What Dembach Goo Informatik GmbH & Co. KG does

Dembach Goo Informatik GmbH & Co. KG (DG-i) is a Cologne-based, owner-managed IT services firm founded in 2003 by Andreas Dembach and Manon Goo, operating as a GmbH & Co. KG (limited partnership). The company delivers end-to-end IT services across three pillars: consulting (IT strategy, digital transformation, BAIT/VAIT regulatory expertise, technical due diligence), software development (web/mobile applications, REST/GraphQL APIs, DevOps, CI/CD automation), and cloud operations (managed Kubernetes, private cloud, site reliability engineering, managed services). The technical foundation rests on an open-source stack (Kubernetes, Proxmox VE, Ceph, ArgoCD, GitLab) delivered from DG-i's own geo-redundant infrastructure in ISO 27001-certified German data centers in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt.

DG-i's customer base is concentrated in regulated industries, primarily German financial services and insurance (Bausparkassen, cooperative banks, payment providers, insurance carriers), with additional engagements in telecommunications, e-commerce, fintech, media, and hospitality. Named enterprise clients include Allianz, Deutsche Telekom, T-Systems, DATEV, Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, DZ Privatbank, VR Payment, BAUFINEX, FinMatch, Cleverbridge, and G+J Parenting Media. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct enterprise engagement via website, phone, and referrals, supplemented by open-source community presence (sponsorships of Debian, PostgreSQL, Icinga, FrOSCon, Evoke) and a curated partner ecosystem (CNCF, Proxmox, DataCore, VMware, Croit, AWS, Azure, adorsys). Pricing is fully quote-based on project or managed-service scope with no public disclosure.

The firm operates with approximately 30+ employees under a three-partner leadership team (Andreas Dembach, Manon Goo, Mike Liebsch) and holds certifications including Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP), Proxmox Silver Partner, and CNCF membership. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements and recurring managed services contracts, with no external investors, parent company, or public listing disclosed.
