Collogia

What Collogia does

Collogia IT Services GmbH, operating since July 2024 as affinis enterprise services GmbH, is a German IT consulting and managed services firm headquartered in Köln with additional offices in Lübeck and Bremen and workshop/training locations in Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Lübeck. Founded in 1979, the firm specializes in SAP-centric services covering the full SAP Basis lifecycle: 24/7 SAP Managed Services, Application Management Services, IT Infrastructure Managed Services, SAP Security, Hosting and Cloud services from a TÜV-certified German data center (DIN EN 50600 RZ Stufe 3tekPlus, ISO/IEC 27001), and SAP Solution Manager as a Service operated independently of hyperscalers. Consulting offerings span SAP HANA database consulting, HANA migration, S/4HANA pre-studies, S/4HANA development and migration, lifecycle management (EHP upgrades, HR patches), Java development, and Business Intelligence. Two proprietary assets — the SAP System Freeze (audit-compliant archival of legacy SAP systems) and the SAP ChaRM Copy Tool (revision-secure migration of change-request documents between Solution Manager versions) — address regulatory retention obligations around S/4HANA transitions. The aes Akademie training program in SAP Basis, HANA, Fiori and Solution Manager supports both customer upskilling and internal pipeline development.

The company's revenue model combines recurring managed-services and hosting subscriptions (multi-year contracts, monthly billing) with project-based SAP consulting, fixed-scope S/4HANA pre-studies (with a free initial consultation), and training/workshop revenue. Pricing is predominantly quote-based, plus 19% German VAT, with 14-day net payment terms and a published price list only for Solution Manager as a Service. The go-to-market is sales-led with on-site and remote delivery, augmented by channel partnerships with SAP (Gold Partner), Microsoft (Solution Partner), Bitech AG, aConTech and PCS/Beratungscontor, plus event-driven demand generation through webinars and academy workshops. The customer base, drawn from a diverse logo wall including DMG, Beeline, KTR, BPW, Postbank, Klosterfrau, RWZ, and the City of Köln, is positioned as branchenneutral and largely German Mittelstand / enterprise. Ownership chain: affinis AG acquired 86.09% of Collogia AG in September 2022, the subsidiary was rebranded to affinis enterprise services GmbH in July 2024, and effective September 1, 2025 the entity was acquired by Devoteam as part of its Amplify 2028 strategy, making Devoteam the ultimate parent alongside Enerhym GmbH.

Core offering

Collogia IT Services (now operating as affinis enterprise services GmbH within the Devoteam Group) provides SAP-focused IT consulting and managed services for enterprise customers. Its core offering combines 24/7 SAP Basis managed services, managed hosting and private cloud for SAP landscapes, SAP Solution Manager consulting and as-a-service, SAP HANA and S/4HANA migration/development projects, and proprietary tools for legacy system archival (SAP System Freeze) and revision-secure document migration (SAP ChaRM Copy Tool). Complementary practices include Java development, Business Intelligence consulting, and the aes Akademie for SAP training.

Product overview

Collogia IT Services (now operating as affinis enterprise services GmbH within the Devoteam Group since 01.09.2025) delivers a portfolio of SAP-centric IT services rather than a single unified software product. Its offerings combine a managed services platform — Hosting & Cloud, SAP Managed Services (including SAP AMS Services, IT Infrastructure Managed Services, and SAP Security), and Solution Manager as a Service — with deep SAP consulting (SAP HANA Database, HANA Migration, S/4HANA Vorstudie, S/4HANA Development & Migration, Lifecycle Management, and general SAP Basis Consulting) plus complementary practices in Java Development and Business Intelligence. Layered on top are Collogia's proprietary assets: SAP System Freeze for regulatory-compliant legacy archiving, and the SAP ChaRM Copy Tool for revision-secure migration of change documents between SAP Solution Manager versions. The aes Akademie training program rounds out the portfolio by feeding the SAP Basis skill pipeline. Together these services share a common operations backbone (ISO 27001-certified ISMS, DIN EN 50600-certified data center, SAP Gold Partner / Microsoft Solution Partner status, and an SAP Recognized Expertise certification in HANA) and are increasingly positioned under Devoteam's broader AI-driven Amplify 2028 strategy.
