What Fabasoft does

Fabasoft is a European cloud software company headquartered in Linz, Austria, founded in 1988 and publicly listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange (trading as etr:FAA). It designs and operates the Fabasphere digital ecosystem, a cloud-native platform that combines Fabasoft Cloud (enterprise content, records, and business process management infrastructure) with Mindbreeze AI for semantic document analysis, natural-language question answering, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and intelligent document processing. The platform supports deployment across public, private, government, and hyperscaler cloud models, backed by six certified data centers in the DACH region and certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 27018, BSI C5, ISAE 3000 SOC2 Type 2, and EU Cloud Code of Conduct Level 3.

The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture: Fabasphere and Fabasoft Cloud form the foundation; specialized solutions include Fabasoft Approve (industrial document and quality management), Fabasoft Boards (meeting management), Fabasoft Contracts (contract management with regulatory compliance), Fabasoft Dora (DORA outsourcing management), Fabasoft Talents (digital personnel file), Xpublisher (publishing), and eGov-Suite and OneGov for public administration. Fabasoft primarily serves enterprise customers in industrial manufacturing and plant engineering (Siemens Energy, Siemens Mobility, PALFINGER, KSB, Primetals Technologies, Ursapharm, delfort) and public administration, with operations in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.

The business model is subscription-based SaaS delivered through Cloud Service Agreements, supplemented by professional services revenue from implementation, consulting, and training delivered directly and via the Approve Partner Alliance (a two-tier channel of industrial consulting partners and SAP/Microsoft/OpenText integration partners). Pricing is quote-based on annual contracts and is not publicly disclosed. Ownership is anchored by the founding Fallmann family with public float on the Vienna exchange; the group operates through Fabasoft AG as parent and wholly-owned operating subsidiaries across the DACH region, plus majority ownership of 4teamwork AG (acquired 2022) and full ownership of Mindbreeze and Xpublisher.
