25 Years of BDF EXPERTS: The Anniversary Film (Short Version) (11/25)

To mark our 25th anniversary, we’re looking back – this time not in words, but on film. In just a few minutes, the short version tells the story of how an office in Düsseldorf grew into a company with three locations and over 300 SAP projects.

The Beginning: 2001
When BDF EXPERTS launched in 2001, the SAP world looked very different. R/3 was the standard, no one was talking about S/4HANA yet, and in many parts of the industry, product data was stored in file folders and spreadsheets. What began back then was the decision not to merely manage complex processes, but to map them end-to-end.

What 25 Years Have Brought
Those first projects have grown to over 300; one location has become three; and a small group has evolved into a team of more than 60 employees in Düsseldorf, Hallbergmoos, and Neuhausen am Rheinfall. Our consulting work has given rise to our own products. The vision behind it all has remained unchanged throughout this time.

The Short Version of the Film
In the short version, the people who have been part of these 25 years share their stories – from management, development, and the projects. They describe how the work has changed, which moments have left a lasting impression, and why a quarter-century has become more than just a number.

Conclusion
25 years is not a destination, but a milestone. Even in the short version, it becomes clear where we’ve come from – and what we’ll build upon in the years to come. The next installment in our anniversary series will feature the recap video from the Anniversary Day
