EXEC Software Team

What EXEC Software Team does

EXEC IT Solutions GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 1992, headquartered in Ransbach-Baumbach, with a Berlin sales office. The company develops and operates a portfolio of proprietary enterprise software products for the German financial sector and beyond, organized around four pillars: financial software (eDecision for credit checking, compliance, and fraud prevention; fides 4 for guarantee and investment management; fidesDWH-BI on Microsoft Power BI; DealMap for investment lifecycle management), security (sidoku for end-to-end encrypted document exchange), IT outsourcing (managed services hosted in certified German data centers), and collaboration (mantau as an all-in-one app for organizations, and Cocuun for commercial users). In 2026 EXEC launched execAI, a secure AI framework integrating European LLM providers with proprietary agents for decision support, document processing, and workflow automation, with all processing confined to German data centers for DSGVO compliance.

The company's commercial backbone is its dominance in the German Bürgschaftsbanken segment: all 16 German guarantee banks use fides 4, supported by IDW PS 951 Type 2 certification and MaRisk/BAIT-compliant operations. eDecision has processed over 91 million credit checks and 200 million data messages across banks, leasing companies, and telecom customers including CreditPlus Bank, Honda Bank, Ikano Bank, and EWE TEL. DealMap is gaining traction with Beteiligungsgesellschaften (10+ customers running fidesDWH-BI), while mantau is opening adjacent verticals (municipalities, schools, churches, social organizations) through freemium adoption, White-Label deployments (inframeta, Schönstatt movement), and channel partners (WGKD).

Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription/SaaS licensing for software products, recurring managed IT services, professional services for implementation, and freemium-to-paid conversion for mantau add-ons. The company employs 60-70 people, runs its own Fachinformatiker apprenticeship program, and operates an annual user conference (Anwendertreffen) for financial sector clients. Following the death of founder Stefan Schwaderlapp in March 2024, his son Moritz Schwaderlapp joined Bernd Philippi as co-Managing Director in February 2025. The company remains family-controlled with no disclosed external investors.

Core offering

EXEC IT Solutions develops and sells enterprise software for the German financial sector, including the eDecision credit decisioning platform, the fides 4 guarantee and investment management suite, DealMap for investment lifecycle management, and fidesDWH-BI business intelligence. The company also offers the mantau collaboration app, the sidoku secure document exchange, the execAI AI framework, and regulated IT outsourcing services operated from certified German data centers.

Product overview

EXEC IT Solutions offers a modular product portfolio spanning four main areas: (1) Financial Software including eDecision (credit checking, compliance, fraud prevention), fides 4 (guarantee and investment management), fidesDWH-BI (Business Intelligence), and DealMap (investment management); (2) Collaboration including mantau (all-in-one app for organizations) and Cocuun (for commercial users); (3) Security including sidoku (secure document exchange); and (4) IT Services including IT-Betrieb (outsourcing) and execAI (AI framework). The portfolio operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture where products serve both standalone needs and integrate together—for example, execAI augments fides 4 with AI capabilities. The company rebranded from EXEC Software Team GmbH to EXEC IT Solutions GmbH in 2020, reflecting expansion beyond pure software development.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Aleph Alpha GmbH: Heidelberg-based sovereign European AI provider focused on regulated industries with on-premises deployment. Direct peer for EXEC's execAI positioning around German data sovereignty, DSGVO compliance and enterprise AI deployment.
• Wire Swiss GmbH: End-to-end encrypted messaging and collaboration platform with European data sovereignty positioning. Comparable to mantau's secure-collaboration positioning targeting organizations that reject US hyperscaler tools.

Broad incumbents

• SCHUFA Holding AG: Germany's dominant consumer credit bureau. EXEC integrates with SCHUFA via its B2B interface but SCHUFA itself offers adjacent credit information services and risk analytics to the same banks, leasing and telecom customers.
• adesso SE: Major German IT services and custom software provider with strong focus on banking, insurance and public sector — same regulatory DNA as EXEC and former employer of new EXEC MD Moritz Schwaderlapp. Comparable in customer mix and German-market orientation.
• Atruvia AG: Atruvia is the IT services arm of the German cooperative banking sector (Volksbanken/RAIFFEISENbanken), providing core banking, regulatory IT and outsourced operations. Comparable to EXEC in serving regulated German financial institutions with full-stack IT outsourcing and core processing software.

Direct peers

• CRIF GmbH: European credit bureau and decisioning platform serving banks, financial institutions and consumer lenders with credit information, scoring and decision automation — directly comparable to eDecision's credit checking and fraud prevention capabilities.
• Arvato Financial Solutions: Arvato Financial Solutions (Bertelsmann subsidiary) provides credit risk management, fraud prevention, and receivables management software for banks, leasing companies and telcos — directly overlapping EXEC's eDecision product line in target customers and use cases.
• Nextcloud GmbH: German-headquartered open-source collaboration platform offering file sync, communication and productivity tools with strong European data sovereignty positioning. Most direct open-source alternative to EXEC's mantau in regulated SMB and public-sector use cases.
• Stackfield GmbH: German-hosted collaboration/project management tool with strong data-residency and security positioning for SMBs and organizations. Closest German SMB peer to mantau's all-in-one collaboration offering.
• Creditreform: Germany's largest credit bureau for business credit information, with credit reports, monitoring and decisioning products for the same German SME and bank customers EXEC serves via eDecision and fides 4.
