Its initial purpose was to provide shared IT services to its shareholders, which included several regional banks and insurance companies. Over the decades, ARZ expanded its service portfolio to cover core banking applications, payment systems, and regulatory compliance tools. In the 1990s and 2000s, the company invested heavily in modern data centre infrastructure and software development, becoming a key IT provider for the Austrian financial sector. It also began offering services to non-shareholder clients.
