Stutt­gart — FLEX Capi­tal acqui­res output manage­ment specia­list for OMS subsi­diary Form­ware with Heuking. A team led by Dr. Rainer Hersch­lein provi­ded legal advice to the private equity fund FLEX Capi­tal on the acqui­si­tion of the output manage­ment specia­list Raster­punkt (RP Output Manage­ment GmbH) for its OMS Group.

The two compa­nies enable custo­mers to merge the data of exten­sive recur­ring commu­ni­ca­tion proces­ses via various commu­ni­ca­tion chan­nels and to gene­rate, send and archive invoices, contracts, orders, etc. in a fully auto­ma­ted digi­ta­li­zed manner and in an audit-proof manner.

Foun­ded in 1989 in Stutt­gart, Raster­punkt serves more than 100 custo­mers and offers compre­hen­sive exper­tise, flexi­bi­lity and profes­sio­nal solu­ti­ons in the area of consul­ting for output manage­ment and consul­ting services. Raster­punkt works with all major OMS soft­ware vendors and has exten­sive indus­try knowledge.
