Headquartered in Munich, Germany, aconso leads innovation in HR Document Management Systems (“HR DMS”) by providing the leading cloud-based HR DMS.

Today’s Human Resources (“HR”) departments in large companies are more global and complex than ever before, due to the implementation of GDPR protocols and other compliance requirements, growing complexities of IT systems, increased focus on employee satisfaction and flexible working and more part-time employees on the payroll.

aconso’s system has unmatched product and integration capabilities across many Human Capital Management systems (“HCM”), resulting in solid growth prospects due to the growing and widespread adoption of fully integrated HR Systems. With aconso’s solution, customers achieve substantial efficiency gains derived from the digitalization of their HR departments.

Among the 350 loyal blue-chip customers are Lufthansa, BioNTech, Deutsche Bahn, Allianz and Siemens, as well as hospitality and retail chains such as Starbucks, dm and The Body Shop. aconso enjoys high customer satisfaction and loyalty with low churn rates, together with double-digit growth and strong profitability, enabled by aconso’s differentiated offering and high ROI from implementing its solution.

Keensight will work to create value in partnership with aconso’s founders, who will retain a substantial stake and continue to run the company. Together they will push for the increase of aconso’s international footprint with particular attention to the US. With long-term sustainability at the core of everything that Keensight does, ESG benefits will be an important component of the strategy, helping large corporates to meet ESG targets through digitalisation and reduction of paper consumption.

Yuri Mikhalev, Partner at Keensight Capital commented: “We have been very impressed with aconso’s growth journey to date, going from strength to strength, and we look forward to exploring new growth strategies especially in Europe and in the US.”

Ulrich Jänicke, CEO of aconso stated: “We have found a good partner and investor for our internationalization. With Keensight, we are happy to have an experienced partner at our side who wants to strategically develop the international market with us. Our common goal is the growth of aconso AG and the strengthening of our market position against the competition.”
