For GBTEC, a software vendor with over 130 employees at its offices in Bochum and Munich, Germany, the new company GBTEC Software, S.L means a further step into internationalization. The joint venture, at which GBTEC holds a controlling share, will coordinate the activities in Spanish speaking countries. By opening its software portfolio to these markets, the company plans with a steady growth of international sales.

With the BPM suite BIC Cloud, GBTEC offers a market leading software for business process management in Germany.
