Dataproces announced yesterday that the company has entered into an agreement with the German consulting firm Lexis & Rother Partnerschaftsgesellschaft.
The agreement includes the acquisition of activities within school development planning, early childhood education planning, and capacity planning for municipalities in Germany.
As part of the agreement, Dataproces acquires Lexis & Rother’s subscription-based monitoring business within student enrollment forecasting and student development, as well as the associated know-how, working models, and established relationships in the German municipal market.
In 2025, the activity generated recurring annual subscription revenue (ARR) of EUR 14,800, corresponding to approximately DKK 110,600. The purchase price amounts to EUR 37,000, corresponding to approximately DKK 276,600.
The agreement also entails that Lexis & Rother’s founder and principal shareholder, Ulrike Lexis, will make her consulting expertise available to Dataproces for a minimum of three years.
Over several decades, Ulrike Lexis has advised German municipalities on school development, early childhood education, and capacity planning and has built extensive experience and relationships within the German municipal market.
Going forward, Dataproces will take over the execution of assignments within school development, early childhood education, and capacity planning that were previously delivered by Lexis & Rother. In addition, a long-term collaboration will be established whereby Lexis & Rother will refer relevant consulting and software opportunities to Dataproces.
Revenue from these activities is not included in the stated ARR and therefore represents additional earnings potential.
The transaction is not expected, in isolation, to have a significant impact on the company’s financial expectations for 2026/27. The agreement is the first transaction completed as part of Dataproces’ strategy to gradually expand its presence in the German market through smaller acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
Chief Executive Officer Kasper Lund Nødgaard states:
This transaction is a concrete example of the strategy we have communicated to the market. We aim to gradually expand our presence in Germany through smaller acquisitions and partnerships that contribute expertise, networks, and market access.
With Lexis & Rother, we are strengthening our professional platform within school development, early childhood education, and capacity planning, while at the same time gaining access to significant experience and specialized knowledge in the German municipal market.
We have previously demonstrated, through initiatives such as BoelPlan and the collaboration with Index100, how strong professional environments can form the foundation for the development of scalable software solutions. This is precisely the thinking behind this investment.
