History
1998-2002
The beginnings
Dr. Markus Müller, the chief executive officer of aixonix AG headquartered in Aachen, Germany, founded the Aixonix GmbH in 1998. The name of the company was created to represent the bond with the city of Aachen (its French name is "Aix La Chapelle") as well as the primary focus of aixonix in information technology (with the ancient Greek term 'Axon' meaning the information conducting appendix of a nerve cell).
The business idea: web based transmission of complex information on technical processes and products. In order to explain these products and processes, information- and service platforms were developed and merchandised. The services offered included technological analysis, technological management, and knowledge management.
2002-2005
Reorientation
Following the dot-com crisis and the insolvency of the aixonix GmbH, a new start was made in 2002 with aixonix Solutions AG, which focused on planning, conceptualization, and realization of IT-systems and business processes.
The service portfolio: analysis, consulting, strategy development, system specification and software development, integration and implementation of IT-solutions, evaluation and conception of IT-architecture with emphasis on sustainable information architecture.
2006-2007
Expansion
Following the successful re-launch of aixonix, the number of enterprises of the aixonix solution AG tripled.
2007-2008
Realignment
After entering a period of realignment, the aixonix AG was founded as a holding with its headquarters in Aachen. Numerous subsidiaries were launched:
- aixonix IT Consulting GmbH, Aachen
- aixonix SI GmbH, Hamburg
- aixonix Inc., Silver Spring/USA
- aixonix Asia, Singapore
- aixonix China, Shanghai/China
In 2008 the subsidiary aixonix Si GmbH merged with the SYCOR GmbH to the SYCOR aixonix GmbH which resulted in a strong cooperation between aixonix and SYCOR aixonix GmbH. Aixonix now employs more than 100 persons worldwide.
2009-2010
Growth
2009 saw the establishment of several new locations both in Germany and abroad and continued progression in the working relationships with partners on an international level.

The brand Aixonix and its identity as a separate, supplier independent business remain unchanged. As part of a larger group of companies, Aixonix gains not only mass but also stability. Through numerous common projects with other members of the group, Aixonix can cater to a larger market and offer its employees enhanced development opportunities.
