PRESS RELEASE
Dania Software joins Omnidocs Group, owned by the Dutch private equity firm Main Capital Partners and a group of key employees from the two operating companies. The future collaboration between Dania Software and Omnidocs paves the way for a significant enhancement of solutions for document generation and accessibility, serving a current customer base of more than 1,100 private and public organisations both domestically and internationally.
In 1998, Poul Skytte Madsen (77) together with Niels B. Johansen (55) founded Team Data Solutions A/S, which quickly evolved into one of the country’s leading Microsoft support company, primarily within the public sector. In 2015, the company shifted its focus to software development and established the current Dania Software A/S, which has subsequently achieved great success, notably with its flagship product, DynamicTemplate, serving more than 200 public and private customers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the UK.
The majority shareholder, Poul Skytte Madsen, chose to step down as CEO at the age of 70 in 2017, passing the role to Lars Hintze Andersen (38). Lars joined the company in 2012 and has since, like Niels B. Johansen, become part of the ownership circle. Poul Skytte Madsen has since served as the company’s Chairman of the Board and, at the age of 77, has now decided to divest his majority stake.
With the acquisition of Poul’s shares and the future collaboration between Dania Software and Omnidocs, a new and exciting growth journey with significant international ambitions has begun. Lars Hintze Andersen and Niels B. Johansen will both retain ownership stakes in the new corporate structure, and both management and employees look forward to the collaboration and the many new opportunities that now arise for the shared customers.
Lars Hintze Andersen, CEO of Dania Software and future Head of Public:
Throughout all our years in the market, we have had great respect for Omnidocs’ solutions and their ability to develop value-creating tools. By bringing our solutions and experienced experts together, a significant increase in value has been unlocked, which will benefit all our shared customers – and we are very much looking forward to starting this collaboration.
Jeppe Schytte-Hansen, CEO and Co-founder of Omnidocs:
Dania Software has been adept at developing standard software with a primary focus on the public sector. A particular strength of Dania Software has been the development of a large number of integrations, made possible through a wide range of unique and close collaborations between leading document and case management system providers, customers, and Dania Software. I am fully convinced that customers will positively notice the synergy created by this merger.
Poul Skytte Madsen, former Chairman of the Board of Dania Software, founder, and majority shareholder:
After a long and active business life, it is with great pleasure that I now conclude the chapter in Dania Software. I am convinced that the decision to forge a close future collaboration between Omnidocs and Dania Software is the right one, and I am extremely pleased that this merger was made possible through the financing from Main Capital Partners. I wish all parties involved, and especially all employees, good luck in the future.
