What Unit IT does

Unit IT A/S is a Danish full-service IT infrastructure and managed services provider founded in 1991 and headquartered in Middelfart, Denmark, operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of the family-controlled conglomerate USTC (United Shipping & Trading Company). The company organizes its portfolio around five service pillars: Infrastructure & Cloud (Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Kubernetes-as-a-Service, Secure Private Cloud, Public Cloud on Azure, Azure Migration & Modernization), Managed Services (IT operations, backup management, database management, Disaster Recovery as a Service, Software Defined Network), Modern Workplace (Microsoft 365, end-user and device management, end-user support), Cyber Security (24/7 Cyber Defence Center, security awareness training, business impact assessment, DMARC/Brand Protection), and Data & AI (Data Platform on Microsoft Fabric, Business Intelligence on Power BI, AI Readiness, Data Warehouse). Underlying technology is concentrated in the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, SQL Server, Power BI, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric) supplemented by Veeam (Platinum Partner) for backup, Fortinet/Cisco/Aruba for networking, and proprietary components including a custom data extraction engine, BI Cockpit dashboard, and incremental data loading methodology. All services are delivered from Danish data centres and governed by ISO 27001, ISAE 3402, and ISAE 3000 certifications.

The company serves ambitious Danish enterprises with complex IT and regulatory requirements, named logos include Universal Robots, TV2 Danmark, WOCA Danmark, Sydtrafik, Andersen Partners, and Veltec, drawn from manufacturing, legal, media, robotics, transportation, and service industries. Following the December 2023 acquisition of GlobalConnect's outsourcing division (which absorbed a customer base exceeding 30,000 B2B entities in the Nordics) and the June 2024 acquisition of Cepheo's Infrastructure Managed Services business, Unit IT more than doubled its revenue, reaching DKK 483 million in FY 2024/25, alongside an employee count of 100+ and operational expansion to a Prague delivery center housing 50+ specialists.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring Managed IT Services (IT operations, backup, database, DRaaS, SDN), Professional Consulting (cloud, database, BI, IT assessment), subscription-based Infrastructure-as-a-Service and cloud offerings, and Modern Workplace subscriptions. Distribution is entirely direct enterprise sales, led by a dedicated CCO overseeing pre-sale, sales, and marketing activities across the Nordics, supported by content marketing, LinkedIn, SEO-driven website presence, newsletters, and press releases through Cision. Pricing is custom and quote-based for enterprise engagements, with no public pricing disclosed.
