The Datavard Story
1999
The predecessor of today’s Datavard AG is launched under the name SICOD. It is the time of company takeovers and the small but top-class team successfully carries out demanding data transformation projects for the integration and outsourcing of companies on behalf of SAP.
2010
The Datavard AG of today is founded. The company’s success also allows the team to grow rapidly and therefore an additional office is opened at the new location in Heidelberg.
2012
Datavard launches its first proprietary software, Outboard. The data management solution helps companies optimize their SAP data management, and it quickly finds enthusiastic customers with companies such as Bitburger and Randstad.
2015
Datavard expands internationally and opens its first foreign office in the USA. The US market is becoming increasingly important and Fortune 500 companies like Nike rely on Datavard for complex SAP transformation projects.
2016
Datavard is recognized by Gartner as a visionary in the area of SAP data management. Additionally, this year’s focus is primarily on the development of structures and processes. This also includes an expansion of management, which will give the company new impetus.
2017
Datavard opens its first Asian office in Singapore. Now Datavard can also serve customers from Asia with proximity and presence.
2018
Datavard Glue is the first flagship product to be launched. The solution enables companies to use their SAP data for data science applications. Furthermore, Marondo, a well-known investor, joins Datavard this year.
2019
Datavard successfully completes its first acquisition with the takeover of the American SAP service provider Formbit, thereby strengthening its market presence in the area of System Landscape Optimization (SLO).
