Want to know what the future holds? Then we have good news
for you. Futurologists predict that human evolution will succeed – if big ideas are made bigger and existing technologies are transported into the future.
This involves catching flashes of insight and channeling them in the right direction. We’ve been proving this theory right for more than 80 years. With our software, consulting, and training solutions. We make complex things simpler, and we make some things happen on their own – benefiting companies of all shapes and sizes. And as a partner or employee, you’ll carve out your own successful future, too.

Markus Reithwiesner is an acknowledged expert in the IT industry – and was involved in it right from the start. After studying business administration in Nuremberg, he began his career at the Munich-headquartered distributor Computer 2000. He then switched to the German subsidiary of the American software provider Intuit. The company made its mark with the finance programs Quicken, QuickBooks, and QuickSteuer. Before Markus Reithwiesner transferred to Lexware in 1998, he was responsible for European business development at Intuit in his role as Director of Product Marketing. In 1998, Lexware took over Intuit’s activities in Germany.
Markus Reithwiesner is married and has two children. He enjoys spending the little leisure time he has with his family, listening to classical music, and reading.
What distinguishes a family? Its solidarity, values and traditions, but certainly also its plans and visions. This becomes apparent in the business world as well. Haufe Group is a family business in the best possible way. Not solely a supplier, but truly a partner. With a sense of responsibility for lasting, successful relationships.
Just like in every family, stability and security are important factors – yet always coupled with a forward vision. New business fields, new characters, new challenges are welcome at all times. Because immersed in diversity, we feel at home. Haufe Group is a family business, yet still it proves greatness – in dealing with both people and projects.
As Holding Director of Haufe Group, Birte Hackenjos is responsible for operational business within the Group. In this position, she heads the units Business Technology Services (software development and IT), Editorial Department & Content Engineering, Customer Management, and Project Portfolio Management, with a total of approximately 600 employees at different locations across Germany and Europe.
Birte Hackenjos is a fully qualified lawyer and began her career at the Rudolf Haufe publishing house in 1997. She experienced the transformation of the enterprise group, which already comprised the software company Lexware, and soon helped shape it. In particular, Birte Hackenjos has driven the successful digitization of the traditional publishing business and the strategic realignment from print to online for Haufe Group. She was appointed to the Holding Board of Haufe Group at the start of 2013 and is responsible for structure, organization, and implementation management, as well as for the strategic alignment of the enterprise group. As an “entrepreneur in an enterprise”, Birte Hackenjos believes that a key success factor is to create conditions that empower employees to use their competencies to the full.
Birte Hackenjos is actively engaged in various cross-industry committees. Among other positions, she is a member of the managing committee of Baden-Württemberg: Connected e.V. (bwcon) and of the interest group for copyright and right of publication of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association.
She is a keen cellist and has played for many years with The Management Symphony orchestra. Birte Hackenjos also enjoys endurance sports on her road bike and mountain bike.
It’s not that we want to change – we must change. Change is the basis of progress. And progress should happen at every single workplace. The future lies in decentralized and agile solutions, right down to the smallest unit.
Sometimes, gentle tweaking is enough. Sometimes, you need a complete overhaul. Markets change and companies must adapt their business accordingly. To empower them to do this, Haufe Group delivers new or continuously advanced technologies.
Why a company on the edge of the Black Forest, of all places? The people here have always been good at inventing things. That’s why the region is one of the most innovative in the European Union. And that’s not about to change in the future.
