The official position of soft Xpansion on the war in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has been going on for more than a month. The Russian army continues to destroy the lives of Ukrainians by committing atrocities: brutally killing innocent people, destroying infrastructure and cultural heritage, but they will never be able to destroy the unity and courage of the Ukrainian people, their desire to be free and have a happy future. At present, Ukraine is defending the world from tyranny, standing up for the values it shares with Europe and the world.
The soft Xpansion team consists of Ukrainians working in the company’s Ukrainian office. During all the difficult days of the war with Russia, some spend time on the road, taking their families to safety, some shelter people from areas of active hostilities, some help humanitarianly and financially, but the entire team of the Ukrainian office continues to work to always be in touch with our customers and partners.
We condemn the Russian government’s attack on Ukraine and support Ukraine and continue to assist the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainians affected by the war with Russia. We are sure that, like our company, many are ready to help, so we have compiled a proven list of options for financial and humanitarian assistance:

History
The history of our enterprise looks back to the early 90s. The founders of soft Xpansion were pioneers in the development of multimedia software (key products: PC Mensch, PC Auto, etc.) in Europe. In 1997, the MAUS Software company was founded.MAUS Software focused on software services, which means order-based development, distribution and publishing of licenses for software publishers. The cooperation with software publishers is the basis of our present-day success: efficient software development, market-oriented product management and targeted marketing. In 2006, the company was renamed “soft Xpansion GmbH & Co. KG”. The new name emphasizes the new dual-direction strategy informing our business activities: with a few exceptions, our products were no longer developed for third parties and released under their names (white label) but instead they have been distributed under our own soft Xpansion banner. Our new distribution strategy is accompanied by a new product strategy: from now on, PDF solutions/products, developer libraries and products like software tools and utilities are our primary focus. The previous projects and product fields of soft Xpansion in a short overview: more than 60 multimedia products (educational software, infotainment, productivity), games, printing software, a wide PDF related range of products, more than 60 document management / ECM projects, security software, software for engineer’s tools, Internet software. In 2009, as a result of many successfully fulfilled document management and electronic content management projects the company, Intercomputer Global Services GmbH & Co. KG was established.
