Typical problems
What we hear again and again in this industry
Four points that surface in almost every discovery workshop – and that we tackle concretely.
DATEV performance slows staff down
DATEV applications respond sluggishly, the client file takes 10 seconds to open, batch imports torture the network – every day, in every branch.
Branches, home office and client visits
Staff move between headquarters, branches, home office and client sites. A consistent, secure workspace without VPN gymnastics is missing.
Client confidentiality is non-negotiable
Client data must never land on private devices, never travel over unencrypted channels, never leave the country. Compliance and professional duty.
Seasonal peaks (annual close, income tax season)
During peak weeks load doubles. Without scalable infrastructure either staff patience or client deadlines suffer.

Anonymised industry case
Tax firm, Lower Main region – 60 FTE, headquarters + 3 branches
Profile
Classic mid-market tax practice with full DATEV setup, focus on SME mandates (1,200 active mandates).
Starting point
DATEV ran on its own server at headquarters, branches connected via VPN. Performance was borderline, backup only on tape. After a near-miss ransomware incident it was clear: this would not hold.
Our solution
Migration of all DATEV seats to virtual desktops in our Frankfurt DC, branches reconnected via layer-3 site interconnect, backup with object lock and monthly restore test, cloud PBX with DATEV integration.
Outcome
- DATEV login < 8 sec (previously 30–60 sec)
- 120 desktops migrated in 6 weeks, in parallel to ongoing operations
- 0 data leakage since migration – client data never leaves the DC
- < 1 hour RTO for full restore in the annual DR drill

What customers from Tax advisory ask us up front
