitalization bottlenecks.

The company delivers services through a proprietary methodology called the Clean Sweep Process, structured under its own project work and contract/billing models. Avision maintains four core service modules — Refactoring, New/Further Development, Technology Update, and Maintenance and Support — and positions itself as technology- and vendor-neutral, offering individualized consulting rather than packaged software. It holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification (recertified October 2025) and operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, KIMdata, which has been active since 2001.

Avision monetizes exclusively through quote-based professional services engagements, with multi-year contracts and flexible billing models that allow modernization within limited client budgets. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, emphasizing partnership-based advisory relationships supported by content marketing, PR distribution, and organic social channels (XING, Facebook, Instagram). With 101–250 employees and no external funding or parent company, Avision is a stable, founder/management-led mid-sized regional consulting firm without a standalone software product, API, or marketplace presence.
