History

It was not just the moon landing that took place in 1969; that year also witnessed the foundation of ‘Raiffeisen Rechenzentrum’ (RRZ).

With a staff of just two employees at the outset, the newly founded enterprise’s ambition was to be the best technological companion in all IT-concerns to its clients. As early as 1972, RRZ assumed control of investment accounting for Raiffeisenkasse and developed programs for EDI accounting. Modernization proceeded apace – already in 1979 in Retz accounting was switched to a computer based system in the bank’s 1000th location, and in 1986 the first foyer ATM was installed.

Due to constantly increasing data volumes, a second location was introduced to further improve reliability. The business expanded solidly in every respect and in 2001 began to offer its services to the IT industry.

Its greatest achievement was the development and operation of the Austrian truck toll system, which was awarded numerous prizes, for instance the state award. By 2008 Raiffeisen Informatik was operational in 30 countries worldwide, as a result of a successful participation strategy. Due to the financial crisis, the enterprise shifted back to its origins: data center services for banks and insurances.
