The CDA family mourns their founder and senior executive, Dr. Walter Stopp

We mourn the loss of our company founder and senior executive,

Dr. Walter Stopp
Passed away on 29.10.2023


Over 40 years ago, he founded CDA with his wife Anne Stopp and led it successfully for many decades.

As a pioneer in computer technology, he tirelessly drove the development of our company with personal dedication, great foresight, and determination. With his passing, we lose a personality and father figure who served as an inspiration to us all. He was respected and cherished by everyone for his humaneness and expertise.

His passing fills us with profound sorrow. The CDA family will always hold him in honorable remembrance.

In quiet remembrance,
The management
along with all the employees
of CDA IT Systems GmbH

Successful completion of apprenticeship exams by our trainees!

How to promote innovation?

that was the motto of our 40th anniversary event to which we invited regional company representatives.

After the greetings from the city of Backnang, we reviewed the development of the last 4 decades and posed the question "how can innovation be promoted?"

We then answered this question together with our innovation partner bwcon. Among the topics to be considered here are:

  • How can we help our employees implement their ideas?
  • How can we design our processes to encourage innovation?

We asked our guests to write down topics on a beer mat that they had long wanted to address in their company. Immediately, lively discussions arose at the tables about how these tasks could be implemented. The stimulating conversations continued in a cozy atmosphere with finger food and drinks, and it was interesting to see what ideas our guests had.

We can also celebrate! 40 years CDA IT Systems GmbH!

On Saturday, 08.10.2022, we celebrated our 40th anniversary with our employees at Lichtenberg Castle. After the common lunch we had fun with medieval games like archery, boar hunt, "joust" with pillows and horseshoe throwing.

In addition, we had the opportunity to learn exciting stories about the never destroyed high castle during the castle tour.

And we continue to celebrate!

To celebrate our anniversary, we are also organizing an event with Backnang companies on our premises on 26.10.2022 with the theme "How to promote innovation?"!

CDA was certified with the award and recognition for outstanding training performance in the training profession of IT specialist

For many years, CDA IT Systems GmbH has successfully relied on training in the occupational profile of IT specialist.
