What ÖGD-IT does

ÖGD-IT, operated by Krauth Digital Solutions GmbH (formerly Covid IT Solutions GmbH), is a Berlin-based, privately held German niche consultancy that provides end-to-end digitalization services to the German Public Health Service (Öffentlicher Gesundheitsdienst, ÖGD). Its single stated customer segment is municipal and state-level Gesundheitsämter, served exclusively in Germany. The company organizes its offering around four pillars: Digitalisierungsstrategie (strategy), Digitalisierungsprojekte (project delivery), Digitalisierungsarchitektur (architecture), and Digitalisierungsworkshops (workshops), all anchored in a proprietary Reifegradmodell (maturity model) that assesses digital maturity across eight dimensions and structures goal-setting, prioritization, and implementation sequencing.

The technology stack is built on a modular architecture comprising Basismodule (Digital Communication, Database/Data Interfaces, Form Server, and Reporting Dashboard) orchestrated by ADAM, a digital assistant that combines RPA, OCR, and text understanding to triage inbound messages and appointments, collect data, and route work to staff. ADAM is positioned as the central entry point for process digitization and feeds metadata into reporting dashboards. The stated design principles emphasize interoperability, IT security, data protection, and citizen-centered design, and the company is GDPR-compliant with an external data protection officer provided via PROLIANCE GmbH.

The business model is primarily professional services: project-based consulting engagements with publicly funded health departments, beginning with workshops as low-friction entry points and progressing into strategy, architecture, and implementation work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with no channel partners, supported by a content/website presence and LinkedIn activity. The company is small (11–50 employees), co-led by managing directors Dr. Ralph Kremer and Dr. Mäx Blauth, and operates without disclosed external funding or institutional investors.
