A brief history of ATLAS.ti

In 1993, Thomas Muhr released the first commercial version under the company name “Scientific Software Development,” now ATLAS.ti GmbH.

Mr. Muhr led the company for close to 20 years, seeing it grow continuously and garner an increasing share of the growing QDA software market.

Today, the program is sold and used around the world, with major organizations and corporate players among its enthusiastic users. The likes of Microsoft, the United Nations, the World Bank, Google, Boeing, and nearly every major university in the world rely on ATLAS.ti for their qualitative data analysis needs.

In 1999 Thomas Muhr brought the management consultant Jörg Hecker into the company. He took care of all business-relevant and strategic issues of the company, first as a consultant, later as COO.

In 2021, Jörg Hecker took over the management of ATLAS.ti as sole CEO.

Thomas Muhr continues to advise the company from then on as founder and shareholder with heart and soul.

Home of ATLAS.ti: Deep in the creative heart of Berlin

In 2022, we moved into our new headquarters in the creative heart of Berlin, in Kreuzberg. Here, as well as in the adjacent districts of Friedrichshain and Mitte, beats Europe's heart of the digital industry with a network in which investors, developers, designers and courageous companies have created a breeding ground for digital innovation that is unique in Germany. For us, it has always been about creating something completely new together in a strong team, creating new opportunities and maximising our strengths. Remotely, we work from here with the brightest minds around the globe.

We will continue to develop rapidly in this environment and in this constellation and present our users with innovations that will revolutionise data analysis worldwide.
