Karlsruhe, 11.03.2026 – How do companies find stable and reliable partners in times of economic volatility? With the “CrefoZert“, which was launched in 2009, Creditreform has been providing key pointers for years. At regular intervals, the credit agency reviews the financial situation of medium-sized companies and assesses them on the basis of objective criteria. Companies with a particularly high credit rating are awarded the renowned creditworthiness certificate. Karlsruhe-based Asseco Solutions has now passed the strict test criteria for the eleventh time in a row and has thus been awarded an extension of the seal of approval until December 2026. Specifically, this certifies that the ERP specialist has a “good” balance sheet credit rating based on the past annual financial statements and therefore a “low” risk of insolvency.
“If you want to remain competitive, you need long-term security in an area as central to companies as ERP. At the same time, it is important to invest in future-proof technology, especially artificial intelligence,” emphasizes Ralf Bachthaler, Member of the Management Board of Asseco Solutions. “However, patience is often required until actual efficiency gains are achieved. This is another reason why a solid financial basis is absolutely crucial in today’s world – as the CrefoZert now confirms once again. Thanks to it, we are in a position to invest sustainably in the further development of our solutions and thus make the key technologies of the future available to our customers without them having to carry out ‘basic research’ themselves. The fact that we have now received the Creditreform seal of approval for the eleventh time in a row is testament to the high level of consistency with which we have been supporting our customers and partners on the path to the future for years.”
Multi-stage test procedure
The Creditreform certification, which was established in 2009, is awarded on the basis of a multi-stage audit. The creditworthiness index plays a central role here. It describes the certainty with which the company can meet its payment obligations on time and in full. In addition, the experts analyze the balance sheet creditworthiness by checking the current annual financial statements for completeness and results. Finally, future prospects are also included in the certification process. These are determined as part of an analytical discussion with the management and then assessed. Only companies that fully meet all three assessment criteria are awarded the “CrefoZert”. Due to these strict requirements, only around two percent of German companies pass the assessment procedure.
