The foundation of Werum was laid at the end of the 1960s by software pioneer Wulf Werum. When he died long before his time in 1982, Hartmut Krome and Dr Hans Windauer founded Werum Datenverarbeitungssysteme GmbH together with the then employees. In the years until 2013, they succeeded in developing the company to evolve into the internationally operating company Werum Software & Systems AG with 500 employees.
