The IT service provider Abraxas, which specializes in public sector customers, wants to withdraw from the justice market segment. As he announced, he is therefore selling his Juris product division to the Zurich IT company Logobject on February 1, 2024. This will take over the specialist applications Juris 4 and Juris 5 including the current customer contracts, says Abraxas. This means that “a significant portion” of the current Juris employees will move from Abraxas to Logobject. However, not all of them. Abraxas wants to support those affected “in their individual search for a connection solution”.
However, operations will continue to be ensured for those customers who have outsourced application operations to Abraxas. Apart from that, Abraxas wants to concentrate its resources on specialist application and software development in its main business areas.
Logobject specializes in solutions and products in the field of field service management and emergency services and is intended to further develop the Juris solutions. “By handing over our product division to Logobject, we have found a solution that secures the future of Juris in the best possible way,” said Guido Schmidt, Head of Digital Government and Specialist Solutions and member of the Abraxas management, in the press release. “With this good solution, Abraxas is fulfilling its responsibility towards all Juris customers and the justice department, towards employees and shareholders,” said Abraxas CEO Reto Gutmann.
Milestones not achieved: cancellation of “Elfa”
His company obviously had problems managing the further development of Juris. The specialist application has been extensively updated for some time, the IT service provider writes in its statement. Now we stop working on it. This makes it possible to pool resources in the main business areas for the benefit of specialist application and software development. “The Board of Directors decided on this focus as part of the further development of the business strategy and in light of the well-known extensive investments in products and systems,” says Matthias Kaiserswerth, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Abraxas.
The decision also has consequences for the canton of Zurich. Abraxas is also stopping work on the “Elfa” project to develop a specialist application for the penal system in the canton. In the course of this project for the Zurich Directorate of Justice and Home Affairs, “several milestones were not reached and agreed delivery results were not achieved,” writes Abraxas in his statement with unusual and commendable openness. This and the withdrawal of Abraxas from the justice department and the corresponding product development would now lead to the cancellation of the project. But of course there was a contract for it. Together with the Directorate of Justice and Home Affairs, we are now clarifying how this contract should be repealed, said Abraxas.
