DATABUND - Verband der mittelständischen IT-Dienstleister und Softwarehersteller für den öffentlichen Sektor e.V. (Association of medium-sized IT service providers and software producers for the public sector) - was founded in January 2006 as a central forum for specialized process producers and operators whose products, software and IT solutions are used in public administrations, primarily at the municipal level, but also at the district, state or federal level. In the meantime, DATABUND has established itself as a competent interest group for the public IT sector and is the contact for decision makers and multipliers from politics and administration.
