datac becomes q.beyond Consulting Solutions: IT service provider integrates subsidiary into group brand

• Enhanced Microsoft expertise, more extensive solutions for customers
• Top address for voice integration in Microsoft environments
• More than 150 joint projects since takeover

Cologne, 15 May 2023 IT service provider q.beyond has made further progress in integrating its subsidiaries and standardising its portfolio. Within the One q.beyond project, the former subsidiary scanplus was integrated into the group brand at the beginning of the year. As part of the same project, datac, the Microsoft specialist taken over in 2021, has now been renamed with immediate effect as q.beyond Consulting Solutions.

Customers have benefited from numerous advantages since the takeover already. In their digitalisation projects, they can draw on the entire catalogue of IT services available at the q.beyond Group. This way, the IT service provider can provide all-round support to SMEs in their digitalisation. Overall, more than 150 joint customer projects have been launched since the takeover.

Microsoft voice expertise in demand across Europe

q.beyond Consulting Solutions has a special focus on consulting and introducing cloud-based Microsoft environments at companies. Alongside Office apps and Teams, these include new solutions like Viva and the Microsoft Power Platform. Numerous medium-sized companies, such as RKW Group, Hevert Arzneimittel and Wempe, are drawing on this expertise. Particularly in the field of voice, the IT specialist has now built up unique expertise and is in demand, also from large companies, across Europe.

If you wish to replace your old telephone system and communicate independently of your location and device by way of voice integration in the Office environment, then we are basically the only address to turn to, comments Sabine Erlebach, Managing Director of q.beyond Consulting Solutions. This expertise is also in demand from large telecommunications companies. For q.beyonds subsidiary, this had opened up further indirect sales channels.

We are delighted by this further milestone in integrating q.beyond companies, stresses Thies Rixen, CEO of q.beyond AG. This step will provide us with additional market opportunities. We benefit from our shared expertise, can offer even better advice to our customers and provide them with a wider spectrum of services.
