Press Release adesso and Bosch Software Innovations sign partnership agreement

Dortmund, 15 January 2014 - The IT service provider adesso AG and Bosch Software Innovations GmbH, the software and systems division of the Bosch Group, have signed a partnership agreement. In future, the

two companies want to combine their expertise in order to offer customers a broader portfolio of solutions.

Within the scope of the new partnership, adesso and Bosch Software Innovations plan to work together closely to market industry-specific Bosch standard solutions. They include products for the traditional enterprise environment and in the area of the Internet of Things and Services (IoTS).
Bosch Software Innovations' industry-specific standard solutions are based on the tried-and-tested core technologies inubit BPM (Business Process Management), Visual Rules BRM (Business Rules Management) and Device Management M2M (Machine-to-Machine). These core components can be integrated seamlessly and allow projects for the Internet of Things and Services (IoTS) to be rapidly and efficiently implemented, from new cloud services to traditional enterprise applications. In the networked world, that allows customers to quickly and efficiently create new business processes and models, and improve existing ones.
"Having adesso as a partner will give us new access to, and opportunities in, a variety of industries. We are very pleased about that," said Jan Weigel, Head
of the Energy division at Bosch Software Innovations.
Ulrich Erik Redmann, Head of the Competence Center in the Utilities division at adesso, explained the importance of the new cooperation to adesso: "The standard solutions offered by Bosch Software Innovations represent a significant extension of the portfolio of solutions we offer. They will allow us to
1/4

cover a much larger value chain. For our customers, it means that, in the future, we will be able to handle even more comprehensive projects."
The partnership agreement gives adesso the opportunity to strengthen its offering of comprehensive services for consultation, project selection, implementation and operations in the fields of IoTS, BPM and BRM project execution. The target industries for adesso include energy supply, insurance, healthcare and public administration.
The primary advantage of the new partnership for customers is that, in the future, they will be able to get project solutions from a single source: the services of adesso, which are based on detailed industry, methodological and consulting expertise, and the innovative platforms and industry-specific products of Bosch Software Innovations.
Within the scope of the partnership, adesso will receive direct access to the expertise and resources of Bosch Software Innovations, including access to its testing and demonstration systems, detailed information and beta versions.
The IT service provider can also make use of Bosch's structured staff development programme. And, not least, the partnership agreement includes mutual marketing activities such as roadshows and business breakfasts.
