Zehnder Investment AG acquires ALAN Software AG

Since 2012, the company ALAN Software AG was part of the FIVE Group from Schönbühl BE, which has been offering, integrating and developing IT and software solutions since 1988. On September 1, 2022, Zehnder Investment AG from Dübendorf ZH added this software company with over 150 customers to its portfolio and acquired all shares in ALAN Software AG. "10 years ago, we took ALAN Software AG under the FIVE umbrella. FIVE management became financially and developmentally involved with ALAN and gave the ERP solution a new perspective," says Ulrich Tschanz, CEO and board member of the FIVE Group. "ALAN has since successfully evolved and maintained its position in the market."

With Zehnder Investment AG, a partner has been found that will improve the ALAN law firm software technologically and functionally. The change of ownership itself will not be qualitatively noticeable for ALAN customers in terms of support, according to the companies involved. The preservation of technical and industry-specific knowledge is also guaranteed, as Udo Schneider will remain with ALAN in his role as product manager and project manager. "The primary goal is and remains to keep customer satisfaction high and to continue to ensure future security," explain Michael Zehnder, owner of Zehnder Investment AG and Sebastian Hurter, new CEO of ALAN Software AG. "We are pleased to have been able to win ALAN for us and appreciate the work FIVE has done so far as well as the long-standing customer loyalty of the law firms. Scaling ALAN is very important to us in order to maximize customer value and ensure the continuation and further development of ALAN."
