DrVis Software GmbH

What DrVis Software GmbH does

DrVis Software GmbH is a Munich-based IT services and software company founded in 2006 that specializes in deploying and managing Microsoft 365 for German educational institutions. Operating as a private limited company (GmbH) and a 100% subsidiary of Skaylink GmbH, the company originated as a spin-off from the Walter Schottky Institute at the Technical University of Munich. DrVis holds Microsoft EDU Elite Partner status (one of approximately 20 worldwide), direct First-Tier Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) status, and Microsoft Solutions Partner designation with specialization in Modern Work and Education.

The company's core product is Vis365, a proprietary web application built on Microsoft .NET and the Microsoft Graph API that enables non-technical staff at schools and universities to administer Microsoft 365 environments, including user accounts, licenses, Teams, classes, devices (via Intune), parent communications, and digital examinations via the VisExams module. Supporting products include VisConnect (bidirectional directory synchronization between Active Directory/HIS and Microsoft 365), Office für Bildung (a full-service Microsoft 365 deployment package), device management via Intune/Autopilot, and Azure infrastructure consulting. The platform integrates with German school administration systems (Untis, ASV, Schild-NRW) and supports Shibboleth SSO for universities.

DrVis monetizes through subscription licenses (Vis365 starts at 2,100 EUR/year), Microsoft 365 license resale with margin via CSP, hourly professional services (150 EUR/hour for setup, migration, and configuration), and managed Azure services. Customers are exclusively German K-12 schools (primary segment) and universities (secondary segment), with the entire go-to-market executed through consultative direct sales, free trials, webinars, and DSGVO compliance content marketing. Pricing leverages Microsoft's Student Use Benefit (15x-40x free student licenses per licensed staff member) as a key adoption lever.
