Delivering Rapid and Reliable System Recovery in Germany's Leading Supplier of Accounting Software for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
Overview Storage capacity of only 320 kilobytes on two IBM main-frames was available when DATEV was founded in 1969. The founders' vision was to support 'members of the tax consulting professions' with software, consulting services and a computer center. Today, DATEV manages data volumes of 300 terabytes and reigns supreme among suppliers of financial accounting programs for small and medium-sized businesses. The financial accounting for two-thirds of all German companies is handled using DATEV software, entailing an impressive total of 2.4 million sets of business accounts. Even more impressively, the majority of this accounting data is stored at DATEV itself. All this makes reliable systems and efficient administration an absolute necessity. And DATEV relies on Symantec for system recovery and PC software installation.
