DATEV is a registered cooperative society (i.e. "eG") that is primarily a technical information services provider for tax, accountant and attorneys. While it initially emerged as a data center service provider, it now provides software directly to end users (e.g. businesses) and consulting services for these occupations. The co-operative's focus is on the tax market.
The organisation is a registered cooperative. Membership is only open to members of the tax, accountancy and legal professions.
DATEV was founded on 14 February 1966, by 65 tax agents in the Nuremberg area to provide accounting services to its clients with the help of a computer. Its original name was DATEV Data Processing Organization for Tax Agents and Related Tax Services Providers within the Federal Republic of Germany, a registered co-operative society with limited liability ("Datenverarbeitung und Dienstleistung für den steuerberatenden Beruf"). The initiators were Heinz Sebiger, the 1997 honorary citizen of Nuremberg, and Joachim Mattheus.
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
I'm not a saint but stand accused
You're with someone who thinks love's the same as being used
And now suspicious minds may say it's over
Over
Whether I live or die, you are my saviour
You're my saviour
It's my d¨¦j¨¤ vu, sweet d¨¦j¨¤ vu
Through the feast or famine I'll be with you
Sheltering arms reach out to you
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
The silent nights, I cry your name
You're with someone who says
They can get you through your pain
These golden years keep on returning
It's hurting
Precious and few
You're my saviour, you're my saviour
It's my d¨¦j¨¤ vu, sweet d¨¦j¨¤ vu
Through the feast or famine I'll be with you
Sheltering arms reach out to you
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
And cherish what they've lost
When often it's too late
It's my d¨¦j¨¤ vu (memories of you)
Sweet d¨¦j¨¤ vu (keep coming through)
Through the feast or famine
I'll be with you (all that is true)
Sheltering arms reach out to you
Oh baby
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
