community4you | How everything began:
Everything began with the visionary idea of open-EIS, an open source company information system (Enterprise Information System). The goal was to create a technical open source platform, which offers the opportunity for software developers to initiate their own further developments.
"To provide users at any time, any place and in their language with all information they require.”
The focus of the development work on the Commercial Open Source Software „open-EIS“ has been the building of a complete multilingual information system for companies offering a uniform company-wide interface for all applications and with the capability to seamlessly integrate in pre-existing architectures. community4you AG´s goal has been to develop a software system which provides all users with personalised and localised information in the desired language while ensuring a high security standard.

community4you | This is how the company name developed:
Modern e-commerce lives from communities. We are building communities for our customers and other business areas. We support our clients not just from the idea of a project till its realisation but also furthermore and within a trust-based cooperation. The customer remains independent, benefits from our experience, our knowledge, our methodology and receives an independent advice with an honest evaluation. Just like in a community.
community4you | This is how the company logo developed:
There are cycles of life, water, day or year. There are product and business cycles. Planets circle around suns. All this cycles represent at the same time permanent change, stability and reliability. Thus, our logo is moving within a cycle. Cycles give the impression of clarity and perfection and thus the cycle becomes the symbol of our logo.
The two colours silver-grey and orange stand for the goals of community4you. Grey stands for objectivity, functionality and neutrality. Orange stands for dynamic, energy, originality and activity.
Integrity and reliability are symbolised via the simple clear form and the limitation of both expressive colours.

community4you | This is how the open-EIS Logo developed:
Whether elephant, camel or penguin many important representatives of the open-source community have been represented by animals. That is why the open-source product logo joined the community. But which animal is symbolising our product? An important starting point of this open-source community was Linux. Probably also our present-day company wouldn´t exist without this operating system. That is why our mascot should be close to the penguin "Tux".
Our company information system is required to manage important business information of the companies. Security, reliability, strength (performance), resistance and adaptability also in suboptimal conditions are important characteristics to create a necessary confidence base.
The living environment of Tux with eternal snow, cold and ice are representing these limiting conditions. An animal which is surviving here proves its adaptability and a successful evolution trail. What animals that have traditionally been living here is characterising strength and greatness as well as security and resistance? For us it was the bear, thus the “polar bear”. The logo firstly is symbolising the belonging to the open-source product community and the proximity to Linux and secondly the products characteristics. Last but not least the pun creates with the products abbreviation (EIS) an additional connection to the living space of penguin and polar bear.

community4you | From Start-up to Global Player:
At the beginning the company stayed in the Technology Centre Chemnitz (TCC) on the street Annabergerstraße 240 in Chemnitz. Since 2004 the registered office is located in the „Villa Hahn“ on the street Händelstraße 9 in Chemnitz. With the expert restauration of the villa a great contribution to the preservation of historic structure was made and thus represents a piece of city history.
The villa is named in honour of the VW legend Prof. Dr. Carl Hahn “Villa Hahn”. In 2014 the community4you GmbH was renamed to community4you AG. Currently, with the expansion of a villa in the district Rabenstein a second company location is being created.
The competition on the software market is huge. In particular in the area of fleet and leasing management a density of competitive structure is recognized. The market is increasingly dominated by global players. Since 2001 community4you AG has been able to continuously expand its market presence and to market successfully its software products worldwide.

Since 2016 the company has been naming right partner for the Chemnitz stadium of the CFC, the community4you ARENA.
community4you ARENA | A name that connects:
Many fans were surprised when community4you AG secured the name rights. In advance there had been detailed negotiations and conversations with the city Chemnitz as owner and the CFC, represented by their marketing company Infront. In this context, the preferred name of the sponsor was chosen - „community4you ARENA” – with which both the company name and the message of a strong community are transported.
Even if the name seems to be new and takes getting used to it, it will be decisive for the Chemnitz FC and the region. Football increases like no other sport the sense of community. The new stadium shining in a brand-new light is now a collective arena to spend unforgettable hours in, and the long-term engagement of the emerging company community4you AG is a clear commitment to our region and our „city of modernity”.
The naming right sponsoring offers our company a great opportunity to increase its attachment to Chemnitz and raise public awareness throughout the region. With our fleet- and leasing management software we are already European market leader. Since June we belong as ‚Top-Innovator’ to the innovation elite of Germany. With our proprietary integration platform open-EIS we are standing eye to eye with global players like IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Apple or Google. Notwithstanding the overwhelming success everything in our company is also set for growth in the future. To give top developer throughout the region the opportunity to work in an innovative software company we are pleased to receive applications of high qualified staff who would like to work together with us on our innovative software products.
