Subtitle: Two-year framework agreement concludes the purchase of at 
least 1,300 person-days by German Federal Bureau of Statistics

adesso AG announces its first large-scale
project in the sector of German public authorities. In the context of
a German Federal Bureau of Statistics´ tendering, adesso is taking on
the development of certain IT components of the IT concept "Census 
2011", as part of next year´s EU-wide population census. The 
framework agreement has initially been concluded for two years and 
ensures the purchase of at least 1,300 person-days.

With the registry supported population census, a new method will be 
introduced where mainly existing administrative registries will be 
used to collect the data. The realisation and implementation of the 
new method as well as the data consolidation that comes with it 
require comprehensive and reliable IT support. adesso won the tender 
for a subproject for developing the address and building registry as 
well as designing the registration and purchase data registry. As its
main task adesso will take on the implementation and maintenance of 
the software components involved in the subproject.

The results of the 2011 census will be closely followed by economic 
and policy decision-makers. Based on its experience in complex 
projects and its expertise in development, adesso sees the chance to 
feature its skills in order to settle further collaboration with the 
Federal Bureau of Statistics and the other companies involved.

The public authorities sector is being expanded into one of adesso´s 
core industries.
