What SSI Solutions does

SSI Solutions GmbH is a privately held German IT company headquartered in Visbek (Oldenburger Münsterland) that operates exclusively as the internal IT service provider for companies of the family-owned EW Group. Its mandate covers three tightly bundled service lines: Systems (custom development of high-performance IT systems with web-based dial-in access), Security (holistic IT security including behavior-based systems that detect and isolate unknown attacks before damage occurs), and Infrastructure (a hybrid cloud architecture combining a self-operated private cloud hosted in external German data centers with public cloud services, delivered in a GDPR-compliant manner). The technology stack is anchored on Microsoft — Azure, Microsoft 365, and on-premise Microsoft infrastructure — and supports several thousand IT accesses worldwide across the group's global operations, including hosted ERP environments.

The company's go-to-market is non-commercial by design: SSI Solutions does not market or sell services to external customers, and there is no public pricing. Revenue is generated through managed-service internal contracts with EW Group companies, with IT spend allocated within the group rather than won in open competition. Distribution is direct via internal consulting, system engineering, and service desk teams, supported by a partner network that includes external production-systems integrators for shop-floor digitalization, 1&1 IONOS for web hosting, Microsoft for cloud and productivity tooling, and datenschutz nord GmbH as external data protection officer.

The unit is small and structured around an apprenticeship-to-hire model: a young team with vocational training (Fachinformatiker), a dual-study program in Wirtschaftsinformatik (B.Sc.) with IBS Oldenburg, and IHK AusbildungsSiegel recognition for 2024-2027. Led by Managing Directors Manuel Bramlage and Torge Jens Burgtorf, the company holds ISO 27001 certification (displayed November 2025) and operates from a single headquarters location, with its scale effectively bounded by the IT demand of its EW Group parent.
