OUR STORY
From university spin-off to AI advisory.
Dr. Oliver Gausmann founds Convios GmbH as a spin-off from the University of Augsburg, together with Prof. Dr. Klaus Turowski and Dr. Bettina Fricke. The idea: bringing academic research on component-based software development and inter-organizational information systems into companies. In parallel, the Science meets Industry association is established.
Early clients include WEKA Group, Google Germany, Mercedes-Benz, and Fujitsu Technologies. Starting in 2007, Convios conducts market studies, initially for Google in the tourism sector.
For more than 12 years, Convios serves Fujitsu Technologies as a strategic client. Projects increasingly combine advisory with implementation in technology transformation. The work results in scientific publications at leading conferences and in academic journals.
Dr. Gausmann invests in Minerals Value Service GmbH (MVS) and takes operational responsibility. In 2015, MVS is acquired by S&P Global.
Start of a long-standing collaboration with United Internet and the brands GMX and Web.de. Convios conducts market studies and technology advisory for the group.
VP Technologies & Innovation at S&P Global with 200+ engineers through four acquisitions. COO at CREATEQ with 300 employees across seven locations. Engagements including Munich Re and Versicherungskammer Bayern. Operational leadership in an international environment, alongside advisory work at Convios.
Convios focuses on the three topics that belong together in the AI era: compliance and regulation, AI strategy and readiness, software delivery and performance. Built for the Mittelstand with 50 to 500 employees.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Facts over opinions.
Volume doesn't mean it's right. Anyone can have opinions. Decisions need data.
Honesty
We say what we think. Even when it's uncomfortable. Clients pay us for clarity, not for confirmation.
Integrity
No recommendation we profit from. No technology hype we follow because it's popular. Technology with judgment.
Loyalty
Fujitsu: 12 years. United Internet: since 2012. Long-term relationships form when results are right.
Scientific rigor
Depth from research, validated in practice. Facts and data come first. Even the opinion of many can be wrong.
DR. OLIVER GAUSMANN
Dr. Oliver Gausmann
Managing Director, Convios
I've built companies, sold one, and led operations through phases where the answers weren't on slide decks. Co-founder with an exit to S&P Global. COO running 300 people across seven locations. VP Technology managing 200+ engineers through four acquisitions. Twenty years in roles where decisions had consequences. Technology has to serve the business, measurably and controllably. At Convios, I help CEOs and managing directors treat AI, compliance, and software delivery as leadership topics. With structure, with clarity, and with the willingness to change what isn't working. Licensed pilot. Flying teaches you early that good decisions under pressure come down to preparation. The same applies to running a company.
