The system house DATA AHEAD has been developing and implementing hardware and software solutions for data management and for measurement and testing technology since 1999. Since then, as an early adopter of innovative technologies we have developed a group of renowned clients.
Our expert team – for high-impact implementations with short release cycles – grows steadily, sometimes even in surges. In addition to our headquarters in Nuremberg (Bavaria/Germany), we also have further offices in Berlin and in the USA in Miami (Florida), which allows us to offer intensive support to our clients in Germany and internationally.

We see it as our role to accompany companies as they embark on their journey into the digitized era. We do this with comprehensive advice and individually customized solutions that lead the way in the market.

Why we love our location so much
Just sticking to the facts: Nuremberg is at the heart of Europe and offers perfect connections to all traffic routes. The living space, infrastructure and living standards are all attractive.
But the details offer far more to lift the spirits: Here we have one of the most beautiful and historically interesting old town centers in Germany. A pulsating cultural life with creative spaces popping up all over the place.
Lovely beer gardens during the summer months, yet still plenty of green spaces in the city right on our door step. Last but not least, the beautiful countryside of Middle Franconia all around, an inviting region for local recreation and leisure activities.
How we have fun together
A team works better if it is built on genuine cohesion and trust.
This is why DATA AHEAD does not discourage private interests, but instead – wherever possible and of course on a voluntary basis – allows them to directly contribute to team building: whether cycling, running training for the next B2Run, swimming or climbing/bouldering. And most definitely for after-work bar meet-ups, on team excursions and at the Christmas party and summer party that take place each year.
