About Pass technology

PASS Consulting Group, operating under the brand Pass Technology, is a global IT consulting and software development firm established in 1981 by Gerhard Rienecker. The company's founding was inspired by Rienecker's university thesis, which centered on the concept of creating custom software solutions at the cost of standardized products by utilizing reusable software components—a principle that remains central to the company's strategy. Over four decades, Rienecker has guided the firm's growth from a startup idea into an international group of companies.

The firm is structured into specialized business units to cater to a diverse clientele across various industries, including banking, insurance, travel, logistics, telecommunications, and the public sector. Its business model focuses on providing both IT consulting and project management alongside the development of proprietary software solutions. Revenue is generated through these consulting services and the sale of software products which, due to their modular design, can be customized to meet specific client requirements. This approach allows for the delivery of individualized systems while maintaining the cost-effectiveness of standard software.

The company's offerings are extensive, particularly within the financial and travel sectors. For the banking industry, its SolutionWorld Banking suite includes a core banking system, online banking solutions, a credit product configurator, and anti-money laundering software, targeting institutions ranging from private commercial banks to public-sector credit providers. The PASS Group comprises several specialized entities, such as PASS Banking Solutions GmbH, which focuses on core banking systems, and PASS Travel Solutions GmbH, which develops IT solutions for the travel industry. The group also includes an offshore development center in India and a US-based corporation specializing in travel and tourism technology.
