KeyToData know-how

KeyToData

Over 25 years of experience in the software industry

As early as October 1993, the Jochen Layer, the current managing director of K2D-KeyToData GmbHTogether with two other people, he founded CSC CADKEY Support Center GmbH, a support centre for CADKEY customers in Europe. (CADKEY was the predecessor of the 3D CAD/CAM software KeyCreator).

Since the customers' needs went far beyond the provision of technical support, the portfolio was expanded in 1995 to include sales and consulting for CAD systems. At the same time, the company was renamed CASE GmbH with Jochen Layer as managing director.

The logical expansion of the software products took place in 1998 with the addition of multi-CAD viewing software solutions. Since our customers were always using a variety of different engineering software solutions and we were repeatedly asked questions about licence equipment and licence use, we decided to add the licence monitoring software License Statistics in 2007.

To complete our software portfolio, we were only missing one component: an EMPB software that supports our customers in the creation of initial sample inspection reports. In 2010, we found the right software partner for inspection planning and EMPB creation in InspectionXpert.

In 2011, the company was renamed K2D-KeyToData GmbH. Since 2015, Jochen Layer has been the sole shareholder and managing director.

In 2013, we replaced the licence monitoring software offered with the licence management software OpenLM for CAD, CAM, CAE, BIM and PLM applications.

In 2016, KeyToData was appointed Master Reseller for the EMPB software InspectionXpert in Europe.

2019 Replacement of the CAD viewer KeyView by the viewing solution 3DViewStation from Kisters AG.

April 2023 Inclusion of the 1factory quality management system in software sales as an extension and addition to the EMPB solution Ideagen Quality Control (formerly InspectionXpert).

July 2023 Rebranding from InspectionXpert to Ideagen Quality Control
