SCALTEL

What SCALTEL does

SCALTEL is a privately held German IT managed service provider founded in 1992 and headquartered in Waltenhofen (Allgäu), operating through a four-entity group structure (SCALTEL, SCALTEL Smart Building, SCALTEL SNS Systems, SCALCOM) with approximately 300 employees across three German offices (Waltenhofen, Wiesbaden, Neuss) and managed service delivery across 200+ customer sites in 40+ countries. The company delivers 24/7 managed security, network, and building operations through its integrated SOC, NOC, and BOC, supported by ISO 9001, 20000, 27001, and 14001 certifications and a 'Made in Germany' digital sovereignty positioning aimed at the DACH Mittelstand and enterprise market.

The core technology stack is built on tier-1 OEM integrations rather than proprietary platforms: Cisco (Gold Integrator, Managed Services Partner of the Year), Palo Alto Networks (Diamond Innovator, including Prisma SASE and Cortex XDR with Precision AI), Extreme Networks (Diamond Elite), HPE Aruba (Platinum), Dell (Gold), and a smart-building stack combining Axis, Hikvision, Hexagon, and Advancis WinGuard PSIM. AI capabilities are integrated, not core: computer vision for video analytics and perimeter security, anomaly detection across video/audio modalities, AIOps for SASE/network telemetry, and autonomous escalation actions — but no proprietary models, no published research, and no senior AI hires are disclosed.

SCALTEL's business model combines recurring managed services (SOC/NOC/BOC subscriptions), professional services and consulting (ISMS, GDPR, IT assessments via the Infinity Track methodology), hardware and product resale (mainly via SCALCOM's e-commerce storefront and enterprise procurement), and IT-as-a-Service subscription offerings. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales complemented by inside sales, demo-driven demand generation, event marketing (TechUpdate forums, Business Breakfasts), and partner-channel co-selling. Revenue, ARR, and growth rates are not disclosed.
