PDV-Systeme

What PDV-Systeme does

PDV-Systeme GmbH is a privately held German specialist IT solutions provider, headquartered in Goslar with branch offices in Dachau and Flensburg. Founded in 1983 as an engineering office before evolving into an IT-focused firm, the company concentrates on Industrial IT infrastructure and IT security for customers in critical infrastructure (KRITIS), industrial manufacturing and OEM segments across Germany.

The company's offering is organized around two core pillars: IT Infrastructure (availability, compute, storage, enterprise networking, cloud, analytics, and lifecycle services) and IT Security (security solutions, managed security services, NIS 2-aligned awareness and hardening, and KRITIS-specific services). All solutions are tailored, project-based engagements spanning the full lifecycle from planning and procurement through implementation, 24/7 operations, and decommissioning. Hardware and software procurement is bundled into these engagements, with a wholly-owned subsidiary, PDV-ServiceDesk GmbH & Co. KG, providing 24/7/365 managed servicedesk services on a recurring-revenue basis.

PDV generates revenue primarily through professional services and managed services contracts with enterprise customers, supported by hardware and software resale. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting KRITIS operators in energy (TransnetBW, Avacon, bayernets), transportation (Die Autobahn GmbH), healthcare (Diakonie-Krankenhaus Harz, Med-X-Press) and industrial customers (MTU Aero Engines, Werthenbach, Bühler). Strategic technology and OEM partnerships — most notably with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Bilfinger GreyLogix, and M·SOFT — underpin its solution stack. The company is owner-managed under a dual leadership of Christian Daniel and Andree Plumeier, holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, and reported revenue of approximately 30 million euros with around 120 employees.

Direct peers

• Bechtle AG: Bechtle is Germany's largest IT system integrator and managed services provider, selling HPE, Dell, and Cisco infrastructure to enterprise and public-sector customers. Like PDV-Systeme, Bechtle combines hardware/software resale with project services and managed contracts, but at materially larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: SVA is a German IT infrastructure VAR and managed services specialist focused on enterprise datacenter, virtualization, and storage solutions from HPE and other vendors. It is the closest mid-market peer to PDV in terms of HPE-aligned datacenter delivery, though it serves a broader customer base outside critical infrastructure.
• CANCOM SE: CANCOM is a publicly listed German hybrid IT and managed services provider with strong HPE and Microsoft partnerships. It overlaps with PDV-Systeme on enterprise datacenter, cloud, and managed services, but competes at a much larger scale and across more verticals.
• Computacenter plc: Computacenter is a UK-headquartered enterprise IT infrastructure provider operating across Europe, with strong HPE ties. It shares PDV's profile of selling compute, storage, networking, and managed services to enterprise/government customers, but at a vastly larger scale and with much wider geographic reach.
• msg systems ag: msg is a German IT consulting and software house serving regulated industries including insurance, banking, healthcare, and public sector. It overlaps with PDV on consulting-led infrastructure and security work for highly regulated German customers, though it is more software/IP-heavy.
• q.beyond AG: q.beyond (formerly QSC AG) is a German IT services provider focused on cloud, SAP, and managed services for mid-market and enterprise customers. It is comparable to PDV in serving German Mittelstand with managed IT, but with a stronger cloud/SAP orientation and less KRITIS specialization.
• Allgeier IT Solutions: Allgeier is a German IT services group active in enterprise infrastructure, security, and managed services for mid-market customers. It is comparable to PDV as a mid-sized German IT solutions and services provider with multi-vendor datacenter and security capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• T-Systems International: T-Systems is the enterprise ICT arm of Deutsche Telekom and a dominant supplier of IT services to German critical infrastructure operators (energy, transport, public sector). It competes with PDV for large KRITIS programs, but operates as a broad-based incumbent with portfolio far beyond industrial IT.
• Sopra Steria SE: Sopra Steria is a major European IT services group with significant German public-sector and regulated-industry exposure. It competes with PDV on KRITIS-adjacent digital transformation projects, but at much larger scale and with a broader industry mix.
• Capgemini Engineering: Capgemini Engineering delivers industrial IT and OT/digital engineering services to manufacturing and infrastructure clients globally. It overlaps with PDV on industrial IT for OEMs and KRITIS-like customers, but operates as a broad consulting and engineering incumbent rather than a focused KRITIS specialist.
