Karlsruhe, 23.05.2025 – “Seize opportunities. Live innovation. Growing together.” – This was the motto of this year’s Asseco Solutions Customer Day South, which took place on May 22 at the Kultur Quartier Kufstein. A total of 120 participants from Austria, South Tyrol and Bavaria learned about the possibilities of current technological innovations such as AI as part of a varied program of presentations – as well as the question of how the corresponding benefits can be implemented in practice. The focus was on the new APplus 9, which prepares customers for the highly automated working methods of the future with a completely new ERP approach.
“The potential of state-of-the-art AI technology for a company’s efficiency is enormous – but a state-of-the-art express train can never reach its top speed if it is running on an outdated, disruption-prone rail network,” emphasized Asseco CEO Ralf Bachthaler during the opening keynote. “The same applies to AI: in order for it to really enable the high levels of automation that companies so urgently need, it needs the right foundation.”
“And this is precisely the foundation we are laying with our new APplus 9,” added Christian Leopoldseder, Managing Director Austria at Asseco Solutions. “With the innovative Flow Mode usage concept, we are digitally mapping central core processes. This provides the rail network on which modern AI agents will be able to travel in the future without getting lost. With the right prerequisites, the change will become a unique opportunity for Austrian SMEs.”
Condensed expert knowledge, practical exchange of experience
The customer event focused on exactly what this new usage concept looks like in practice and what other advantages it offers in day-to-day business. Asseco experts and guest speakers from business and science also provided information on numerous other current topics such as ERP internationalization, mobility, modern support models and the future of the ERP industry in general.
The theory was supplemented by a compact ERP trade exhibition, where participants were able to gain a concrete impression of the functionality of the new APplus 9 by means of various live demos and personal discussions with product experts. Specialized functions such as APplus Mobile Service, the new e-mail integration, electronic invoice processing and various partner products were also available for testing.
Finally, the event also provided ample opportunity to share first-hand experiences and for personal networking, not least at the relaxed drinks reception at the end of the Customer Day.
