Latest News: NSI changes to CURSOR-XPS

We have combined our service and support capabilities for high-performance databases with the system-oriented tool development of Nonne & Schneider.

Starting July 4th, 2024, you can find us under one roof: CURSOR Expert Solutions GmbH.

CURSOR Expert Solutions will seamlessly continue all business activities of Nonne & Schneider, but will also take over the development of the CURSOR Admin-Scout. Our extensive portfolio of services and support will in future be offered via CURSOR Expert Solutions.

This consolidates our expertise in Solution Management, both personnel-wise and organizationally, at one location. The executive board will be expanded with Erik Stahlhut, and „XPS“ will remain as a subsidiary within the CURSOR Software AG group in Giessen.

For customers and partners of CURSOR Service Distribution, initially, little will change. All active contracts and agreements remain valid. Your points of contact do not change.

All service offerings available on our website will continue to be available.
The contact details remain the same, just get in touch with us.
