With support from IT service provider adesso, SOKA-BAU, the social insurance fund for the German construction industry, has transformed its worker posting procedure (Arbeitnehmer-Entsendeverfahren, AEV) into a fully digital end-to-end service as part of its company-wide digitalisation programme. Rather than relying on analogue, inflexible processes and systems, SOKA-BAU now has an entirely digital service for the posting procedure.

Last year, the IT service provider achieved its ambitious targets ahead of time, and that momentum has continued into 2025: after the third quarter alone, adesso more than doubled its GenAI revenue for the entire previous year. By that point, the company had completed more than 100 projects for more than 50 customers. A key driver of this development is significantly increased demand for production-ready AI solutions that can be integrated quickly, securely and seamlessly into existing business processes.
