Saskia Informations-Systeme GmbH is a German software company based in the Chemnitz district of Mittelbach .
history
In 1990 Ralf Grünewald, Joachim Engel and Wolfgang Köhler founded GEK Consulting GmbH to offer services in the IT sector. Complex Informationsverarbeitung GmbH emerged from the VEB data processing center in Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1990. In 1992 GEK Consulting took over this company and continued it as GEK / COMPLEX Informations-Systeme GmbH.
In addition to various IT services, the company was also commissioned to use the central computer-supported municipal accounting software from the data center Baden-Württemberg FIWES. Since this software is a municipal and state financed product and municipal data, further use by a private company was viewed critically. The rights of use to the program were therefore transferred from 1994 to three municipal associations newly founded with the support of the data center and the Saxon City and Municipal Council. The program should run in the Stuttgart data center. In return, GEK / Complex founded the subsidiary Kommunale Informationsverarbeitung Süd-Sachsen GmbH (KISS) in 1993 and planned to sell 51% of the shares to the municipalities. This was to ensure that FIWES could continue to be used in regional data centers in Saxony.
Since not all municipalities participated in the special purpose associations and preferred data processing in Saxony, the plans of the special purpose associations failed. But GEK / Complex did not implement the project either. Finally it was agreed that the GEK / Complex could use FIWES until the end of 1995. At the same time, the company began developing its own software, which could be offered to its customers as an alternative after the licenses had expired. In contrast to the FIWES process, the new SASKIA-HKR program was not a pure central computer process , but could also run on local servers.
In 1994 the KISS was renamed to Kommunale Informationsverarbeitung Südsachsen GmbH (KIS) and in 1996 to Kommunale Informations-Systeme GmbH.
In 1997 the company group moved into its office building in an industrial park in Chemnitz-Mittelbach. In 1998, SASKIA-HKR was the first accounting program to receive legal approval from the Saxon Institute for Communal Data Processing for use in Saxon communes. In 2001, Kommunale Informations-Systeme GmbH was renamed Saskia Informations-Systeme GmbH. The company offers a wide range of IT services. In addition to its own products in the field of commercial and administrative offense law, software from other companies (including for registry offices, payroll accounting, passport and registration systems) is offered.
In 2006, the previous shareholders sold their shares in the company for reasons of age to the Envia Mitteldeutsche Energie subsidiary GISA (90%) and the Zweckverband Kommunale Informationsverarbeitung Sachsen (10%). The Zweckverband, the successor to the three municipal data associations, was looking for a certified or certifiable HKR program for its members after the FIWES certification expired in 2003. As a result, there was close coordination with the KISA association, especially in the area of marketing and sales.
With the introduction of Doppik in the Saxon municipalities from 2007, the Saskia software was completely revised and adapted to the new legal requirements. The commercial association KISA markets the HKR software as IFRSachsen.Ki-Sa.
As part of a realignment of the business at the IT service provider GISA as well as financial problems at Zweckverband, the sale of Saskia Informations-Systeme GmbH to Robotron Database Software GmbH in Dresden takes place on January 1, 2014 .
