adesso opens office in Siegen

adesso SE continues to expand its footprint in North Rhine-Westphalia, opening its 10th location in the federal state and the 30th office in Germany in Siegen. The adesso team has just moved in to a floor at Westnetz GmbH’s regional centre in central Siegen. The Dortmund-based adesso Group currently employs over 8,300 people all over Europe and continues to grow.

The same strategy adesso applies to its expansion nationwide is also being followed in Siegen, with the growth- and innovation-oriented group focusing on proximity to major corporate clients in strong economic regions and preferring larger university cities to cover the continued high demand for qualified and highly educated employees. The University of Siegen is training up the young professionals of tomorrow in many areas that are of interest to adesso as a tech company, including business information technology and STEM subjects, and is also home to people with business and industry expertise seeking a new career in IT.

Siegen-Wittgenstein/Sauerland is the third-strongest economic region in North Rhine-Westphalia and therefore attractive to companies such as adesso. IT and service providers have been in the minority here in the past, with the economic landscape dominated by manufacturing companies, which adesso can serve expertly with the digitalisation solutions developed by its Manufacturing Industry division and combining industry 4.0, the internet of things and data and analytics.

The new Site Manager at adesso Siegen, Dr Dirk Thorsten Vogel, is a Siegerland native. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Siegen and, before joining adesso, worked for a number of tech firms in the local area. Dr Vogel, whose doctorate is in software engineering, is looking forward to being a driving force for digitalisation in the Siegerland region together with his launch team of up to 50 employees: “The digital expansion of our society and economy is a pressing matter, and Germany has plenty of room for improvement in a number of areas. Our company is an attractive employer for the Siegerland region. We are a certified Great Place To Work®and also won the title of Germany’s Best Employer in 2020. We look forward to establishing our presence in Siegen and offering high-calibre development opportunities for experienced IT experts but also young university graduates.”

Dr Vogel also heads up the Health business area, which designs and implements forward-thinking digital solutions for the healthcare industry backed by a team of more than 300 employees. “We are driven by our desire to modernise healthcare through digitalisation and make it fit for the future,” says Dr Vogel, explaining the motivation behind the move. “We strive to facilitate high-quality patient care and also help drive down costs for operators.” adesso’s customers in this business area include statutory health insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, laboratories, pharmacies, accounting centres and providers of digital health applications.

The existing network of contacts in the region will be very useful in quickly establishing adesso’s presence at the new location. “As a local, I am particularly thrilled to get the chance to stay in contact more easily with the people I know here in the Siegerland region,” says Dr Vogel. “The office in the city centre is the perfect location for it: It features open-plan office areas and large seminar and meeting rooms. adesso can also make use of facilities on the ground floor, which include the reception and the cafeteria, which are ideal places for meetings with customers and guests.”

adesso will be offering its full range of services at the Siegen location, encompassing software development, IT operational management and consulting services across fifteen different sectors. adesso Siegen will, together with all other adesso offices, benefit from its inclusion in the adesso Group’s high-performance, Europe-wide network, now comprising over 8,300 employees.
