Data processing center
A data processing center (abbr .: DVZ) was a form of computer center in the GDR . In contrast to the company's own data centers, they took on billing (data acquisition, data processing, archiving) or software development tasks for companies and state institutions that did not have their own data centers. Most of them were located in the district towns. They were united in the VVB data processing , from 1980 in the data processing combine .
After reunification, the trust desperately looked for buyers for the former data processing centers. In the course of the restructuring of the economy in the GDR, it was able to convert some of the data processing centers into municipal area data centers or to keep specialized service providers on the market. Examples of this are the DVZ Gera or the DVZ Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, both of which still exist today, the data experts company that emerged from the DVZ Neubrandenburg or the DVZ Magdeburg , which belonged to T-Systems until 2001 and was dissolved in 2004.
