25 years in the IT industry feels like a journey through time. A journey that has had its ups and downs, successes and failures. It has revealed many great things and shown us, both as a company and in our private lives, that the only resistance is change. We as virtual7 are celebrating the changes of the last 25 years together at our locations in Karlsruhe, Munich, Nuremberg, Pfäffikon and Timisoara, but also with our public sector customers and the citizens of Germany!
FROM THE FLOPPY DISK TO THE CLOUD
A LOOK IN THE PAST
In this exciting and detailed podcast episode, our two Managing Directors Marcus and Jochen give personal insights into 25 years of virtual7. From the first idea of the two students at that time, the first projects and employees to the outlook on the future. Have fun listening! (only available in german)
1996 – 2005
In 1995 the first Microsoft Internet Explorer was released. The Internet and with it the “new media” was gaining ground. The first customer projects were mainly company websites and different platforms.
2005 – 2015
In terms of technology and appearance, the profile of virtual7 has developed corners and edges. The logo shows a certain similarity to a sliding sliding puzzle, but stands for character, modularity and stability. To support this, virtual7 gmbh is typographically complemented.
seit 2015
In the course of the major rebranding, the current logo of virtual7 GmbH was created. Together with the claim “ORACLE. EXPERTISE.PASSION.” it ushered in a new era and virtual7 set a clear focus on Oracle technologies. To this day, it stands for stability and dynamic.

Karlsruhe
The headquarters of virtual7 GmbH is designed entirely in the style of an open and light-flooded open-plan office. In addition to the numerous workstations on the top floor of the building, the office has another floor with conference rooms.
Munich
The office is located at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich. Surrounded by the life and rush of the big city. It was founded in 2014. The office in Munich offers space for about 10 employees.
Nuremberg
Our Nuremberg office is located in the heart of the city and is the youngest of all offices. It was opened in 2018.
Timisoara
Our Romanian colleagues have a fantastic view of the city. The open-plan office is the second largest space in our locations and was established back in 2004.
Pfäffikon
The smallest of our offices is located in the small town in Switzerland and was established in 2015.
Federal Information Technology Centre BUND
Our cooperation is characterized by the good and trustful working method of the virtual7 employees. With their Oracle know-how, they support the second-level support and provide reliable technical support for the more than 1000 users at the Federal Office of Administration. The very homogeneous team has been providing ITZBund support for years and has become an integral part of our project. In the shortest we have built up a team that we are constantly developing. This collaboration is simply fun!
ISO Public Services IT for E-Government
For many years, the ISO Group has a strong partnership with virtual7, which our teams actively live out together on a daily basis in numerous projects for Germany’s largest public authority, the Federal Employment Agency. It is therefore a special pleasure for us to congratulate virtual7 on the best age a company can have. We look forward to working with virtual7 in the coming years to make Germany’s e-government fit for the 21st century.
CyberForum
Since 1999, we have been connected not only by purely business interests, but above all by a friendship. virtual7 has developed super over all these years and the two founders can be really proud of their achievement. Today, we are still working on joint projects and the collaboration is always a lot of fun. Especially the new corporate culture makes us “want more”.
LUTZ & ASSOCIATES TAX AND ACCOUNTING
From the beginning, the relationship with Jochen and Marcus has been open, fair and trusting. It is a pleasure to work with them and their team in Timisoara. Our advice was always followed and the audits were impeccable, showing a healthy company that complies with the law. The company has grown over time from 2 to more than 30 employees, many of whom, have been with the company for more than 10 years.
EHWA
More than 20 years of successful cooperation now connect our tax and legal firm with the IT consulting and software company. Together, we remember two decades that were characterized by constant growth. As tax consultants, we naturally look back at the figures and note: today, virtual7’s sales are around 250 times higher than at the beginning of our partnership – that’s really something to be proud of. As reliably as the company continues to grow, so does our collaboration with the teams.
We look forward to continuing to support the company in the future and congratulate virtual7 to a quarter of a century!
