What Orbit does

ORBIT IT-Solutions (legal name: ORBIT Gesellschaft für Applikations- und Informationssysteme mbH) is a Bonn-headquartered IT consulting and solutions firm founded in 1985 that targets the German Mittelstand with end-to-end digital transformation services. The company's portfolio spans four pillars: KI & IT-Security (IT security consulting, AI/KI-Beratung, and Zero Trust frameworks); Business Apps (ERP based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, CRM consulting, and Business Intelligence); New Work (Modern Workplace, migration to Microsoft 365, and Unified Endpoint Management); and Cloud & Infrastructure (cloud solutions, server and storage systems, and backup/disaster recovery). Supporting professional services include IT quality assurance, project management, change management, IT support, custom software development, and mobile network planning (including 5G expansion support for telecom clients).

The underlying technology stack is anchored in the Microsoft ecosystem—Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive—augmented by partner-delivered capabilities such as Solcentrix Workplace-as-a-Service and Hornetsecurity Security Awareness. ORBIT's stated proprietary differentiators are its customer-centric project methodology (MUP), integrated change management, and "validation in production" quality assurance, rather than any software product of its own. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise and mid-market field sales with inside-sales lead generation (KI-Quick-Check, webinars) and a certified Microsoft partner channel that supports co-sell into M365/Dynamics 365 opportunities.

Commercially, ORBIT generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements and ongoing managed services, with pricing quoted per project scope under multi-year contracts. The company reports €50M in fiscal year 2025 revenue, 500+ active customers, and 6,000+ projects delivered over 40 years, with 325+ IT/AI employees out of 350+ total headcount across 21 nationalities. ORBIT is a 100% subsidiary of T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom AG), which provides strategic backing and access to internal customers such as Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH.
