Press Releases

By Volker Gruhn, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and founder of adesso:

No data, no AI. This basically sums up what many companies are currently experiencing. What they would actually like to achieve is data-driven working and using AI applications to deal with such issues as the shortage of skilled labour, supply chain disruptions, and other urgent problems. However, once it comes to implementing specific initiatives or projects, many realise that they do not have the data required. In this respect, a German SME based in Swabia is impacted just as much as a global player with hundreds of sites.

Although generative AI (GenAI) is now firmly established in day-to-day working life, managers and their staff have very different views on how it should be used, what is expected of it, and what the benefits are. This is confirmed by the updated and expanded GenAI study by IT service provider adesso, in which a total of 778 managers and employees from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH) participated. While top management is already used to working with these tools, the rest of the workforce is often more hesitant.

IT service provider adesso has won the prestigious BigData Insider Award 2024 in the “Big Data Consulting” category for the fourth time running. This latest award reinforces adesso’s leading position in the field of data and analytics and confirms once again its expertise in data-driven business transformation.

adesso announces a milestone in its Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) business. With more than 100 GenAI projects completed in August, the IT service provider has already reached its target for the calendar year 2024. The company anticipates a further increase in demand for GenAI solutions at the end of the year and aims to double its current revenue by the full year. adesso's GenAI customers include EnBW, RWE and BayernLB.

The latest https://www.sustainabilitytransformation.org/ (STM) recently confirmed the growing importance of sustainability strategies for companies. Over 75 per cent of respondents stated that sustainability has become much more important to them. Company managers are no longer asking themselves whether they should act sustainably, but how they can best do so. The reasons are obvious. Sustainable practices make it easier for companies to meet regulatory requirements and prepare for future market changes.
