The company was founded in 1972 as a civil engineering office for construction by today's senior boss Mr. Werner Lorenz founded.
Core Competencies:
Development planning and realization of
- buildings in the healthcare sector

"Thanks to HTS and EDI, LESS can really mean MORE through digitization."
Active digitization boost with a great setting
"HTS actively approached us and, after a lean onboarding process with a kickoff workshop, potential analysis and more, provided us with a great consulting partner to enable digital innovation," says Managing Director Christian Lorenz. "Everything was handled very efficiently, structured and professionally by HTS, so that we were also able to ideally integrate the EDI project into daily business!" HTS and the consulting partner own the company Lorenz Consult accompanied in the implementation as required.
Spirit of optimism pushed by quick wins
What were the focus points? Christian Lorenz analyses: “Essentially it concerned the IT itself and the business field of construction. Our own IT specialist was always so busy with internal projects that we didn't have the necessary capacities or a free head." Digitization in the construction industry is strongly driven by the designers, so standardization was immensely important: "Essential for the good progress of the project was the list of measures, the division into short-, medium- and long-term goals proved to be particularly valuable. The motivation in the company was high right from the start, because the quick wins had rapid effects and the medium-term goals were also able to benefit from them quickly!”
An innovation-promoting foundation created with EDI
To name just one example that symbolizes the whole: “For every 50 employees in our industry, there are 40 software application areas and 60 computers. Before EDI, our IT specialist had to maintain every computer manually,” reflects Christian Lorenz. Lorenz Consult is now in the selection process for a content management program that will standardize and manage everything. A real milestone: “The motto was 'make 40 out of 1'. No more annual updates, maintenance, administration - but the first step towards automation is done! Furthermore, we are now more location-independent, enjoy a very high level of reliability and have been able to increase the traceability in all processes!” The managing director also sees the mindset and change management spirit from the directly affected application areas as transferable to the entire corporate culture. EDI has once again done a great job.
