80% of industrial companies are still working with outdated IT systems – a risk for failures, delivery delays and competitiveness.
Production systems are there to run. But what happens when the software slows down, maintenance becomes a stumbling block and updates bring more risk than solution? Then it’s not just a plant that comes to a standstill, but entire supply chains, industries – and people who depend on functioning systems. You too.
Our customer’s existing Manufacturing Execution System (MES) only worked in “just about” mode: errors were detected too late, adjustments took too long, maintenance became a burden. A rebuild was overdue – not at some point, but now.
virtual7 brings a new mindset: agile, forward-looking and technologically precise. The MES was reorganized with DevOps, test automation and continuous development. The software was stabilized, processes were modernized – and problems became visible before they could arise.
Artificial intelligence now provides additional support: it analyzes data, detects anomalies and ensures that failures are prevented before they occur. This turns maintenance into a productivity gain. The result: a system that runs. Stable. Flexible. Future-proof.
And that shows: Digitalization is not a vision. It is the basis for economic stability – for companies, supply chains and jobs. For all of us. Also for you.

Sometimes detours lead us exactly where we need to be. That was the case for Philipp: while looking for a home office job, he ended up in a job interview by chance – which was actually only intended as an exercise. Today, he is working on an exciting digitalization project and looks back on a surprising turn of events that has had a lasting impact on his professional life.
Digitalization is not an end in itself – it is the key to future viability. This is precisely where virtual7’s Customer Cluster Tech Services comes in. It focuses on customers with an innovative, technical background and actively helps to shape how modern technologies are used to improve processes, make data usable and make infrastructures resilient.
The focus is on topics such as data science, containerization and infrastructure as code – key tools for future-proof IT architectures. This is not just about specific solutions, but also about strategic expertise: findings and technologies from the cluster’s projects flow into other areas at virtual7 in a targeted manner and create new perspectives there.
In contrast to other clusters, the customer environment here is particularly diverse. Whether in the chemical industry, aviation or non-profit organizations – Tech Services develops tailor-made solutions for a wide range of challenges. And with the aim of not only supporting the digital transformation, but actively driving it forward.
Because if you take digitalization seriously, you need flexible, scalable and intelligent technical foundations. This is exactly what we work on – day after day, project after project.
Together we are shaping the digital future.
