ABOUT

We are a software company from Berlin that has been active since 1986. From 1986 to 1998, the sole proprietorship SESAM-Soft, owner Ernst Schumann, distributed the DOS programs it had developed. Due to the strong acceptance and the resulting expansion of SESAM-Soft in the field of commissioned programming for various film and dubbing companies (in 2008 there were over 350 companies in total, as well as more than 400 production managers, production managers and film directors), we decided in 1995 to found SESAM Software GmbH, which operates in the media industry as an independent company.

Our company consists of eight permanent employees and three freelancers. The SESAM Software GmbH team consists of competent computer scientists as well as experienced film managers and production managers with many years of professional experience, so that we are always in a position to solve problems and questions at short notice and incorporate them into the programs.

In order to meet the growing demands of the market, we have decided to cooperate with other software companies. This cooperation not only secures the investment of our customers in the event of short-term bottlenecks, but also ensures the maintenance and further development of SESAM programs in the long term.

We react quickly, flexibly and unbureaucratically. This is an important premise for survival in the constantly changing media industry. We can also consider individual programming needs of our customers at any time. We would be pleased to advise you by telephone.
