Detailed Review

Fabasoft Cloud is the platform behind Fabasoft's document, records and process products. The vendor describes it as enterprise content management, records management and business process management in one system.

Its product page lists traceable, audit-proof storage in line with GoB, a graphical BPMN 2.0 editor, ad-hoc workflows and qualified electronic signatures under eIDAS, plus low-code tools for templates, text modules and forms. Fabasoft also sells Approve, a DMS and quality management solution for industry, and the eGov-Suite for government records. Of the products here it is the one aimed most clearly at public bodies and large organisations rather than at small offices.

The entity in Fabasoft's imprint is Fabasoft International Services GmbH at Honauerstrasse 4 in Linz, Austria, registered in the Linz commercial register under FN 271303a and wholly owned by Fabasoft AG.

Helmut Fallmann is named as founder and chief executive, and the group states 505 employees as of June 2026 across ten locations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the USA. Customers can choose storage in Austria, Germany or Switzerland, and the operating model can be public, government, private or hyperscaler cloud, with an availability guarantee of at least 99.9 percent. The pages read do not name a data centre operator.

Fabasoft's certification page lists ISO 9001, ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001 and ISO 27018, BSI C5, ISAE 3000 SOC 2, ISAE 3402 Type 2, the EU Cloud Code of Conduct at Level 3 and IDW PS 880 for archiving in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

That is the longest named list among the products here. No prices are published, and the site offers a personal live demo rather than a self-service trial. Fabasoft suits organisations that need audited cloud operation and can run a procurement conversation. A small team that wants a known monthly price on day one will not find one.

What Fabasoft Cloud does well

  • The certification page names ISO 27001, BSI C5, SOC 2, EU Cloud Code of Conduct Level 3 and IDW PS 880
  • Storage can be selected in Austria, Germany or Switzerland
  • Records management, BPMN 2.0 workflows and eIDAS signatures sit in one platform
  • An availability guarantee of at least 99.9 percent is stated
  • Austrian company with a named imprint, register number and sole owner Fabasoft AG

Where Fabasoft Cloud falls short

  • No prices are published and no self-service trial is offered
  • The data centre operator is not named on the pages read
  • The group also has locations in the USA, which matters for buyers who want a purely European footprint
  • Scope and operating models suit large organisations more than small teams

Standout feature. Fabasoft combines records management, workflows and eIDAS signatures with the longest list of named attestations in this comparison, from an Austrian operator.
