What Straight Solutions GmbH does

Straight Solutions GmbH is a privately held IT managed services provider headquartered in Unterföhring near Munich, Germany, founded around 2004. The firm serves small and medium-sized businesses (KMU) in the Munich region as an external full-service IT department, taking responsibility for day-to-day IT operations, first-level user support, and ongoing infrastructure optimization. The company emphasizes a "make IT simple" customer-experience proposition and positions itself as a long-term, personal-relationship B2B partner rather than a transactional vendor. With an estimated 20-50 employees, the firm has operated for over 18-20 years and holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work designation attained in 2024.

The technology stack is centered on the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem — Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Teams — with dedicated security services built on Palo Alto Networks firewall technology and remote support delivered via TeamViewer. Core service lines include managed IT services, first-level IT support (including vacation coverage and selective outsourcing of internal IT functions), cloud transformation consulting and migration, IT strategy consulting, and managed firewall/security administration. The company also maintains GDPR-compliant data handling and 256-bit SSL encryption on its web properties.

The business model is predominantly recurring managed-services revenue (multi-year IT outsourcing contracts), supplemented by project-based revenue from cloud migrations, security implementations, and infrastructure upgrades. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client scope and user counts; no public pricing exists. Distribution is direct B2B with no channel partners or resellers, and the GTM motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored on the Munich metropolitan area with no documented geographic expansion. Ownership is founder/family controlled — CEO Alexandra Hanke (Geschäftsführerin) and founder Christian Meyer — with no institutional capital, venture funding, M&A, or public-market signals reported.
