German IT leader DATAGROUP opens branch in Kaunas, plans to hire 50 employees

DATAGROUP, a leading German IT service company, has recently established a branch in the heart of Kaunas, Lithuania. Operating as DATAGROUP Operations Lithuania UAB, the new office will join DATAGROUP in its aim to revolutionize the IT industry with innovative solutions, setting new benchmarks in safety, excellence, and sustainability. The company intends to recruit up to 30 employees during its initial setup phase, totaling up to 50 for the entire project.
Founded back in 1983 as a two-person software development company, DATAGROUP was already working with major clients like Audi and BMW just three years later. Under the guidance of its co-founder Max Schaber, the company achieved remarkable success, becoming one of Germany’s leading full-service IT providers with a team of around 3,500 employees worldwide. The Lithuanian branch will be part of the central delivery unit that provides all services to DATAGROUP customers, with certain functions related to emerging technologies being implemented exclusively from Kaunas.

"Our plan is to set up an office in Kaunas within the first six months in Lithuania, and then proceed to hire up to 30 specialists by the end of the year. Once the new team is up and running, we will concentrate primarily on AI, cybersecurity, as well as IT architecture and infrastructure, with a particular focus on networks, Linux, and project management", said Frank Fabian, the company’s Managing Director.
