easy history
33 years of company history are full of events and stories. Join us on a journey through time across three decades of easy and take a look at some of the milestones in the company’s history.
EASY SOFTWARE becomes easy
In April 2023, easy shows the outside world its new, strong brand presence with its new website. The realignment underscores the company’s claim to play a key role in shaping the ECM market and to make pioneering investments in the future.
Delisting & relocation to Essen
In February 2022, easy announces its intention to withdraw from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. After February 15, 2022, easy shares can no longer be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In March 2022, the new Essen offices (Germany) opens with a celebratory Welcome Week. The modern new easy headquarters fits perfectly with the spirit of optimism and the new demand for collaborative processes.
Acquisition by Battery Ventures
At the end of the Annual General Meeting on December 23, 2020, the control and profit transfer agreement with deltus 36 AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Battery Ventures, is resolved. This means that easy has a strong technology investor in the background, who will use a great deal of know-how to chart its future course with easy.
Own study published
In cooperation with the auditing firm KPMG AG, easy is conducting a representative survey. 401 companies from different industries, each with more than 100 employees, provide an inventory of the degree of digitalisation in German companies. The study also explores whether and how companies use a combination of operational and experience-related data from their stakeholders for their own benefit.
the Apinauten become part of easy

As a result, easy is growing by 45 new employees. easy ApiOmat as a scaling Enterprise Backend-as-a-Service connects different systems through standardised communication and brings digital services to the market faster.
