History & Vision

Where we come from. Where we are going.

Vision, mission, values and 30 years of DextraData – the foundation for everything we do.

Vision

Building Your Digital Tomorrow

We shape a digital future that inspires. By using our solutions, companies, institutions and people master their digital challenges in a data-driven, independent and effortless way.

Manual routine processes are a thing of the past – time-wasters become free spaces. This allows our clients to focus on what is really important: implementing their business strategies and always being one step ahead of the competition. DextraData's work culture and products are the result of our belief in change through progress made in Germany.

Mission

Trusted Advice & Innovation.

We take away our clients' doubts in the digital transformation, provide knowledge and make the complex simple. To this end, we offer innovative SaaS solutions for more business success in the company and less stress for staff.

With our smart data analytics software we interpret data, our process automation tools improve industry processes and our IoT platform enables real-time tracking. And because speed must not come at the expense of security, our integrated risk management platform supports the resilience of our customers.

Values

Four Core Beliefs

They shape our daily actions – internally and externally.

Promised Loyalty

DextraData – Latin for 'seal with a handshake'. Our logo symbolizes this honest gesture. Firmly anchored in our value system for 30 years: We are loyal business partners, constant advisors and reliable helpers. With us, words and deeds match.

Shared Success

We are convinced: We are only successful together. We create trusting, long-term partnerships at eye level – between colleagues and clients. This cohesion motivates us to achieve the successes that move us and our partners forward in a determined and efficient manner.

Beneficial Innovation

For us, innovation is not an end in itself, but the realization of advanced solutions for specific problems. We remain curious, dare to try new things, learn from mistakes and question old thought patterns – with fun and enthusiasm. In this way, we deliver creative, profitable results.

Social Responsibility

Shared success results in responsibility: for our employees, the region and our work. Considerate and fair towards our team, locally rooted instead of globally over-committed. We value work, make it safe and support sustainability through digitalization solutions – honestly, not hypocritically.

Our History

30 Years of DextraData

From Aachen to the Ruhr area, from a client/server provider to a corporate group: the most important stages of our journey.

  1. 1995

    Founding in Aachen

    Shayan Faghfouri founds Faghfouri Multimedia- & Computersysteme (FMC). The young company quickly develops into a successful client/server provider in Aachen.

  2. 2002

    DextraData is born

    The company has been at home in Essen since 1996. In 2002, FMC becomes DextraData GmbH – a new name, a clear vision and the next step in the company's development.

  3. 2010

    Hamburg location

    With the new decade, DextraData opens an office in Hamburg. Fitting the weather there: cloud – a topic that will shape the coming years.

  4. 2015

    20 years & new corporate design

    For its 20th anniversary, DextraData fundamentally modernises its brand. The symbolic handshake – the "promised loyalty" – remains in the logo, while design, typography and overall appearance become far more contemporary.

  5. 2016

    The transformation begins

    With the CIO Cockpit, DextraData launches its first in-house development. An important turning point: the transformation from IT service provider to software company begins.

  6. 2019

    Innovation meets growth

    After awards such as Top Innovator 2018 and the DELL EMC Innovation Award, DextraData continues its growth path: with the DELL Titanium partnership and a new location in Berlin.

  7. 2021/2022

    Launch of GRASP

    With GRASP, DextraData launches a new platform for integrated risk management and further expands its SaaS portfolio. In the same year, the CIO Cockpit is named Innovation of the Year by "Die deutsche Wirtschaft".

  8. 2024

    Sale to CANCOM

    With the sale of the entire IT consulting and services business to CANCOM, DextraData takes the next consistent step: the former IT service provider becomes a company fully focused on software and SaaS.

  9. 2025

    30 years of DextraData – new structures, new products

    For its 30th anniversary, DextraData sets the course for the next phase: the aviation, healthcare and GRC verticals are bundled into dedicated subsidiaries. The majority stake in iVivid and the acquisition of Condatis GmbH further expand the portfolio. At the same time, Talora starts as the new generation of the aviation platform, succeeding Logipad.

Hands on Future

The next quarter century begins today.

We see software as a tool that relieves people and empowers organizations. We work on this every day – together with our customers, courageously, responsibly and always with a clear view of what matters tomorrow.
