We’ve been at the forefront of data management, programming, and statistics for over three decades.

We are known first and foremost for the quality of our work, but also our deep expertise, proactive approach, and flexibility.

HOW AND WHY
WE DO IT
HOW AND WHY
WE DO IT
Our mission is to help our customers succeed by supporting them in their vital work developing new, safe and effective treatments for patients.
As a CRO, our work involves the meticulous management of clinical data, the careful crafting of scientifically sound analyses, and pristine presentation of comprehensive, concise reports that build insights from the data generated by our customers’ groundbreaking clinical studies.
We may be more modestly sized than some other CROs, but this is what gives us our edge. It allows us to be uniquely flexible, timely, and reliable with the consistently high-quality results we deliver – all while adhering to all customer-specific and regulatory requirements.
Our team is able to anticipate, adapt, and respond to diverse customer needs with maximum awareness and agility. Each customer is different, and we adjust our internal procedures so that our work fits in seamlessly with their operations.
None of this would be possible without our incredible team, which functions like a well-oiled machine. We have established an open, collaborative, respectful environment for our employees. By allowing each employee to shine and grow, we ensure our own growth and stability as a company. Our staff work in an attractive, safe, and healthy workplace that is conducive to good work and personal satisfaction.
Our supportive, open culture is what has allowed us to develop and retain our exemplary employees who deliver the excellence we are known for. We succeed together – as a team, and with our customers.

THE DATAMAP STORY
THE DATAMAP STORY
DATAMAP GmbH was founded in 1992 by two biostatisticians, Dr. Wilhelm Sauermann and Jürgen Lilienthal.
DATAMAP started as a smaller operation specialized in data management, statistical analysis, and reporting services for all phases of clinical studies and trials. Having observed a gap in the market, a dedicated team of eight former colleagues from the same department of an international pharmaceuticals company decided to embark on something new. They applied their enthusiasm, team spirit, and collective ingenuity to launch DATAMAP. Before long, they were delivering exceptional data management and data analyses services to customers across the pharmaceuticals sector.
Quickly establishing a reputation for impeccable precision, valuable insights, and an agile customer-friendly approach to their work, demand for DATAMAP’s services grew considerably over time.
The Freiburg-based team now numbers around 50 permanent employees, each adding their valued expertise in areas ranging from data management to programming to biostatistics.

Why did we decide to found DATAMAP?
“Because we wanted to build a place with a culture of motivation and autonomy, where people ultimately enjoy what they are doing - a new company together with nice colleagues. Our goal was for us to be able to engage and collaborate respectfully as a team, with our customers, and with our suppliers, working together and supporting one another to achieve the highest quality outcome. We envisioned something somewhat challenging and exciting, but more than anything, enjoyable. And not just for us.
We’re proud that even after more than 30 years and significant changes to the nature of our work, we still haven’t forgotten our fundamental ideals. We continue to hold onto and nurture the ideals on which we were founded.”
(Jürgen Lilienthal and Wilhelm Sauermann, founders of DATAMAP)
