Registries usually operate an IT-infrastructure supporting at least data management as one of the business processes. Several activities in Germany between 2007 and 2018 surveyed the market of respective software products. Combining a survey with representatives of software products with a workshop protocol of software demonstrations, a detailed insight into the market of IT-components arose. A comparison between 2015 and 2018 revealed little progress. The focus is still electronic data capture functionality. With the presented activities, rich material is available to assist registry developers in the planning of their IT-infrastructure and the selection of software products.
