Luther advises Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG) on “Nova“ IT Project

Hamburg – The management of the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG) and the Berufsgenossenschaft Holz und Metall (BGHM) signed the agreement on a comprehensive IT cooperation in December 2021. On 1 January 2022, the internal company “NOVA” was founded, through which the IT services for both Berufsgenossenschaften will be provided in the future. The Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG) was assisted in the cooperation by Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft.

In NOVA, the employees of both cooperation partners will work together more efficiently under the joint management responsibility of a management team consisting of the previous IT managers of BGHM and VBG. The project will enable the Berufsgenossenschaften to access a modern digital communication infrastructure to a greater extent and reduce administrative costs through synergy effects.

Luther advised the Verwaltungs-Berufsgenossenschaft (VBG) on the planning, design and conclusion of the cooperation agreement in question with the Berufsgenossenschaft Holz und Metall (BGHM).
