ORISA Software GmbH has fundamentally redesigned the existing online configurator for Porsche Design timepieces, both technically and visually, combining technological precision with a luxurious brand experience. The relaunch, which was implemented in close collaboration with the agency muse case and MHP, not only features a new, accessible user interface, but also integrates in-depth CPQ functionalities. These enable customers to enjoy a tailor-made, digital product experience in a quality that lives up to the Porsche Design brand.

The aim was to create a consistent and brand-compliant user experience that is based on the design and functionality of Porsche’s vehicle configurator, which was also co-designed by ORISA, while at the same time meeting digital accessibility requirements. The result is a configurator that not only looks good, but is also fully ADA and WCAG compliant for the first time.

Technologically, the configurator is based on ORISA’s powerful CPQ software, which enables both complex product logic and the integration of visual real-time renderings in this application. A particular focus is on performance and stability – with success: despite the ambitious schedule, the CPQ reflects the high system quality and reliability that meets the premium standards of the product.

An integral part of the redesign is the connection to the CREALIS® Web PDM system. ORISA is responsible for technical integration and ensures that the configured variants can be seamlessly transferred to the manufacturing process. The system is complemented by dynamic image generation. For certain models, 3D models from ORISA’s own portfolio continue to be used. A solution that offers maximum flexibility while maintaining consistent visualisation quality.

With its revamped configurator, ORISA once again demonstrates how intelligent CPQ technology can be combined with emotional brand management and visual excellence in highly individualised luxury segments. The solution not only makes buying a watch a digital and intuitive experience, but also meets the highest technical, design and regulatory standards.

This year’s symposium of the “ Initiative of Science and the Automotive Industry” (IWA e.V.) took place on 13 June 2025 with the slogan “Theory meets Practice” — an event that ORISA, as a long-standing member of the association, once again followed with great interest.

As a software provider specialising in CPQ solutions for complex product and sales processes, we see ourselves as a central interface between technological development and industrial application. This is precisely why the exchange with scientific institutions such as the Friedrich Schiller University Jena is particularly valuable to us.

ORISA has been part of the IWA for many years and is therefore an active part of a network that specifically promotes the transfer of knowledge between science and practice. The association aims to promote application-oriented research — particularly in the automotive and high-tech industries. Topics such as process optimisation in production and logistics, decision support systems and data-driven planning approaches are also highly relevant to our day-to-day work. In addition, such cooperation brings together personalities from business and research, including long-standing partners such as Prof. Dr Armin Scholl, Prof. Dr Nils Boysen and Prof. Dr Johannes Ruhland, with whom we have a close and ongoing collaborative relationship. The other corporate members, Siemens, Airbus Operations and Optware, also make a significant contribution to creating a valuable, hands-on dialogue within the IWA that provides inspiration beyond industry boundaries.

A particular highlight of the symposium was the awarding of the 9th IWA prize for application-oriented scientific achievements. The winners included Dr Thorben Krüger (Volkswagen AG) and Dr Stefan Fedtke (FSU Jena), whose work impressively demonstrated the innovative potential of the interplay between university research and industrial application.

For us at ORISA, the close dialogue with the scientific community confirms time and again that it brings new perspectives to our projects and helps us to continuously develop our CPQ solutions further — in a practical, profound and future-oriented manner. We would like to thank the IWA e.V. for the successful event and are already looking forward to the next dialogue as part of the association, with the University of Jena and with all those involved in shaping the future together at the point where theory and practice meet.

Our configuration software CREALIS® has been awarded the ‘Software made in Germany’ and ‘Software hosted in Germany’ seals of approval by the Bundesverband IT-Mittelstand e.V. (BITMi). For us, this is not only proof of quality, but also a strong signal to our customers. They can rely on solutions that meet the highest standards in terms of technology, security and service and that are 100% made in Germany.

We are proud to announce that we have successfully achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, one of the world’s leading standards for information security management systems (ISMS). At a time when cybercrime, cloud solutions and the protection of sensitive data are among the biggest challenges for companies, ORISA has responded proactively and is sending a strong signal of security and trust with this certification.

What does ISO/IEC 27001:2022 mean?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the latest version of this renowned standard and describes the requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining a comprehensive information security management system. The aim of the standard is to systematically identify and assess information security risks and adress them using suitable measures. TÜV Thüringen’s certification demonstrates that ORISA has consistently integrated information security into all areas of the company — from IT infrastructure and data protection to security mechanisms for physical and digital access.

