FORUM Family Office ("FORUM") has acquired 100% of the shares in Vitodata AG, based in Seuzach (CH), via its industry holding company FORUM Software Mittelstandsholding SE.

With its core product "Vitomed", Vitodata serves approx. 2000 practices with approx. 10,000 active users. In addition, around 1,000 practices take advantage of the system house division's offer to have their network consisting of hardware and software managed by Vitodata and thus have a single point of contact for all IT issues.
