Company profile

Innovative, platform-independent, ideally adaptable to the needs of every project and every company. That was the mission of Maik Dorl, Dr. Marten Huisinga, and Jörg Cohrs in the fall of 2000 when the three founders set to work in Berlin's Kreuzberg district. The first version of Projektron BCS was delivered to its first customers immediately after the company was founded in February 2001. And it was impressive, because browser-based project management did not exist at that time! The first award was not long in coming: the Internet World Award in the “Best Application” category was the first trophy in our now well-stocked and repeatedly expanded trophy cabinet.

To this day, the signs point to steady, continuous, and sustainable growth. Neither the bursting of the internet bubble in 2001, the financial and economic crisis that began in 2008, nor the coronavirus crisis have been able to dampen our momentum. On the contrary, it is precisely in times of tight budgets that Projektron BCS (Business Coordination Software) has been able to play to its strengths and ease the cost pressure on our customers. The software's range of functions has been expanded module by module, function by function.

As the number of customers grew, so did the number of employees and locations. In 2005, we set up the first location outside Berlin in Munich. Just one year later, the third location opened in Hamburg, in 2015 we inaugurated our office in Stuttgart, and in 2022 our office in Würzburg. The goal of expanding with Projektron offices in various locations is to offer our customers the best possible service and competent advice on site. A move to a modern office building in the Mitte district in 2010 also significantly expanded the Projektron headquarters in Berlin. The strategy has been a complete success to this day. Our customers can rely on the fact that we stand for

• quality,
• practicality,
• investment security and
• comprehensive service.

24 years after the company was founded,

• over 130 Projektron employees at
• 5 locations are working for
• over 800 client companies, each with
• up to 8,000 user licenses in
• over 10 countries.

We look back on a successful company history and are still far from reaching our goal. We continue to grow.

Growing, working, living: our corporate culture

Our vibrant corporate culture is the result of dedicated HR work that has been successful for over 20 years. From the very beginning, the demand for excellence and equal opportunities has been important. The proportion of women at Projektron is above average for a company in the ITC sector. More than half of the employees work less than 40 hours a week and more than 90 percent of the employees have a university degree. Projektron has a low turnover rate.

• We value a healthy work-life balance and, thanks to flexible working hours, family-friendly part-time models, paid overtime and fair remuneration, prove to be an attractive employer that has won many awards.
• We have been providing training since 2003 and, through our university partnerships, enable students to complete dual courses of study, practical semesters and final theses at Projektron.
• Numerous training opportunities enable employees of all experience levels and departments to expand their existing skills or open up completely new horizons.
• A variety of company events, health training, massages, regular sports activities and the daily hot lunch not only provide ample opportunity for team building and exchange between departments, but also for exercise and health awareness in everyday life.
