Opening of itelligence IT Campus Dresden

Dresden (ots) - Former 'Schokopack' high-rise has been transformed
into an attractive IT campus. After two years of intensive
restauration and building work, itelligence's new Dresden IT Campus
housed in the listed building complex at Breitscheidstraße 48 will be
officially opened on June 26, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2019, over 300 employees of the SAP
consulting firm itelligence relocated to the high-rise in
Dresden-Dobritz. In the first skeleton construction high-rise to be
built in the GDR, 77 new offices with the very latest IT workstations
were created across a total area of 9,000 square meters. The
establishment of the building, also referred to as
'Schokopack-Hochhaus' by the locals, meaning 'chocolate packing
skyscraper', is closely linked to the history of the chocolate-making
and packaging machinery industry in the Dresden area. After they had
stood vacant for several years, itelligence AG purchased the premises
including outbuildings in 2017. The new campus, which will offer
space for over 500 employees in its impressive main building, will
bring together staff previously spread out across three different
locations. The campus will also offer visitors, customers, and staff
flexible travel options thanks to the location's good transport
links.

"This investment represents a clear commitment by itelligence to
the Dresden location as well as demonstrating that we are expanding
our presence in Saxony further. Dresden is developing into an
important location within the global corporate network for
itelligence," says Norbert Rotter, CEO of itelligence AG.

After two years of restauration work, the official opening of the
new itelligence IT Campus Dresden will take place on June 26, 2019.
The 11-storey main office building is connected to a low-rise annex
housing training rooms and offices by a ground-floor corridor that
includes a reception area. The opening will be attended by Saxony's
Prime Minister, Michael Kretschmer, the Mayor of the state capital
Dresden, Dirk Hilbert, members of staff, customers, international
guests of NTT, itelligence AG's parent company, and further eminent
representatives from business and politics.

"Saxony is home to one of the largest microelectronics and IT
clusters in Europe. In Silicon Saxony, business and academia are
jointly developing innovations for the digital future. The
itelligence IT Campus is an important symbol of Saxony as an IT
location. itelligence is a global ambassador for Saxony's spirit of
innovation," emphasizes Michael Kretschmer, Prime Minister of the
Free State of Saxony.

At the opening, the guests from politics and business will be
given an insight into the globally operating IT company through
guided tours and project presentations. As a bonus, they will enjoy a
new view of the state capital - from the roof terrace of the
high-rise.

Indication of further growth

Its Dresden base has developed into an important mainstay of the
successful SAP consulting company, and together with the data center
in Bautzen, it places its expertise at the service of the company's
globally operating customers. As a partner for the digital
transformation, the company offers services to cover a wide range of
business functions across diverse industries. Aimed at helping
customers improve their performance, itelligence AG's services can be
found everywhere, from logistics, e-commerce, and marketing to
manufacturing - from car manufacturers to the pharmaceutical
industry.

"With its university landscape including the University of
Excellence, its research institutions, the IT focus of the Saxony
state government, and the diversity of industries, Dresden offers a
good environment for our planned growth," says Lars Janitz, Executive
Vice President, with special responsibility for operations in Saxony.

The company's engagement in Saxony's state capital, collaborations
with Dresden university and research institutions, as well as with
networks such as Silicon Saxony will be intensified further. Norbert
Rotter believes that Saxony offers "true growth potential based on a
combination of well-trained, motivated staff and a continually
improving business infrastructure".

Dirk Hilbert, Mayor of the state capital Dresden, is pleased about
the fact that the listed building has developed into ultra-modern
business premises, offering a new professional home to itelligence's
highly qualified staff.

In the new, ultra-modern IT Campus, the expanding SAP consulting
company now has even better opportunities to continue on its dynamic
growth path. itelligence is also keen to further intensify its
innovation efforts in order to consolidate its leading position in
the IT and especially SAP environment and even expand it further. The
challenges of digitalization affect all industries and business
processes. As SAP's most successful partner, itelligence AG is
setting new trends by combining on-site consulting with remote
consulting, hosting, and maintenance. The restoration and renewed use
of the listed high-rise are an example of success achieved with
support from the Saxony Economic Development Corporation (WFS) and
the Development Bank of Saxony (SAB).
