The TOP 100 company portrait published on the occasion of the award states (excerpt):
The current CEO Thomas Brosch had the business idea back in the 1990s when he was working for an IT system house. He then set up his own business in 2000: nicos develops data networks for medium-sized customers from Germany who do business internationally. Whether in the Amazon region or deepest Russia, the Münster-based company manages to install stable data networks all over the world. They have already been active at over 2,000 customer locations in 130 countries. Data encryption is of great importance for secure transfer. Not only is this sometimes a technical challenge, it can also be politically difficult at times, for example when it comes to networking customer locations with branches in emerging and crisis countries.
Thomas Brosch works closely with the Head of Business Development, who is the interface for the innovative ideas of all teams in the company. "I travel a lot myself and bring my impressions back to the company, where we then develop new solutions together," reports Brosch. Discussions with start-ups in Silicon Valley or in Israel, where cyber security is a top priority, always provide him with new ideas.
Since 1993, compamedia has been awarding the TOP 100 seal for special innovative strength and above-average innovation success to medium-sized companies. The scientific management has been in the hands of Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke since 2002. Franke is the founder and director of the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. The mentor of TOP 100 is the science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar. Project partners are the Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research and the BVMW. As media partners, manager magazin and impulse accompany the company comparison.

Münster, July 16, 2021: "All beginnings are difficult, and that applies equally: There is magic in every beginning.

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.
