Newsletter - Wednesday, 15. July 2026Dear Reader,
The IT industry is known for its rapid pace of change, so we are especially pleased to be celebrating two anniversaries in 2026: 40 years of Delta Software Technology and 50 years of Delta ADS.
Even at 50 years, ADS is "still alive and kicking". Over the past 50 years, our customers have developed powerful applications with ADS, that are still successfully in use today. And we are continuously developing ADS further. To mark the anniversary, we are publishing a series of articles, exploring the history of ADS and what makes it so successful. In our webinar "Delta ADS and IDS - Refresh and Connect," we also presented the current status of ADS.
40 years of Delta Software Technology and 50 years of Delta ADS are a reason to celebrate, but no reason for us to rest on our laurels.
In Addition: listen to, what our Managing Director, Dr. Daniela Schilling, has to say in the podcast with Sophia Hermann, about her daily work as a computer scientist and, in particular, at Delta.
We hope you enjoy reading and listening...
Your Delta Software Technology Team
