BOC ASSET MANAGEMENT GMBH

Their core work

BOC Group develops business process management and enterprise architecture software (notably the ADONIS and ADOit platforms). In H2020 projects, they contribute workflow modelling, process orchestration, and metamodelling capabilities — essentially the software layer that lets complex industrial and construction processes be designed, visualized, and automated. Their tools bridge the gap between IT systems and operational workflows, making them a recurring technology partner in projects that need to digitize and standardize industrial or building processes.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 period (2015–2018), BOC focused broadly on cloud IT alignment, energy efficiency in offices, additive manufacturing workflows, and manufacturing optimization — applying their process modelling tools across diverse industrial contexts. From 2019 onward, their work converged sharply on digital twins, BIM, and interoperability standards for both construction and manufacturing. This shift signals a deliberate move from general business process management toward becoming a specialist in digital twin infrastructure and cross-domain data interoperability.

BOC is positioning itself as the workflow and interoperability layer for digital twin ecosystems, increasingly focused on construction and smart manufacturing — expect future work at the intersection of BIM, IoT, and process automation.

How they like to work

BOC operates overwhelmingly as a participant (7 of 8 projects), contributing specialized software components rather than leading consortia — though their one coordination (CloudSocket, their largest grant at EUR 903K) shows they can lead when the topic aligns with their core platform. With 93 unique partners across 21 countries, they maintain a very broad network rather than repeating the same partnerships, suggesting they are sought after as a reliable technology component provider. This makes them easy to integrate into new consortia without concerns about exclusivity or competing allegiances.

BOC has collaborated with 93 distinct partners across 21 countries, giving them one of the broader networks you'd expect from a technology SME. Their reach spans Western and Eastern Europe with no obvious geographic concentration beyond their Austrian base.

What sets them apart

BOC brings something rare to EU consortia: production-grade business process management software that can be adapted to project-specific needs, rather than building tools from scratch. While many SMEs in H2020 offer consulting or prototype-level software, BOC contributes mature modelling platforms with real commercial users. Their ability to operate across manufacturing, construction, and energy sectors — always through the lens of workflow modelling and interoperability — makes them an unusually versatile technology partner.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CloudSocket
  BOC's only coordinated project and largest grant (EUR 903K), directly aligned with their core business process management platform.
• BIMERR
  Represents BOC's pivot to BIM and renovation, combining their workflow modelling expertise with building interoperability standards.
• Change2Twin
  Focuses on helping manufacturing SMEs adopt digital twins — positions BOC at the centre of the Industry 4.0 digital twin standardization push.
