"Today, abas Business Software is being used in over 1,600 companies and is known for its quality, guaranteed future and investment security", says Werner Strub, CEO and founder of ABAS Software AG.
The strength of medium-sized businesses is the flexibility to constantly adapt to the changing requirements of the market place.
Here the business software plays a central role; if it can optimally support the constant new requirements of the company - at acceptable conditions - its extensibility and adaptability will contribute decisively to the competitiveness over a long period of time.
The abas Business Software has a high functional degree of coverage in the standard and is, due to the special software architecture, flexibly, easily and quickly adapted to sector- and company-specific demands.
ABAS employs a strategy of continuous development of the software.
Every year approximately 30% of the entire software code is renewed.
With regularly carried out upgrades the user will receive a completely reworked software and current technologies every three to five years.
In the upgrade area the abas user also gains from the software architecture.
Company-specific adaptations are not affected by an upgrade.
Time and cost intensive adaptations after an upgrade or the migration to a new system, as is usual practice with other ERP systems, are not required with abas Business Software.
The evolutionary system approach of the abas Business Software is unique and offers users long term high value.
ABAS has found its place in the turbulent ERP market.

The users appreciate this: abas Business Software gains about 25% of its new customers through recommendations! For years the ERP market has been defined by initial public offers and business combinations, the process of concentration on the provider side continues.
Experts anticipate that the traditional software market will be even further concentrated by business combinations and buyouts.
ABAS on the other hand stands for independence.
The company is in a good position, the equity ratio is a proud 75% - the independence of banks and investors has been guaranteed for many years.

ABAS lives with its users and looks for the constructive dialog with them, their various suggestions give important impetus for the further development of the abas Business Software.
Directness and trust contribute to the fact that the cooperation is permanently satisfying for both sides.
When a new customer was asked why abas Business Software was selected, he answered: "For us it was important to find a partner for whom we are just as important as he is to us".
