dotSource, that's over 200 digital natives with one mission: designing digital customer relations. Our work rises from the connection of humankind, space, and technology.
We've been supporting businesses in their digital transformations since 2006. Whether e-commerce and content platforms, customer relationship and product data management, or digital marketing and artificial intelligence: our solutions are user-oriented, emotional, targeted, and intelligent.
We see ourselves as a partner of our clients, whose special requirements and needs flow into the project straight from the first idea.
From strategy consultation and system selection, to concept creation and UX design, to operation in the cloud – together we develop and implement scalable digital products. Our approach relies on new work and agile methodologies such as scrum and design thinking. Companies like EMP, BayWa, Axel Springer, hagebau, C.H. Beck, Würth and Stabilo trust in our competence.
With our blog Handelskraft.com, annual Trend Book, and Handelskraft Conference, we network industry knowledge and provide insight into current opportunities and developments of digital brand management. In order to comprehensively prepare professionals and executives for the entrepreneurial challenges of the digital world, we launched Digital Business School together with Steinbeis Technology Group in 2015.
With our groundbreaking solutions, we have been able to establish ourselves as one of the leading digital agencies in German-speaking Europe and are now among the top 10 largest companies in the industry.
Jena: Birthplace of e-commerce and high-tech location with a high quality of life
The Digital Business School headquarters is located in Jena, Thuringia. A majority of professional development events and seminars are held here. That Jena is closely linked to the topics of digitalisation and e-commerce, can be seen from afar: The Jentower is not only the tallest office building of the new Länder, but also the location of the e-commerce solution Intershop - the first e-commerce software worldwide.
The city of about 110,000 inhabitants is also known for the international success stories of Zeiss, SCHOTT, and Jenoptik. Jena is home to international companies as well as numerous small and medium businesses.
Also in terms of culture, sports, and nature Jena has much to offer.
The Digital Business School roof terrace is ideal for enjoying the summer festival "Kulturarena". Digital Business School participants can look forward to visiting the pub mile "Wagnergasse". For the perfect end of the working day, a stroll through the Jena Paradiespark is worthwile, as it lives up to its name with lots of greenery, the Saale, the bar "Strand 22" and volleyball courts.
