What T&A SYSTEME does

T&A SYSTEME GmbH is a privately held German managed network service provider founded in 1994 and headquartered in Hattingen, Germany, with a US subsidiary in New York. The company specializes in software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) for enterprises with geographically distributed locations, delivered primarily as a fully managed service built on VeloCloud SD-WAN technology (originally VMware/Broadcom, now Arista). Core offerings include managed SD-WAN, SASE, microsegmentation, smart campus networking (integrating Private 5G, Wi-Fi, LAN, and IoT), and data center solutions (Hitachi storage, Dell PowerProtect, Dell VxRail), supplemented by Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider services. The company holds Arista Elite Partner status (achieved 2025) and was the first VeloCloud partner in the German-speaking region since 2015.

The business operates as an underlay aggregator and virtual network operator, procuring and managing connectivity from local providers in each country on behalf of customers and consolidating hardware, software, maintenance, monitoring, security, logistics, and billing into a single managed contract. T&A's proprietary NIAMS network management platform, developed in-house since 2001, supports proactive monitoring and operations across 5,000+ SD-WAN locations and 10,000+ managed lines for 80+ enterprise customers. The company sells through a direct enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by channel partner referrals, using industry events (VMware Explore, DMEA, UNITI expo) and webinars for demand generation.

Revenue is generated through recurring managed service subscriptions, hardware rental, connectivity markups and line management fees, Microsoft CSP resale commissions, data center project work, and time-based IT operational support. Pricing is modular and quote-based rather than tiered, with monthly billing in EUR or USD and a free proof-of-concept offered at up to three sites before commitment. The company's primary customer verticals are fuel station and mobility operators, healthcare, and manufacturing/industrial enterprises with multi-site global footprints.
