History
[edit]
Orga Systems began as a global supplier of smart-card solutions[buzzword] for mobile telecommunications, banks, retail, health care and the Internet. In the mid-1990s, two separate business units “chip card production“ and “system development“ were created. On 1 January 2003, the division of the two business units led to the spin-off of the system development department and Orga Systems GmbH was established.
Under a new private shareholder, Orga Systems took over and founded further subsidiaries. At the same time, there was a strategic focus on real-time based solutions[buzzword] for customer billing and administration in mobile telecommunication services.
In 1994, Orga Systems launched the world's first GSM prepaid billing system in Portugal.[citation needed] Over the years Orga Systems have increased its solution[buzzword] portfolio. Based on the company's real-time expertise gained in the telco environment, Orga Systems started to exploit new markets in the field of industries such as Utilities[5] and Automotive.[6][citation needed]
