nicos AG and OEDIV launch strategic cooperation
Münster, April 22, 2021. nicos AG, the Münster-based network specialist, and the Oetker Group company OEDIV Oetker Daten- und Informationsverarbeitung KG from Bielefeld have announced their strategic partnership. With immediate effect, the two companies will be working together very closely and on an equal footing to provide joint services in the field of IT infrastructure. The aim is to complement each other's service portfolios with the partner's services and to jointly develop new services.
"Secure and highly available infrastructures are now more important than ever. Especially in times of the corona pandemic, the (further) development of new security services and the continuous adaptation of the service portfolio to the new challenges of medium-sized, globally active companies are necessary," says Thomas Brosch, CEO and founder of nicos AG. "With OEDIV as a premium provider of infrastructure solutions and managed services, we have gained a strong partner to realize our plans."
Martin Stratmann, Managing Director of OEDIV, has known nicos AG since 2011 from initial joint projects and explains the common objective: "IT organizations are generally faced with the challenge of contributing quickly and efficiently to the business success of companies and at the same time have to offer and support increasingly complex IT services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with only slightly increasing budgets. In order to manage and cope with the growing volume of hardware and software products in the information and communication sector, flexibility and specialized know-how are essential. Each partner contributes its core competencies for the customer and thus ensures a high level of expertise." Delia Wulle, Managing Director of OEDIV, is also pleased about the cooperation: "We see ourselves as an extended workbench for the defined IT services of our customers and support them with modular managed services. With nicos AG as an equal partner, we can offer our customers a broader, high-quality service portfolio, particularly with regard to 24/7 WAN operation and global carrier management."
The idea of a partnership between the two managed services providers was born two years ago. The paths of nicos AG and OEDIV had crossed time and again in customer projects. What nicos AG and OEDIV have in common is their shared clientele - German SMEs - and a deep understanding of the specific requirements of this particular clientele.
