DVZ

What DVZ does

DVZ (Datenverarbeitungszentrum Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH) is the wholly state-owned IT service provider for the public administration of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Schwerin, with an additional branch opened in Rostock in June 2025, the company employs more than 750 people and delivers end-to-end IT services to state ministries, municipalities, police, judicial authorities, and other public entities across all 445 connected authorities of the Land.

Its core technology portfolio centers on a high-security data center (with a new facility under construction since 2025), the CN LAVINE state-wide fiber network, the Deutsche Verwaltungscloud (DVC) for sovereign cloud procurement, the standardized ZENTRA workplace targeting ~20,000 state employees by 2026, the vITA managed IT workplace, E-Akte MV electronic document management, and the Nextcloud-based collaboration platform. DVZ also develops cross-state "EfA" (Einer für Alle) digital services—most notably the Digitaler Bauantrag (digital building application), adopted by 10 federal states with more than 6,100 applications processed—and operates INTERAMT, Germany's largest public-sector job portal. The technology stack is built on Kubernetes container orchestration for multi-tenant EfA deployments, OpenDesk for digital sovereignty, and is certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of BSI IT-Grundschutz (5th recertification).

DVZ operates a managed-services business funded through long-term service contracts and SLAs with public-sector clients. Pricing is negotiated via procurement rather than market-listed, and revenue is sourced from state budget allocations supplemented by EfA cross-state adoption fees. GTM is exclusively direct enterprise field sales into government at federal, state, and municipal levels. Recent strategic moves include a strategic cooperation agreement with Dataport (June 2026), INTERAMT 2.0 launch (March 2026), a new data center groundbreaking (May 2025), a Rostock branch opening (June 2025), and 600 kWp photovoltaic commissioning (June 2025).
