VERBI GmbH produces and distributes MAXQDA, one of the leading software tools for qualitative data analysis, from our office in Berlin, Germany.

The VERBI office is located in Charlottenburg, Berlin, next to Technische Universität Berlin and Berlin University of Arts (UDK) at Charlottenburg’s “Innovation Center” (CHIC), where VERBI works next door to start up firms in software and information technology and in close cooperation with the Technische Universität Berlin to bring about the next surge in innovative functionality for qualitative data analysis.

1989 after multiple years of development the first version of our QDA software is released under the name MAX (for the DOS Windows System). Since then it has been continuously developed and has seen many changes over the years – the biggest step stones being MAXQDA 2, MAXQDA 2007 and finally MAXQDA 10. The history of MAXQDA has always been exciting and surprising and hasn’t come to an end yet.

MAXQDA 10 is the newest member of the MAX software family and belongs to a handful of pioneer programs which have given qualitative researchers a computer-based tool to analyze their data. Today, MAXQDA is one of the leading programs for qualitative data analysis worldwide and indispensable within the spectrum of professional tools.
