The Company

A chronological review

Summer 2006: Spider License is released in a new enhanced version and now uses the Spider Core Engine.

Spring 2006: Spider is very happy with the large number of enquiries made at CeBit. Spider Contract is released under the new Core Engine. Even better integration with the other Spider products and modules has been achieved and performance increased through the new simplified configuration.

Autumn 2005: The new core engine (“Spider Core”) is released standardising and bringing together all internal processes. Spider Asset is the first product to use the new features.

Summer 2005: The new business premises are well received during information functions as well as by customers. New projects take staff as far as South Africa, the core clientele continually grows.

Spring 2005: Spider has outgrown its offices one more, prompting the decision to move to more spacious premises at the Gasstrasse commercial center. At the same time, the team is enlarged.

Spring 2004: The Company’s growth continues. More and more partners willing to harness the advantages of Spider products for their customer projects are signed up.

Autumn 2003: Spider moves to more spacious premises. The team grows. A branch is opened in Düsseldorf.

Late summer 2003: Ongoing further development of the products is stepped up. Spider now also supports the new .Net Framework 1.1.

Summer 2003: Spider Contract is implemented for the first time. It quickly becomes clear that this application provides more practical benefits than expected. Some customers use Spider Contract to manage not only IT contracts but other types of contracts as well.

Spring 2002: Licence management is implemented as a supplement. The team grows. Various customers express the wish to use Spider technology to make IT-related contracts available to the operative departments. This leads to plans for the development of Spider Contract.

Summer 2001: Implementing the latest technology, Microsoft .Net Framework, the first version of Spider Asset is completed and unveiled to customers. It is particularly characterized by ease of use, efficient data storage and high performance.

Autumn 2000:Spider LCM GmbH is established in Hamburg with a solid team. Working in close collaboration with long-standing customers, the team starts working on developing prototypes.

Summer 2000 : A team of consultants and programmers with many years of experience in IT management projects collects all the knowledge gained from the projects of the past few years: roll-outs at a publishing company and an airline as well as relocations and process optimization at various industrial companies.
The team pinpoints the central problems: Even though nearly all data is recorded somewhere in the company, it is not readily available for day-to-day work as the data storage structures are too fragmented. The solution is to combine all relevant information in a central database, to adopt intelligent interfaces for automatic data synchronization and to design an efficient web-based user interface to ensure ease of use.
