It wasn't a garage, but a small basement office in Hamburg, where 25 years ago a success story began, combining entrepreneurial spirit and "the right idea in the right place at the right time". In 1994 Ebrahim Minaie founded today's HAVI Solutions under the name "HAVI Computer-Service". His innovative and simple idea to offer audit-proof data migration as a service was groundbreaking in the DMS industry.
The first successfully implemented project was immediately followed by the next orders and the young company passed its baptism of fire on the market within a short period of time. In the 25 years after the company was founded, HAVI made a name for itself throughout Europe as a specialist for complex data migrations of large archives and as a problem solver for tricky data formats and system constellations of any kind.
In doing so, HAVI has always focused on the requirements of its customers and has always been committed to a cooperative partnership. The migration specialist can now look back on over 700 successfully completed projects and a whole range of innovative software solutions that are in use internationally.
„We are proud of a quarter century of company history. In the IT industry, 25 years is a long time. There is no secret of success for it. But our principle has always been an uncompromising focus on the customer.
Our special thanks therefore go to our customers for their trust and loyalty over many years. As well as our partners and our committed employees. They have all trusted us and have grown with us - many of them for more than two decades,“, so CEO H. Jürgen Schröder.
While such an anniversary may be an occasion to look back, HAVI wants to look far ahead right now and is doing everything in its power to be well prepared for future developments and trends.
„In 2019 and beyond there will be new and exciting cooperations. We are working on product innovations and are intensively engaged in machine learning for the analysis, structuring and enrichment of Big Data“, says Schröder. Nobody knows what the future will bring.
But the courage to change is one of the most important prerequisites in the digital age. HAVI takes on the numerous challenges that this change brings with it and looks forward to the next 25 years with excitement and confidence.
