What ADLON Intelligent Solutions does

ADLON Intelligent Solutions GmbH is a privately held German IT service provider founded in 1988 in Ravensburg, specializing in secure digital workplace solutions built on the Microsoft technology stack (Microsoft 365, Azure, Teams, Power Platform, Enterprise Mobility + Security, and Microsoft Copilot). The company delivers consulting, implementation, and managed services organized around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, with core offerings spanning Managed Security (SOC, Vulnerability Management, Endpoint Protection, Security Awareness, NIS2 implementation), Workplace Services (Client Management, Device as a Service, Collaboration, Infrastructure, Service Desk), and Workplace Automation (Power Platform, Copilot integration, Power BI). It serves primarily German mid-sized enterprises (Mittelstand) and international corporations, with named clients including Airbus, DRK, Ravensburger, MTU Aero Engines, Lekkerland, Meckatzer, Cegos, Haas, Zollern, and the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA).

The business model combines recurring managed services contracts (typically 24-month terms with a 10% discount incentive), subscription-based Device as a Service, project-based consulting billed on Time & Material or fixed-price terms (14-day invoicing), and discrete unit-priced security checks at 1,000 EUR each. ADLON operates from headquarters in Ravensburg and a branch office in Ulm, and holds ISO 27001, EcoVadis, Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex (DNK), and Microsoft Modern Work partner certifications. GTM is sales-led and consultative, combining direct enterprise sales with content marketing (whitepapers, newsletters, Ratgeber guides), events (Escape Game, NIS2 workshops), and LinkedIn presence. In November 2024, ownership was transferred to the ADLON Familienstiftung (family foundation), with operational management led by Managing Directors Sebastian Eberle and Sven Hillebrecht following the 2023 leadership transition from former sole shareholder Andreas Richstätter.
