FRANKFURT, GERMANY and BOCHUM, GERMANY — (Marketwired) — 12/17/15 — As part of its Venture activities, BearingPoint has invested in Bochum-based start-up tracekey solutions GmbH. tracekey develops and operates industry-specific Track&Trace solutions and provides support in meeting the challenges of increased digitalization, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. tracekey and BearingPoint have been working together on a project basis since the end of 2014. Both companies are expanding their consulting and services portfolios, and the investment by BearingPoint establishes a long-term partnership.
Increasing digitalization and regulation represent immense challenges for a large number of companies, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Regulatory requirements for the protection against counterfeit medicines have led, for example, to implementing serialization technologies, and such regulations necessitate a holistic approach to process strategies. BearingPoint and tracekey enable customers to best meet the challenges of digital transformation. tracekey focuses on the development of software solutions, while BearingPoint has expertise in process development and many years of industry expertise in its Life Sciences & Chemicals unit.
Kiumars Hamidian, Partner and Service Line Leader at BearingPoint, explained: “As part of our strategy, we are always looking for innovative partners, and investing in tracekey is an important step towards expanding our consulting portfolio. The products of tracekey are an excellent match for our focus areas of digitalization and regulation. We can use it to help our clients effectively implement strategic solutions. We are responding to customer needs with this type of venture and developing our own knowledge.”
“We are very pleased to be working with BearingPoint. Through this partnership we can provide our industry-specific Track&Trace solutions to an even wider market, allowing a variety of companies to benefit from the digitalized value. BearingPoint provides an excellent complement to our range of services. This will generate growth and contribute significantly to the digital transformation of our customers,” commented Dr. Stefan Hoffmann, Managing Director and co-founder of tracekey solutions.
