A spirit of optimism and euphoria at Digimondo GmbH! In the sixth year of its existence, the successful IoT software provider has strengthened its management with Sascha Schlosser, sharpened its profile and claim as a specialist for IoT software in the course of a strategic realignment, presented a new brand outfit - and defined ambitious goals. The innovations were announced and presented as part of the "birthday party" for the company's fifth anniversary in Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie concert hall. Employees, customers, partners and investors felt a wave of energy and enthusiasm that was triggered with the starting signal for the next stage of the company's development.
Sascha Schlosser, Managing Director at Digimondo since November 1, 2021, alongside Christopher Rath in the role of Chief Market Officer, said: "We want to turn the show case that IoT often still is today into a comprehensive pro case, i.e. professionalize and expand the business. All the signs for this are favorable: Digimondo has the best possible product at the start with the IoT software niota and the Digital Twin, consists of a great team, has matured as a company, lives customer and solution orientation and has built up extensive know-how. In addition, the market for IoT services is developing highly dynamically in the course of digitalization. The stage is set to write the next chapter of the success story at Digimondo."
"We are now an established software company"
Christopher Rath referred to what has already been achieved, which can be built upon: "We support 80 national and international customers, are on the road worldwide in several rollouts of international corporations, have more than 2,000 users in the systems and process more than 3 million messages daily with a strong upward trend. We can proudly say that we are now an established software company. We have achieved this by reducing complexity for our customers through simplicity of use, by quickly enabling motivating digitization successes among our customers, and by keeping the fun factor high. 'Enjoy your Business!' is therefore also our new company motto."
An expanded management team with additional competencies is to pave Digimondo's way to an even more successful future. In addition to founders Christopher Rath (CEO) and Marcus Walena (CTO), Dr. Dennis Kolberg (CPO) and now Sascha Schlosser have been in charge since 2020. Walena, enthusiastic developer, is responsible for the technical evolution of the software. Kolberg drives the product management to further push solution orientation and user friendliness of the IoT platform niota and to make the software even more versatile usable and attractive for the customers. And Schlosser, who has excellent networks in the energy, IT and IoT industries, is expected to boost new customer business with his extensive market, process and sales experience.
"Verticalization of business"
Which target groups are to be targeted? Topics such as smart municipal utilities, smart city, digitization of municipal services of general interest and submetering will continue to be the focus. However, the applications used in the municipal sector are also of interest to numerous other industries. On the one hand, Digimondo wants to address these customers in industrial sectors of all kinds itself. However, an essential part of the concept is also to enable the municipal utility customers to offer IoT services to commercial and industrial customers in turn. Sascha Schlosser refers to this as "verticalization of the business".
The investors regiocom and enercity were optimistic. They believe in DIGIMONDO because they believe in the people at Digimondo. Dr. Sebastian Kerz, Managing Director of regiocom SE, said in Hamburg: "We will see to it that we make you big. We believe in you, we believe in the story and the team. What I hear from the market is that you guys are really good. We're convinced we've backed the right horse."
"Digimondo helps teach cities how to think"
enercity CEO Dr. Susanna Zapreva was impressed by the passion with which work is done at Digimondo: "Many cities are already taking advantage of the opportunities offered by connectivity, thereby increasing the quality of life for their citizens. Through smart technology, we can use energy more efficiently, manage mobility more easily, share knowledge faster and gain time for the analog things in life. With a broad portfolio of solutions, Digimondo helps our cities think. On the occasion of Digimondo's fifth anniversary, I offer my sincere congratulations. And for the future, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a continued large portion of innovative strength, from which new solutions will emerge that will inspire our customers."
