Who is e-DATA?

We are a leading manufacturer of Web-based appliances for physical access control and time & attendance. e-DATA products include an integrated fingerprint biometrics module that is FIPS 201 compliant. Our offices are located in Frisco, Texas (Dallas) and Leonberg, Germany (Stuttgart).

In 1999, e-DATA developed the first network-ready, Web-enabled data collection terminal using Java on a Linux OS. For more than 15 years, the company also developed and deployed enterprise-level access control systems that are used by major banks, retailers and pharmacies. Building on that foundation, e-DATA has developed a full line of feature-rich access control and time & attendance products with the software application embedded in the hardware, eliminating the need for servers and software.

Where did e-DATA originate?

The company was founded by Dietrich Titze more than 20 years ago near Stuttgart, Germany, under the name Titze Datentechnik GmbH. In 2002, e-DATA was purchased by George K. Broady, who later moved the headquarters to the United States. In 2010, John Carter was named President/CTO, and in May 2011, e-DATA was acquired by the Kaba Group.