With increasing digitalization and the shift of many business processes to the cloud, the risks are also increasing. Cybercrime, data breaches and the misuse of sensitive information pose immense challenges for companies. The ISO/IEC 27001 certification shows that ORISA is prepared for these new requirements. Not only do we demonstrate sophisticated risk management, stringent data protection requirements and security controls to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of information, but we also emphasize the continuous improvement and adaptation of strategies to avert threats. The implementation of a comprehensive ISMS as defined in our quality policy ensures that not only our own data, but above all our customers’ confidential information is optimally protected. The ISO/IEC 27001 certification strengthens the confidence of our partners and customers that ORISA applies state-of-the-art security standards and takes information security seriously to ensure the foundation for successful cooperation.

In addition to ISO/IEC 27001 certification, ORISA has held the TISAX label since 2017 and successfully passed the requirements as part of the 2024 re-audit. The TISAX label is of great importance to us, especially due to our cooperation with customers from the automotive industry such as Porsche, where providing proof of a high standard of information security is essential. By meeting the TISAX requirements, we can strengthen the trust of our customers and ensure that their sensitive data is optimally protected.

In conclusion: A safe future with ORISA

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is an important milestone in ORISA’s strategic direction. Our customers can rest assured that their data and information are in safe hands with us. In combination with our long-standing ISO 9001 certification, this new TÜV recognition demonstrates our commitment not only to providing high-quality products and services, but also to ensuring the highest security standards.

ORISA is proud to have been regularly certified in accordance with the latest requirements of DIN ISO 9001 since 2003. This internationally recognized standard for quality management systems is not only a sign of excellent quality, but also proof of our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

ORISA demonstrates compliance with DIN ISO 9001:2015 through regular certification audits. This standard sets out strict requirements to ensure that all our products and services meet the highest standards. Implementing an effective quality management system (QMS) helps us optimize internal processes, minimize inefficiencies, and maximize customer satisfaction. Our internal management system (IMS) has evolved from the QMS that has been in place since 1999. It was introduced based on DIN EN ISO 9001, continuously improved, and expanded in line with the requirements of a growth-oriented company.

The repeated recertification not only underlines our ability to meet the highest quality standards, but also our commitment to innovation and reliability. ORISA thus not only remains competitive, but also sets standards in the software industry.In addition to our quality standards, our goal is to build long-term customer relationships and strengthen the trust of our customers. The ISO 9001 certification gives our customers the assurance that they can rely on products and services from ORISA — a decisive factor for the sustainable success of our company. You can learn more about our quality policy here.

By continuously developing our quality management system, implementing new technologies, and adapting to changing market conditions, ORISA remains at the cutting edge. For ORISA, the ISO 9001:2015 certification is not only proof of our success to date, but also a promise to our customers: exceeding their expectations remains our highest priority.

On October 16, 2024, the time had come: ORISA was awarded the “Thuringian Seal for Healthy Work” in gold as part of the double conference at Ernst Abbe Hochschule in Jena. This special award recognizes companies and institutions that have demonstrated exemplary commitment to the health and well-being of their employees.

The award ceremony took place during the “Healthy Work Day”, an event organized by the “Healthy Work in Thuringia” network. Around one hundred guests from business, science and politics came together to discuss current developments in the areas of occupational health management (OHM) and digital transformation.

For the second time this year, ORISA donated the “Jena Prize for Civil Courage”. The award ceremony took place on September 27 in Jena’s town hall. As an open-minded company from Thuringia, ORISA is happy to support this prize, which sends out a signal against discrimination and exclusion.

This year, Moritz Henniger was honored for his unprecedented intervention during a school event. In June, Moritz showed civil courage during a violent altercation in the school playground when a fellow pupil attacked and injured another. He calmed the injured man with breathing exercises that he knew from the voluntary fire department. When the injured boy’s father arrived, the situation came to a head again. Moritz acted quickly and constructively, supported the teacher, called for help and calmed down the surrounding pupils. He thus helped to defuse the situation and stood by frightened classmates.

Congratulations to Moritz, who set a sign of compassion and solidarity through his exemplary behavior. After all, mutual respect is the basis for moving forward together, not only in a professional context, but also in society.
