Project Contents and Goals

In recent years, digitalisation has gained increasing importance within the group. By the end of 2015, the previously used solution was no longer satisfactory. Thus, the company decided to implement a new document management system (DMS) that supports ongoing digitalisation efforts and enables the depiction of digital business processes.

At the end of a standardised selection process, the company chose d.velop for several reasons, as explained by Kevin Sanders, IT Security Officer at DUVENBECK Consulting GmbH & Co. KG: “Firstly, the proximity to d.velop – because Gescher is not far from Bocholt. Secondly, we really benefit from the personal support provided by d.velop, eliminating the need for an intermediary service provider.”
Sanders reflects on the past two and a half years, concluding that the decision to go with d.velop was a good one. Together, the DUVENBECK Group and d.velop have already successfully implemented various processes in the digital environment, with several more projects lined up for the near future.
