process efficiency

Contracts/Order

Dortmund (euro adhoc) - adesso has won a public tender from KfW
Bankengruppe (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) for the migration and
modernisation of the websites maintained by Germany's largest
business development bank. The contract also includes a four-year
consultancy and development partnership aimed at the sustained
strategic expansion and improvement of KfW's online communication
activities. The technology underpinning the contract comes in the
form of the FirstSpirit content management system developed by adesso
subsidiary e-Spirit AG. It will be introduced as a unified,
group-wide platform geared towards future needs.

The selection process comprised several stages, and at the end of
them all, KfW selected adesso AG. This decision was made because the
IT specialist's products and services had the quality necessary to
meet the bank's catalogue of requirements. Based on considerable
references that range from process optimisation to portal
development, adesso was once again successful in defining an
attractive overall package of IT services, solutions and products.
The project will entail migrating all portals and websites to the new
system: this will affect approximately 20,000 webpages, 17,000
documents and 215 forms. To ensure that the data transfer is
transparent and secure, adesso will deploy its in-house in|MOTION
solution, which has shown time and again that it is the ideal tool
for handling migration projects.

The tender won by adesso plays a key role in a large-scale KfW
campaign to further enhance the quality of its customer communication
and processes, and raise the bank's public profile.

KfW Bankengruppe is one of the leading business development banks in
the world. Founded in 1948 as an institution operating under public
sector law, KfW is now owned by the Federal Republic of Germany (80
%) and the country's constituent states (20 %). With a balance sheet
worth EUR 494.8 billion (on 31 December 2011), it is one of the three
largest banks in Germany. KfW's activities within the country and
abroad focus on making long-term improvement to people's economic,
social and environmental conditions. In 2011, it issued EUR 70.4
billion in development aid and support. Providing assistance to small
and medium-sized companies is one of its main target activities.
Others include support for entrepreneurial businesses, programmes for
the residential sector, promotion of environmental protection and
education for private customers, financial support for municipalities
and regional development banks, financial support for exports and
economic projects, and financial support for countries undergoing
economic development and restructuring.

Banking forms one of adesso's key business fields. Winning a contract
for a new project from one of the world's most important development
banks enhances adesso's reputation in the sector and underscores the
attractiveness of the company's portfolio for financial institutions.
