What EDV.de does

EDV.de Systemhaus GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German IT system house founded in 2001 as a spin-off from the IT department of the econ Unternehmensgruppe. Headquartered in Burgdorf (Lower Saxony) with an additional site in Ehlershausen, the company delivers managed IT services, IT outsourcing, cloud services (including cloud telephony integrated with Microsoft Teams), document management (ELO ECM Suite and the specialized ELO for DATEV product), time and access control solutions (via REINER SCT and ASSA ABLOY), and regulatory compliance services for medical practices (KBV § 75b SGB V) and NIS-2 to roughly 450 small and mid-sized enterprises across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Its customer base is anchored in the Hanover region, with a distinct vertical emphasis on tax advisors, accountants, lawyers, and medical practices, supported by certified partnership status with DATEV (Solution Partner and Premium Partner), ELO Digital Office (Business Partner of the Year 2022), and Microsoft.

The company operates with a team of 22+ certified specialists holding vendor credentials across Microsoft, DATEV, ELO, Fujitsu (maintenance engineer certifications re-certified 2022), and REINER SCT, managing approximately 3,500 IT endpoints for clients. The technology stack is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary IP: ELO ECM Suite provides document and workflow automation, DATEV provides accounting integration (via the bidirectional ELO for DATEV interface with self-learning document recognition), Microsoft 365/Teams/Azure provide cloud and communications, and Fujitsu/Dell supply hardware. The most differentiated technical asset is the ELO for DATEV integration, which positions EDV.de as a migration target following DATEV's end-of-life of DATEV DMS classic in December 2023.

EDV.de makes money through a mix of recurring managed-service contracts, subscription-based cloud and telephony services, one-time ECM/DMS implementation projects, and hardware resale. All pricing is quote-based and exclusively B2B. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise field sales with channel distribution through the DATEV, ELO, and Microsoft partner ecosystems, supplemented by regional trade-show presence (TAXarena, ELO Solution Day, DATEV Partner Summit) and content marketing via its website and blog. The company is bootstrapped, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional backing, and is led by Managing Director Nico Röbbelen.
