ACP

What ACP does

ACP GRUPPE is a privately held Austrian IT solutions provider founded in 1993, headquartered in Vienna, and operating across eight Austrian cities including Graz, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Leonding, Tulln, Marchtrenk, and Ansfelden. The company describes itself as the market leader (Marktführer) for modern IT solutions in Austria and delivers its offerings through four interconnected practices: Hybrid Cloud & Datacenter, Modern Workplace, Network & Security, and Digital Solutions, with a complementary managed-services layer spanning Device as a Service, Mobile as a Service, Workspace as a Service, Managed Printing, IT Service Desk, Security Operations Center (SOC), and Videoconferencing as a Service.

Underlying technology is built almost entirely on third-party enterprise platforms rather than proprietary IP: ACP is a certified Channel Partner/Reseller for Microsoft (Cloud Solution Provider, Solutions Partner for Modern Work with Copilot focus), VMware by Broadcom, Cisco, HP, HPE, Dell, Apple (Premium Business Partner), Lenovo, Veeam, and NetApp, with the in-house layer consisting of integration, implementation, and 24/7 managed-operations capabilities. ACP Tirol carries ISO/IEC 27001 certification and the Cyber Trust Austria Gold Label, supporting regulated and public-sector engagements.

The business model combines four revenue streams: (1) subscription/recurring managed services, (2) hardware and software resale from vendor partners, (3) project-based professional services and consulting, and (4) cloud subscriptions delivered via the Microsoft CSP program. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account teams, supplemented by an ACP Webshop e-commerce channel for SMB/individual buyers and co-marketing with vendor partners. Customer segments are horizontal — Austrian Enterprises (primary), Government and Public Sector (e.g., Austrian universities SOC contract), and Mid-Market — with notable reference customers including DER STANDARD (joint Microsoft Mid-Market Award 2025) and Austrian higher-education institutions. Leadership is led by CEO Rainer Kalkbrener, with Edwin Klinglhuber as Director of Sales and Doris Herzig as Head of Human Resources.
