All about d.velop

d.velop is a leading provider of software and services for the continuous digitalisation of general business processes and their industry-specific specialist variants, serving the content services platform market.

Aside from the established portfolio of ECM (Enterprise Content Management) products for integrative information management, document management, archiving, and workflow management, d.velop also offers products for digital document delivery, digital signing, AI-based automation of document-related processes e.g., incoming supplier invoices, and digital contract management, as well as tools to integrate employees into business processes through flexible, mobile, and remote-access capabilities.

These products are distributed through an international network of more than 400 specialist partners and directly by d.velop AG for strategic key accounts. D.velop products are increasingly provided and delivered on a software-as-a-service basis via cloud services or as managed services, i.e., where d.velop either partially or completely assumes responsibility for the operation of existing infrastructure on the customer’s premises.

At the same time, we guarantee compliance with all relevant legal requirements through a sophisticated compliance management system that covers every method of delivery.
Providing easy access to products via the d.velop platform is a core part of our business strategy. d.velop AG focuses on the ongoing development and expansion of its platform for document management and office automation. The simultaneous establishment of an app builder programme in May 2019 has created a virtuous circle. The more than 4.5 million individual users among d.velop’s customer base have direct access to a large number of extremely useful applications. This growing reach also makes the platform increasingly interesting to app builders. Developments found on the platform can originate from d.velop partners, d.velop itself, as well as customers and external developers.

That’s how d.velop helps businesses and organisations to realise their full potential – providing digital services that connect people, and comprehensively simplify and redesign processes and operations. Seeing itself as a true partner to its customers, aiding them on the journey through digital transformation, d.velop also offers consulting services around all aspects of digitalisation through its own expert team. The d.velop portfolio addresses many key digital transformation objectives.

d.velop products – in on-premise, cloud, or hybrid setups – are used by more than 14,500 customers with over 4.5 million users across all industries.

Christoph Pliete and Thilo Gukelberger laid the foundation for today’s d.velop AG in 1992 with the founding of engineering firm Pliete und Gukelberger I.P.G. GbR. One year later, they converted the GbR into a GmbH – a limited liability company. Their product was d.3ecm – a digital archive and document/workflow management solution. The name d.velop was officially used for the first time on 23 October 1996. This was the day Pliete and Gukelberger founded d.velop EDV-Systemlösungen-Verwaltungs-GmbH and d.velop EDV-Systemlösungen GmbH & Co. KG, which took over the marketing of their established successful product.

d.velop became a public limited company on 1 January 2000. d.velop AG, which is not listed on the stock exchange, was created through a merger of d.velop EDV-Systemlösungen GmbH & Ko. KG, Verwaltungs-GmbH, and I.P.G. GmbH.

Aside from the established portfolio of ECM (Enterprise Content Management) products for integrative information management, document management, archiving, and workflow management, d.velop also offers products for digital document delivery, digital signing, AI-based automation of document-related processes e.g., incoming supplier invoices, and digital contract management, as well as tools to integrate employees into business processes through flexible, mobile, and remote-access capabilities.
